Lyca Mobile's 9-month unlimited talk, text, and 40GB plan is attractive for short-term use because the promo price is low and the network performance can be solid, with some activations showing AT&T-like speeds and even 5G Plus in rural Pennsylvania. The main catch is the jump to $49 per month after the promo ends, and the service can be frustrating to manage because the website, app, and support often misbehave. Porting out and canceling auto-renew have also been reported as difficult, so it works best when the number is not mission-critical.
Common Questions (5)
You can port out successfully, but the process can be very easy or very painful depending on the account. Some users completed it in minutes with the account number and PIN, while others had to deal with long holds, repeated requests, or FCC escalation before Lyca released the port-out info.
Yes. The account number and PIN can be viewed in the Lyca website account details after logging in, and some users can access them through OTP login or the app. It is safest to pull them early in case you need to port out later.
The plan renews at $49 per month after the 9-month promo period, not at the $12.50 promotional rate. That makes it best for short-term use unless you plan to cancel before renewal.
Service does not begin until the SIM is activated. Physical SIMs are shipped and reportedly auto-activated about 2 days after purchase, while eSIM activation can fail if you add the QR code during a port-in when the email says not to.
Yes, the phone must be unlocked to use Lyca Mobile. A locked device may not activate on the network, so check unlock status before starting the port or SIM activation.

Lyca support is really worthless, they don't tell you anything if a port request fails - there should be a reason code provided according to my old carrier.
I did fix the problem and learned something; triple check to make sure the "service address", E911 and billing addresses are exactly the same between your new line at Lyca and the old carrier.
Mine had the wrong zip code. Apparently porting numbers between carriers requires an address verification check just like credit cards do... It wasn't until I changed my E911 and billing addresses at my old carrier that a port request by Lyca succeeded - within 30 minutes after resubmitting it with help from Lyca chat support.
On the good news, I have an AT&T 30 day free trial eSIM on my spare iPhone and speed tests between both Lyca and AT&T are almost exactly the same. Lyca may be throttling video to 1080p ("AT&T streamsaver") will see if i can figure out how to disable.

They then blocked/ignored emails, and eventually said my account had to be "active" (like I had to pay another month) before they would release the port-out info. This is not required under FCC Local Number Portability rules. I had to file an FCC complaint just to get them to engage.
Even after FCC escalation, Lyca still demanded payment to reactivate the line before releasing the info, effectively holding the number hostage. To get my number out quickly, I paid the minimum plan to reactivate, then immediately requested the port-out again.
Tldr expect serious friction if you ever need to port out of Lyca. If your phone number matters (2FA, work, banking), be aware you may need FCC escalation to leave.
