They have made it more easy now. You log into your account and in the account details the account number and pin can be viewed. I agree previously it was hard, but not anymore

Lyca Mobile was on T-Mobile, but they've been transitioning to the AT&T network after a legal dispute with T-Mobile, a shift that was supposed to happen around late 2024/early 2025, with new activations stopping on T-Mobile's network in September 2025. Per AI

This company intentionally makes it very difficult to port your number out, but it is possible. They are a huge pain to deal with, but the service itself can be a good deal when on sale. Be warned that after the promotional price expires, the regular price is unreasonably high. I recommend using a privacy.com virtual credit card to ensure that they don't keep charging you if they make it a hassle to cancel.

Community Reviews

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.

I had a big trouble when it times to put out the phone number when I call the company they couldn't even give me the accurate information and the call was somewhere out of the United States.
They are working with overseas people because are 10 times cheaper than US 😂

If you get Lyca, get your account number and pin ASAP. Trust me. It was the biggest pain to switch from them.

Website gave me non-stop errors, wouldn't let me log in. The app is extremely broken. The chat on the website, you stay on hold, indefinitely. On the phone, it takes quite a long time to get a hold of someone. And when you do, they can't help you switch to another phone or get your account number/pin. They have to elevate you to next people up. You stay on hold until they close. 3 days in a row.

Zero help. Lots of stress and phone calls for just my account number and pin. Stay away or learn the hard way.

Good luck porting out. They do give you the acct # and pin on the website, but the number isnt actually unlocked by them. So you still have to call anyways took several hours on hold.

Scam company, I paid for the 9 month plan, started in February, and they charged my card today. Will see if I can get my money back.

Even after confirming your email address, entering address, and billing information? The button changes from grey to green when the form is complete for me. (I did not try submitting though.)

You are able to view account number and pin by going to Lyca Mobile website (app won't pull info), login in, click three lines top right, manage account and the select account and PIN number. I recommend pulling this information well before you need to port out.

1moey in this thread said that you need to call to make the number unlocked (you can't port it out I think even if you have all info if it is locked by lycamobile itself).

Is that still true?

LYCA Totally scammed me , they send a defective sim card which did not work across multiple devices I tried. I contacted support over the phone and was issued a ticket number for providing a refund to be expected in 3-5 days. Its been more than 2 weeks now and no refund. Contacting support again doesnt help, they just give one more "ticket number" to look into it and nothing happens.

The issue I have is the priorty of the calls is usually one worse then being a AT&T customer. Need better priority.

Best AT&T deal that I know of is 299 per year USMobile with decent priority.

this is about 1/2 true...it is easier to do most of this online, but only when the app is working, and it has tons of issues; calling gets you passed around with no one being able to help; except the cancel team...the funnel out Wink I had big issues trying to buy a new sim to do a transfer within lyca (support told me I had to just to get it working, and I thought it was worth $7 to just be done with it...and it still didn't work)...if you get lucky and things go well, not bad service, if something goes wonky, you're just in trouble
