    Well that is actually good news that they are adding EU data roaming to at least some of their packages.

    Though confusing that their "international and european" packages don't include EU Roaming!

    They most have been losing lots of customers over this.

    Has anyone considered switching from Lyca recently? Their packages seem confusing enough and I see they are still assigning UK numbers when out of Ireland, not sure is that just for being in the UK, or Europe/Rest of World too?

    No

    I like the €10 & €12 international bundles that allow a good few minutes to Europe.

    Use a dual SIM phone ( or two phones ) to steer around any bumps in the Lycamobile road :)

    If you can find me another plan with more than 3gb at 5€ I will.
    Honestly Lyca is the cheapest deal I can have, and I've never had issues with them

    It works in phone and no problems with tethering. It is way faster than Lyca's internet and I think ~6GB can be used in roaming.

    Many phones have dual SIM slots, so you can have data and voice plans separately.

    My parents are off to Australia at the end of the month.

    They want to get a Lycamobile SIM for the trip.

    There is a deal on the Australian Lycamobile website with 7gb Data + Unlimited National Calls and Text for $14.95 (half price for new customers).

    Can you order the Sim here in Ireland and activate the Australian deal over there or would the have to order the Sim in Australia. Also does the deal activate immediatelly or only when you turn it on?

    I've done a bit of Googling but found nothing helpful.

    They haven't emailed back, presumably because it's the weekend.

    I was just asking in case someone had a similar experience.

    Glad you got your dig in though I suppose?

    Don't ring them, it's painful. Catchphrases are "see, here's the thing" and "I understand", both repeated numerous times in each conversation. Numerous phone calls later my reason for ringing still wasn't resolved. Eventually just moved network.

    Great thing about PayPal is you ll get your money back , open a dispute with PayPal . Reason did nt get the service. Also check all the open payments with lyca and close them ,

    Correct there's no 4G but I've never experienced any unreliability with Lyca, best carrier I have been with in terms of service uptime and have never had a lost text. YMMV of course, but from my own experience I would recommend them very highly.

    It seems that Lycamobile was fined in Belgium https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=02b3ea8c-12f3-4eb9-998d-355e422d80a7 but it also seems that roaming regulation are quite bad for MVNOs currently.
