    Ok thanks so thats 2months for the price of one.
    Yes, and very handy. Now with restrictions, everywhere has wifi except when out walking/exercising you could probably pay even less. I haven't checked out the other bundles, I am about to start the 2nd month in the same bundle mentioned above.

    Yes, providing you don't use texts during the top up months (if you do eat into the €15 you can obviously top your balance up back to €15)
    and as mentioned above there are cheaper bundles if they suit but you will always need to top up by 15 every 2nd month

    You purchased the Ireland plus bundle which costs €15
    When that expires top up by €15 then you will have €15 credit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,996 ✭✭✭✭zell12


    You purchased the IrelandPlus bundle for e15. Error there

    You should have just topped up by e15 which would have given 15gb, unlimited calls, for 30 days, keep credit.

    You'll know next time

    Lyca is only 3G.
    In certain EU countries whilst roaming you get 4G.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,284 ✭✭✭homingbird


    I now seem to be getting 4G from my lyca sim as you can see it says roaming if that means anything.

    Could be related to a temporary 3 month licence issued to the MNOs by Comreg, it allows them to use the 3G 2100 MHz band for 4G services during the Covid-19 period. Licences can be given a further 3 month period if the situation continues.

    Big Comreg spectrum auction next year, to include this band, which will allow liberalised use licences from 3G only to 4G/5G as required.

    Does this now mean prices are on the way up & I just switched to them no complaint s now .. this will make Tesco mobile lose a lot of it's customers.

    I doubt it. They have been using this pricing model for a long time

    Tesco upped there prices when they switched to 4G.The faster roll out of 5G might be the only thing to keep prices down for 4G customer s.

    I received this text from them....

    Fast, faster, Lycamobile! 4G data available to all Lycamobile customers at no extra cost! You can opt out from receiving marketing SMS by sending STOP to 3232.

    Hi can anyone help. I’m a Lyca customer and signed up to Ireland plus deal for €15 But I can only text Lyca virgin and 3 customers as they are all same network. Any other network doesn’t receive my texts and my deal only ever lasts 14 days. Any help would be appreciated

    I doubt it. They did the same when 4G rolled out. Customers started getting 3G.

    Fastest response is usually on their facebook page, but it might be better to also order a new sim and see if that fixes the issues, as with any of these budget networks, their customer support isn't good.

    I could send you a referral for Yolla and you would get $3 of Yolla credit that you could use to call the Dublin number?

    Use this code to sign up and you should get $3 credit

    https://yolla.im/FJV1N6

    $0.016 per minute to Irish landlines.

    I think a service like Yolla is good as international call rates through mobile operators is high

    Do you still keep your credit with the €15 plan?

    You are not charged if you have an active plan or topup


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Ten Pin


    Keep credit is a top up offer that includes 15GB and all calls for 30 days

    The terms of the offer state that it can be withdrawn whenever Lyca choose. They renew the offer every month but there's no guarantee that it will be renewed next month or the month after etc...only Lyca know that. The current offer expires on 30 June.

    Lyca used to block tethering, they might still do so, if you need to tether, get a SIM and test it out before porting.

    I'm with Tesco and keep credit for following month to spend on data etc.
    No guarantee that the plan will be available after 30th of June, yea that would be a deciding factor for me. I don't think I would change unless I knew it was permanent.

    They've been using this free credit model for at least 2 years now. There are no indications that it is going to change anytime soon.

    How much data do you get when you just topup not buy a bundle as it doesn't state it also I got on too them to find out how to see your data usage as I switched over someone & they got no length of data usage they used wifi for most of the time I have to contact them Monday to sort this out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,996 ✭✭✭✭zell12


    It is pretty clear
    https://www.lycamobile.ie/en/special-offers/special-offers-top-up-offers/

    balance is *131#
    data etc *137# or *147#


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,284 ✭✭✭homingbird


    Lyca have updated there app & I am not getting a option to use credit to topup only credit card have they pulled the old deal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Ten Pin

    Is it available through website login?

    Buying a bundle from credit can also be done via text to 3535. Each bundle has it's own specific code.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,284 ✭✭✭homingbird


    Lyca have dropped the price of there main deal from 15 to 10 euro it says you have to text portin to 8888 is this correct meaning your 10 euro is used up you dont get the second month free or half price by keeping your credit for to buy following month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,850 ✭✭✭Ten Pin

    There are 2 offers for porting to Lyca...

    One offer is 10e for 12 months with autorenew...so it's 10e every month...15e thereafter.

    Other offer is 10e for 3 months, 10e top up required each of those 3 months...15e thereafter.


    Whereas the ongoing offer of top up in month 1 and buy a bundle in month 2 works out at 7.50 per month.


    Clever marketing but not really a price drop as long as the top up offer continues.

    Ireland Plus is still €15 on Lyca website, unless you are a new customer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,284 ✭✭✭homingbird


    Yes Ireland plus is available for 15 euro but if you buy the 20 Euro topup you won't be short the 5 euro for 3rd month.
