Lycamobile IE - roaming in IE

MyPeopleNeedMe · 2012-10-10 18:49:23

So I've ordered Lycamobile SIM and got it today. After putting it in my phone (before any top-ups) it finds the network, except, somehow it's roaming. Did anyone have a similar experience? Maybe they connect to their base portuguese network, hence the roaming, but will that incur any additional charges if I buy any bundles…

It's a virtual network (it uses one of the Irish networks masts) so your phone probably thinks it's roaming. No problem.

Well that indeed seems to be the case. Thanks for the clarification!
