    Stay away from Lyca and Libara. Very slow data and very bad customer service

    • quickpanda101 on 02/10/2025 - 10:52

      Depends entirely on where you are. I tend to get better coverage on Vodafone than Optus or Telstra in my area. Customer service when it comes to MVNOs tends to be below par across the board from my experience.

      • catbin on 02/10/2025 - 11:24

        Lyca is a very different MVNO. They only use Vodafone radio frequencies with their own IP backbones, meaning very slow.

        • plmko on 02/10/2025 - 11:33

          Im using it right now. 165/12 on 5G

          Yes very slow….

          I'm not sure if this is true since the switch to Vodafone. They are using Voda IPs now.

      • Puffdragon on 02/10/2025 - 11:39

        Yup me too. Literally 10x faster with Lyca than with optus or telstra.

          I can see you are in VIC , Optus is fubar in Melbourne. It's made worse that their 5G uses this weird 4G switching thing and drains your phone battery.

          I have a connections with all 3 Telcos, Vodafone with Lyca. Even Lyca is immensely faster than my full Optus line. Full Telstra is faster by 2.5x but you pay 4x the price, not worth it for normal everyday use.

          • sharkfin on 02/10/2025 - 12:03

            @plmko: I'm also in Melbourne but in my area Optus is by far the fastest, followed by Voda and Telstra is the slowest. I can barely get 100mbps from Telstra 5g.

    • kungfuman on 02/10/2025 - 11:08

      do they do number transfers?

    • kungfuman on 02/10/2025 - 11:08

      Telstra has the worst customer service of any telco in Australia but people are still going to them.

    Recently bought a $10 sim to churn with Lyca. I had to forfeit it because i tried to do it on a Thursday and the next available time was Monday. You have to activate first before you port your number too.. weird process. Would not recommend if you're not savvy on all this

    12 renewals is 12 years? That's quite a commitment to not increasing the price.

    They've really borked up the description. Not off to a good start.

    • Shonky on 02/10/2025 - 11:13

      Yeah seems it's just their janky way of describing the plan.

      It's $110 total for 12 renewals. Not $110 per renewal for the next 12 renewals.

      So the "renewal" is every 30 days and you only get 200/12GB = ~17GB each month (although it rolls over). You just pay for 12 renewals up front.

      Think of it like a 30 day plan at $110/12 = $9.16 per renewal but you are forced to pay 12 months in advance

  • Mydc5r on 02/10/2025 - 10:56

    Careful, this is not a real annual plan.

    • DRAGONPHONEIX on 02/10/2025 - 11:00

          12 renewals per 360 days. 1 renewal each 30 days

  • Meovel on 02/10/2025 - 11:08

    How long do you have to activate the service?

    • quickpanda101 on 02/10/2025 - 11:13

      Critical Information Summary says "Activate your new SIM
      within 30 days of purchase (or by the promotional deadline) to access the benefits of advertised plans.". So still confusing as to which is it

      • Meovel on 02/10/2025 - 11:35

        Thx this sounds like for promotions that include bonus data

  • batrarobin on 02/10/2025 - 11:12

    Do they provide a QR code for their eSIM or is it via the App? The reason I ask is because I would like to use it for my Samsung Watch which only accepts the QR code.

    • JuiceWRLD on 02/10/2025 - 11:42

      QR code via email

    • sharkfin on 02/10/2025 - 12:03

      Can you use any eSim plan with a watch? I thought it had to be a special watch plan?

      • batrarobin on 02/10/2025 - 12:06
        +1

        There is a hack which lets you download any eSim as long as you have a QR code. You need a phone temporarily to help you download the eSim.

    Lyca is at best incompetent and at worst a scummy POS company.

    Billing issues. Error when checking out and they still bill you and send stuff. Porting issues. Overall trash company

    • dws on 02/10/2025 - 11:41

      That's a shame. Really good price too.

      • Chocobros on 02/10/2025 - 12:43
        +1

        Yeah the price is good for sure and I mean no disrespect to OP… It's just from numerous personal experiences with Lyca.

        I even gave Lyca another go after a long time of avoiding but it was a disaster. Never again for me. If it works out well for you I guess it's not so bad.

        As others have said try not to use your main payment cards. Things like zip one time cards or wise digital cards are useful to prevent stealth billing.

          revolut one time use card

    • GTR12 on 02/10/2025 - 15:27

      I think this can be said about any MVNO IMO.

      I had the exact same problems with Amaysim, they couldn't port my number, double billing etc.

      I haven't gone back, I suppose it's just a OzBargain thing as we port around so frequently.

      • Chocobros on 02/10/2025 - 18:06

        I agree issues can be had with any mvno as you say but in my opinion/from personal experience Lyca is on a whole other level of shittery. Whether it is just incompetence or purposeful I don't know but it's definitely not just me struggling with Lyca.

        Fwiw I port frequently and have never had issues with any other provider (including boost, kogan, felix, lebara, amaysim etc.). In contrast I have always struggled with Lyca over multiple attempts.

        If it works out well for you that's great but if it doesn't join the growing club 😕

  • atw on 02/10/2025 - 11:29

    Does that mean I can renew at $110 for the next 12 years?

          So that they can charge your credit card every month, and eventually it feels normal and you forget to cancel it.

    • wetsandwich on 02/10/2025 - 11:58

      Is it? Faster theoretical speed range than most users' NBN would have been in the last few years (up to 180/40).
      I'm on Spintel 4g and never really thought about caring how many G's I've got because it just works.

      • YRT on 02/10/2025 - 18:11

        4G is generally no problem at home. However, when travelling on train and signal is not always stable, 5G opens websites and 4G does not. :)

    • dragonos81 on 02/10/2025 - 12:02

      CIS lists 4G and 5G

    • CachePC on 02/10/2025 - 12:04

      If you read the CIS it says 4G and 5G - I tried a sim of theirs from Amazon ($6 for 20gb) and compared with Boost which is speed gimped at 150mbps, I got 470mbps at exactly the same location. Perhaps these 360 day plans are speed limited but CIS says 5g

    • quickpanda101 on 02/10/2025 - 12:35

      Many plans cap it at 150Mbps or something on both 4G and 5G, so you won't notice a difference most of the time.

    • JimB on 02/10/2025 - 15:24

      Not for 99% of users. I've though, gee that 50mb WhatApp video is loading up too slow at 100Mbps.

      Maybe if you're using it for home broadband.

      Or if you're using it for business (Laptop) but if work is paying for it, it wouldn't be using Lyca.

  • wetsandwich on 02/10/2025 - 11:56

    Hmmmm

    The description is so munted that I'd be seriously concerned about my phone even working. Can't they put it into ChatGPT to make it make more sense? That's an actual real use of AI.

    Headache only from instructions

  • FutureTech on 02/10/2025 - 12:18

    Is the data rollover monthly? Or only when you renew the annual plan

    • quickpanda101 on 02/10/2025 - 12:23
      +1

      Data rollover: Up to 500GB of unused data will roll over into your Data Bank when you recharge on the same or a higher-value
      plan - this can be either the same or a higher long-term plan or greater than the split 28-day value of your current long-term
      plan. Bonus data and data-only plans cannot be banked.

      So basically it only rolls over after 12 months if you recharge with the same plan (which would revert to $220).

      • FutureTech on 02/10/2025 - 12:53

        That's useless, only last month's data can be rolled over then

    Do NOT transfer a number to Lyca, their systems are garbage & they will hold your number hostage.

  • OhNoUShiz on 02/10/2025 - 13:32

    Oh boy, I had a real nightmare with Lyca. I bought a starter pack, but I couldn’t activate the sim. I tried contacting them multiple times sent them multiple emails to no response , they were completely unhelpful. Their bot is really crap and never responds and customer service was the worst I’ve ever experienced. I even had to involve my bank to get my money back. It was a total hassle! Please avoid these cheapos!!

    If you get Payment error at the last stage of ordering. Know for sure that payment has gone through. Never use your bank card for ordering. Use prepaid.

  • fatgooseGYM on 02/10/2025 - 17:09

    I think the worst thing I had been with Lyca was porting numbers in, you can't do port in, you have to activated a wired number first and book a time to port in, I totally confused about this and I gave up to port in.

    • wetsandwich on 02/10/2025 - 17:39

      I'm wondering how they can be that bad when all other providers have automated it since at least 10 years ago.
