Lyca Mobile unlimited data SIM deals

Lyca Mobile is an internationally focused network that’s partnered with EE in the UK, so when using your phone in the UK on Lyca Mobile, you’ll have the same coverage as you would on EE.

We’ll get into what we mean by ‘internationally focused’ below, but Lyca Mobile is included on this page because it sells SIM Only plans with unlimited data, so it’s worth considering if that’s what you’re looking for.

These plans additionally come with unlimited UK minutes and texts, along with other features, details of which you’ll find below.

Is roaming included?

Yes, Lyca Mobile’s unlimited data SIM Only plans allow you to roam across the EU at no extra cost, and some plans also include roaming in India and China, which is rare for UK networks.

For roaming in Europe and India there’s a 35GB fair usage limit, which is more generous than a lot of networks, and when roaming in China – if you have a plan that includes this – the limit is 5GB.

Are there any speed restrictions?

Assuming you don’t exceed the fair use limits (detailed below) Lyca Mobile won’t limit your speeds on any of its plans, so the only restrictions are what your phone and the nearby network infrastructure are capable of.

Are there any fair usage restrictions?

Lyca Mobile says that you shouldn’t use more data than “reasonably expected of a person using the service for personal purposes.”

Some plans more specifically mention 450GB as being the limit, and Lyca Mobile states that if you exceed this it may reduce your speed or suspend your services.

What other benefits are included?

Lyca Mobile’s unlimited data SIM Only plans additionally come with between 100 and unlimited international minutes for calling abroad.

Plus, there’s the option of an eSIM, and you can tether, make Wi-Fi calls, and make 4G calls.

What other networks should you consider?

EE is one clear alternative to Lyca Mobile since they have the same coverage. EE’s plans don’t come with international minutes as standard but some do come with premium extras like a subscription to a streaming service.

Other alternatives include 1pMobile, CMLink, and Spusu, all of which also share EE’s coverage, as well as Lebara, which has different coverage but a similar focus on international calling and roaming to Lyca Mobile.
