      4.90 for even 10 days is good, let alone 28 days.

    this appears to be better value than Lebara other than 2 days less expiry period.

    Does this have to be activated within 60 days?

      Once you have a sim for a given carrier can you go back to it? New to being a prepaid slut :)

      • paloverde88 on 10/04/2017 - 18:40

        most members here won't admit it but they are all telco churned and re churned recycled prepaid sluts.

      • ozhunter68 on 10/04/2017 - 22:10

        Yes you can. For Optus, Telstra, boost, Vodafone, Amaysim etc, but not too sure what happens with certain deals like Kogan, Woolworths and this one with special one off deals for new customers first month. Obviousely if you port in for the first time as a new customer you will get special deal, probably if port out and back in as your only ( one sim and number in your name ) you could be eligable again but can't guarantee that, depends on their system.

        Maybe someone with that experience can elaborate more please.

      I called their customer service on 1300 854 607. They said "if a service has been activated and isn't used for 90 days it will be deactivated, but if it was never activated there won't be a problem". …not the most reassuring response, perhaps I didn't ask the right questions.

    • guppal on 10/04/2017 - 15:50

      I am sure you need to get this online and they activate promotion on the sim when you buy it.

    There is a little sneaky checkbox (Auto-Renewal) under "Cart Summary" on the right side of your screen. Don't forget to uncheck it, if you are buying just for the first month!!

    Cheers!

    • mccarthyp64 on 10/04/2017 - 17:17

      Noticed that one all by myself ;)

    • moonwalk on 10/04/2017 - 20:44

      how is it possible for them to charge renewal? isnt this prepaid

    • ozhunter68 on 10/04/2017 - 22:13

      Good to warn people, looks like they learnt from Kogan, or other way round. They have credit/debit card details from ordering online, just like Kogan.

      • EnALup on 10/04/2017 - 22:27

        They take it one form of identification and I am happy to hand it over compared to my licence details.

        • ozhunter68 on 10/04/2017 - 22:31

          Why? They can't get money from a drivers licence, unlike credit/debit card. Someone could use your drivers licence id details for crime/fraud ( like happened to me over two decades ago for getting expensive multiple mobile phone plan contracts out in my name ), but you can not be held liable as you did not purchase or sign contract yourself.

        • EnALup on 10/04/2017 - 22:53

          @ozhunter68: Untick auto renewal and you are done. If they still do, you can get it back.

  • shaybisc on 10/04/2017 - 17:54

    Do people actually stay on these first month super cheap then expensive forever deals? Talk about set and forget.

    I am not talking about you, ozbargainer. I am talking about the target market the company has in mind.

      How about the expiry? I need to Go through kogan and lebara sims first

      In my case it's Kogan and Woolworths mobile, with some Telstra data SIM's thrown in for good measure. I just took a $4.90 punt and bought one of the Lyca SIM's anyway.

        Haha, sounds like similar situation as me. Hard being a sim slut and keeping up with dozens of sim expiry dates and numerous changing offers from over half a dozen different Telcos lol.

  • Mithu9 on 10/04/2017 - 22:58
    +1

    I did not get the 50% offer. they turned out with new terms (which is not mentioned on their website).
    as I was with Lyca earlier in 2014 and I again went back to them in 2016, I did not get new customer benefit.

    So be aware !!!! if you have been with Lyca before, DO NOT port back…

    Lycamobile is seriously time waste, better stay with other teleco`s who has similar offer..

    I will NOT recommend Lyca any more….

    • squeeb on 11/04/2017 - 09:26

      Are you porting in the same number that you used in 2014 or a different number?

      • Mithu9 on 11/04/2017 - 15:29

        It is the same number.

        • squeeb on 12/04/2017 - 07:50

          Okay makes sense. Wonder if you could be classified as a "new customer" if you activate it on a different phone number.

        • Mithu9 on 12/04/2017 - 11:09

          @squeeb:

          http://www.lycamobile.com.au/en/transfer-your-number-to-lyca…

          In this link it clearly says porting number gets 50% off…
          But Lyca guys are pain.. Stay away from Lyca and live a happy life :)

        • ozhunter68 on 14/04/2017 - 17:21

          @squeeb:

          Thanks for your input. Would that same number porting also apply to the Kogan $1 / 12GB 30 day new customer offer or not?

          @ozhunter68:
          I haven't gotten around to porting to Kogan yet. Still using up my other sim packs before expiry. Someone else may be able help in the Kogan thread.

          @Mithu9:
          Yeah. Doesn't mention that you have to be a new customer on that page.

          The $4.90 special is a different deal all together. I was just wondering if they classify you as a new customer if you port in a number that has never been activated on Lycamobile or if you have never had a service activated with them under your name.

    • roland on 14/04/2017 - 21:55

      Buy the bundle as a new customer then use the pin you receive in your email on your old sim!!!

  • Mattystein on 10/04/2017 - 23:02

    This may be a noob question, so my apologies, but does anyone know if a phone/voice SIM (i.e. this one) can be put in a WiFi dongle and use the data that way? Or is there a network restriction detecting what device the SIM is in?

    "Bonus data effective from 23/03/2017 to 30/04/2017" … does this mean you must activate the sim b4 30/4 or that the bonus data disappears on this date?

  • chocapoky on 11/04/2017 - 04:40

    Very good offer indeed but maybe worth reading the reviews before buying?? Don't think its worth dealing with all the crap from the company for $4.90… especially when something goes wrong…

    • ozhunter68 on 14/04/2017 - 18:29

      Can you port away from Kogan and back with same name and number and still get the $1 12GB new customer offer?

      • daver on 15/04/2017 - 11:23

        Yes IMHO/experience. Unlikely that term would begin impeding returning new services or opening anew multiple <5 numbers not recharged.

        • ozhunter68 on 15/04/2017 - 11:27

          Thanks for reply. Someone else on the Kogan $1 deal listing said they did and it still stands, so not sure now. Have you tried yourself?

        • daver on 15/04/2017 - 14:26

          @ozhunter68: not great if true, but I have not tested it. I may move my dormant services onto sims in boost mobile for scheduled deactivation, Kogan advise deactivate anyway automatically (IIRC >6mo+?) but more of a remote concern.

  • onlyme on 11/04/2017 - 15:09
    +1

    Note that the Kogan Mobile 14GB for $1 deal is still active. This could be a good porting option between Kogan SIMs.

  • muffins on 11/04/2017 - 21:07

    Can you port in from aldi on this? Or as per advert it says it's new sim only (which may mean you can't port in). Looking to buy more than one of these to port out/in. Easy with lyca?

  • kar200 on 19/04/2017 - 11:34

    Just got the samecard. I have got a prepaid boost sim which I want to transfer to lycamobile.

    The issue is I cannot see (boost mobile) in the list of providers to churn from.

    Also it asks for an account number which I am not sure I have seen before on the boost prepaid.

    Anyone?

    • tazmoi on 19/04/2017 - 15:14

      deleted comments, Kar200 has answered what Lycamobile require

      • kar200 on 19/04/2017 - 16:13

        No worries,

        I followed the instructoions. The guy over the phone said that it would take up to 2h30 for the transfer to happen.

        I am using the new sim but it still got the old number. I wonder what I have done wrong.

  • kar200 on 19/04/2017 - 12:37

    For the sim sluts out there,

    I jsut called Lycamobile and for boost you have to select (Telstra).
    For the account number you have to use 61xxxxxx (xx for your mobile number)

    Good luck.

  • Lets Go Brandon on 26/04/2017 - 16:07

    I have the feeling Lyca is very sketchy.

    Since a couple days of activating the sim I've had:

    TEXT - "Westpac Alert: Transaction blocked on card ending 7040 at an ATM for $100 at 22:28. If genuine, reply 'Yes'. If fraud reply 'No'.

    CALLS - 6 different calls from Marketing/Scammers from 6 different states.

    I activated it as a new number. Lyca has to be selling details to third parties.

  • moonwalk on 30/04/2017 - 16:00

    bought this and never received the sim card until today

  • tajid on 07/05/2017 - 21:34

    Does anyone know if Lyca is roaming free in the US?
