1920

This is the cheapest possible way to get a number, park a number, use for OTP or sign up to marketing spam in Australia for a whole year. Free incoming texts when roaming in the countries listed in the CIS.

It has cheaper calls to 13/1300 numbers, cheaper data and generally cheaper international rates (e.g. same SMS price for national and international numbers) compared to amaysim's $10 option.

    I think I've just discovered the next level of this deal… how to get a SIM/number active for just the $2 initial purchase, without the $5 top-up.

    Here's what I did:
    - Purchased the eSim for $2 from the Lebara site
    - Went through activation journey. Because I failed the credit card verification checks, it asked me to upload a copy of ID. I did.
    - Gave me a long alphanumeric code, and "verification pending" message
    - Called up Lebara customer support
    - Gave them that long code.
    - They activated my account immediately within seconds.
    - I then added the eSim to my Samsung phone using the QR code in the email.
    - Connected to network immediately.
    - I then logged onto my Lebara account on the web (phone number + PIN they text you once you add your eSim to your phone).
    - Went into some settings part of the menu, where it said to "activate" you need to get a 6-digit code sent to your Lebara number. This was quick and easy.
    - On my dashboard, my expiry date is now 1 year later, despite having not bought the $5 top-up. Just the initial $2 SIM.

    IMO exactly what I wanted, as I need a number just to receive calls, texts, OTP, etc.

    • Good find. Bit too ambiguous to post as a deal as there's no info on it. Are calls and text working?

        I've tried incoming calls and texts, both work fine. Haven't tried outgoing. Or data. But assume not since there's no credit.

    • This is rather clever :)

    • -This was quick and easy. lol.
      It is long list task For A Few Dollar More

  • I have ported my number to Lebara. I'm overseas and needed it for incoming txt. Unfortunately I have no reception. Is an international roaming pack required which costs an additional $15? If this is the case it's not a good deal for overseas use..

    • Roaming is available in selected countries listed above. No additional packs needed.

      • Thanks, I'm in Germany so it should work. I also contacted Lebara and they confirmed that I need a roaming pack for it to work.

        • Are you using the PAYG plan or a regular plan? The free incoming sms when roaming is from the CIS for the PAYG plan.

  • Does Lebara have a nice interface to manage a few sim cards, like the Amaysim app/portal? Just to see expires, numbers etc.

  • Good deal, but would rather avoid the worst telco network coverage across Australia.

  • how may services can you have with them?
    I use a few passive SMS apps, where i get paid to receive SMS

  • I'm in

  • The linked page says "The minimum recharge value is $10 and there’s a 365 day expiry."
    What am I missing?

  • Will this work when overseas to receive OTPs?

    • If you're in a country where Lebara offer roaming. A Telstra MVNO would be better as you can also receive SMS via VoWiFi outside roaming countries.

  • I ordered a Lebara sim and received it in the mail. But I don't know how to access the $7 PAYG plan? When I installed the app and tried to follow all the steps, it only lists much more expensive plans and no PAYG option appears.

    Can someone tell me how I activate this deal with my new sim card please ?

    Thankyou 🙏

    • Haven't used the app. Try the web interface or activate by calling support.

      • @Stingo Thanks for your reply👍 I did end up trying the website after posting here and thankfully the website had the PAYG option, very strange that the app does not have it.

          Wouldn't be the first time different functionality was offered in an app vs online. PAYG is something Lebara don't appear to be that keen on advertising. amaysim is the same in that respect. You have to know where to look find info on PAYG plans on both their web sites.

          • @Stingo: You know, I had a feeling that's what was going on. Really don't like it when companies do this, but the main thing is they still offer it!👍
