Uses Vodafone network. Check the coverage around the areas you frequent before buying.

If you order an eSIM, an email with a QR code will come within a few minutes.

Definition of new vs existing customer is controlled by Lyca Mobile, not the cashback provider. You can use dots if you use Gmail(support.google.com) to pass as a new user (i.e. [email protected] and [email protected] all go to the same inbox).

There is a generous 60 day window for SIM activation (applies for cashback as well), which one of the few good things about Lyca Mobile.

Previous deals have a large number of users reporting how poor the number porting process is. I would suggest you use the number that comes with it on a dual SIM phone and set that number for data usage only.

If you want to use it just for the first month and not renew at the regular price, make sure to check both the auto recharge and auto renew settings in the Lyca Mobile app or website. People in previous deals have reported being confused by this and assumed that they are the same, only checked one of them and have ended up being charged for a second month. One of them will be on by default. Make sure both of them are off.

  Not to downvote the OP but Lyca is the new TPG in my experience - if all goes well then that's fine. Slightest issue needing their support - you are in for a sh*t show..

    been with TPG for years and been great. Whenever I have any issues they were pretty good in troubleshooting and resolving the issues for me.

  OP, you got TopCashback in the title, change to Shopback.

  Btw, Shopback is notorious for not tracking or tracking incorrect amounts.

  It’s a scam. My previous purchase was declined despite being the new customer ie never had a sim with Lyca before. Escalated the case and now have to wait until end of May for an outcome. Not worth the effort

    Yup. Mine also declined after porting out, You need to stay until its paid, not worth it.

    Mine was rejected as well after having multiple issues tracking. I signed up for a new number, never disconnected and it should still be able to receive incoming calls as credit ran out just before Xmas. Avoid.

  I tried this offer yesterday, couldn't even activate the eSIM on my iPhone 12

  I would stay away from Lyca. They auto recharge and extremely hard to deal with. They send random emails to delay fixing billing issues.

  Tips for sim swappers:

  Best to avoid using this as a sim swap alternative. Porting in is a no issue. However, for the porting out process, you would expect your Lyca service to be non functional as soon as you transfer to your new service and pause all future Lyca payments. This is not the case. They will issue the on going charge for a service that is NOT being used.

  Refund process is: you email about the charge -> you provide order number, previous number the sim was allocated with and your Lyca charge from your payment service -> 5-7 business day refund. Any information not supplied will delay the refund even more. Emailing for fixes is much faster than phoning (they will basically ask you to do the mentioned steps).

  Additional steps for porting out not included :).

  Tracked for me! Thanks OP.

  I don't trust Shopback with Lyca moble

  tl;dr Shopback tracked my Lyca purchase back in November, now it's rejected.

  Buyer beware!

  Still waiting on Topcashback w / Lyca
