Here are some of the features to look out for when buying a Lebara SIM only deal:

  • Data allowances: Plans include 5GB, 20GB, 30GB and unlimited data options.

How to choose the best Lebara SIM only plan for you?

Finding a Lebara SIM only deal that works for you depends on your individual needs. In the UK, mobile phone customers use an average of 8.7GB  of data every month.

That doesn’t mean you should rush to buy a 10GB plan. The best way to work out how much data you need is to look at how much you already use. You should be able to do this by checking your usage with your current network, either through the website or the app.
 
For help finding a Lebara SIM only deal with the right amount of data, see our guide on ‘How much mobile data do you need?’. And remember, when you compare mobile phones with Confused, you can filter plans by data allowance.

Why choose Lebara?

Here are just some of the reasons consumers choose Lebara Mobile over other networks:

  • Flexible contracts: As well as 12-month plans, Lebara also offers 30-day rolling plans. That means you can change or cancel your deal anytime.
  • No credit checks: Lebara does not ask for a credit check when you sign up for a SIM only deal. For this reason, it’s a popular network for people with lower credit scores or not-yet-established credit scores.
  • No price surprises: With Lebara, any ‘out of bundle’ use is capped at zero. That means you won’t get any nasty surprises when your bill comes through.
  • Inclusive international minutes: All Lebara SIM only plans have international minutes to 41 countries included. If you need more, you can buy a 50 international minutes add-on for £3. There’s even an option for unlimited international limits starting with the £18 a month, 30GB 12-month plan.
  • Data roaming as standard: Lebara customers can use their UK data allowance while roaming in the EU and India, completely free. However, if you’re on an unlimited data plan, you will only be able to use 30GB data.
  • Excellent customer service: Lebara Mobile scores an impressive 4.8 stars out of 5 on Trustpilot, with reviews left by more than 36,000 customers.

Network reliability and coverage

Lebara Mobile runs on the Vodafone network, which covers 98% of the UK with 83% 4G coverage. This figure is the second highest in the UK, with EE offering 88% 4G coverage. If you have a 5G-ready phone, Lebara’s network offers average data speeds over 20Mbps.

Environmentally conscious users will be happy to hear that the Vodafone network Lebara uses is powered by 100% renewable electricity.

International calling and roaming benefits

All Lebara SIM only deals include an allowance of international minutes or calls to international mobiles and landlines. Options range from 100,500, and even unlimited international minutes. This is why Lebara is a very popular choice for people who like to keep in regular contact with friends and family abroad.

With Lebara, roaming, or using your data outside of the UK, is absolutely free within the EU. The same applies in India but with a 30GB limit if you’re on an unlimited plan.

If you want to use your data outside the EU and India, simply purchase an add-on or credit on your PAYG account. To find the add-ons and roaming rates available in different destinations, the Lebara website has a useful Roaming Rate Finder.

The way you activate your Lebara SIM depends on your phone: 
  • If you’re using a smartphone, simply place the Lebara SIM in your phone and turn it on.
  • If you’re using a feature phone, dial 5588. Your SIM will be activated when you hear an automated voice.

Can you keep your mobile phone number if you switch to a Lebara SIM only deal?
