The day of Valentine's hits hard when you are in Australia, and the person you love isn’t in the same postcode, forget about being in the same room. Messaging and keeping in touch across time zones instead of morning breakfasts, late-night calls after a long day of work, and sharing a screen instead of sharing a couch. Love stories come in all forms, but the one that is anchored by data and phone is the long-distance one.
Lyca Mobile understands the weight of not being able to share moments and experiences and has two plans that can help you sail smoothly, not only on Valentine’s Day but every day.
Lyca Mobile, the Superhero Saving Long Distance Love Stories
The worst third wheel in a long-distance relationship is a weak plan, calls dropping mid, “I love you”, video freezing during your surprise, or a terrifying bill at the end of the month. A real Valentine’s plan is high data, strong calling options, and pricing that doesn’t borrow from your budget for Valentine’s Day gift.
| Plan name | Offer Price | Data allowance & rollover | International Calling and Texts | Other features |
| Unlimited Plan S | $10.00 | 80GB per 28 days, data rollover up to 500GB | Unlimited calling to 35 countries, extra minutes with 6 additional countries | Unlimited talk & text across Australia, renews automatically every 28 days, 5G ready |
| Medium | $110.00 (for 12 renewals) | 200GB total, kicked off with 17GB every 30 days, rollover up to 500GB | International calling to 35 countries | Unlimited talk & text across Australia, renews automatically every 360 days, first renewal included with eSIM |
Please note: Read the fine print of the plan before buying it
Medium 200GB (12 renewals) is for couples who want a full year of predictable connection, and Unlimited Plan S for those who live on constant calls and heavy data bursts.
Now that you have got the mobile plan anchored well, it is time to choose how you will spend your Valentine’s Day!
Here are some ideas perfect for long-distance couples that are not only about long chats but might keep you both engaged, communicating, sharing, and making your love stronger.
- Spend a day with me:
The idea is to live with each other, not only through the video call, but through sharing thoughts and feelings that you might think are very unnecessary but will build a new level of intimacy. Here’s how you can do it, starting with morning check-in, share short clips and images throughout the day for eg: ‘This is the coffee place, hate the coffee but love the people, so I start my day here’ or ‘this is the train I get in everyday, this is the old woman I notice every time, she is always busy sketching in her book. I would love to speak to her someday and check her art.’
- Cook-off
Food is always one of the best languages of love, plan to cook a meal together, same meal, same time, on a video call. And once done, have a beautiful digital dinner date.
Both the plans Unlimited Plan S and Medium allow you to do this seamlessly.
- ‘I am yours and so is all my time.’
This is a 3-part idea:
- Take a walk with a video call around both of your neighborhoods and share everything you like, and who the people you see every day are.
- Workout together while sharing your playlists. Workout playlists are more intimate than romantic ones. (If you don’t work out, you can still spend time sharing your most personal favorites)
- A long, no rush, video or audio call, this is perfect with both the plans, as the plans have international minutes
These are a few ideas that can create depth and a level of intimacy in your long-distance relationship that will bring you both closer than ever. Long-distance relationships with the right kind of mobile plan are something that makes it special and stable.
Give More Than Gifts: Give Time, Face Time, and Messages
Valentine’s Day is all about flowers, chocolates, expensive gifts, date night, and more. But for long-distance couples, it is about seeing each other enough, making sure that one gossip or a joke is shared. It is also about sharing sunsets, late-night calls when you miss each other, and ‘I want you to be the first person I see as soon as I wake up’.
If you’re far from your person this Valentine’s Day, make sure the one thing that never creates distance is your connection. Pick a plan that can handle all the calls, messages, memes, and “I miss you” moments.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
