What’s a prepaid phone plan and how does it work?
A prepaid phone plan is a mobile service that you pay for upfront before you use it. With Lyca Mobile prepaid plans, you get generous data inclusions, unlimited standard national calls and texts, and plenty of international minutes to selected destinations. Plus, you can choose to connect using a physical SIM or an eSIM, making activation faster and easier—no waiting for a SIM card to arrive. Simply purchase, activate your eSIM instantly, and start using your service.
What’s the difference between prepaid and postpaid plans?
The key difference is when you pay. Prepaid plans require upfront payment—once purchased, you can use your allocated data, calls and SMS until the expiry period. Postpaid plans are billed monthly after you use the service. With Lyca Mobile prepaid plans, you get flexibility, no credit checks, no long-term lock-in, and the convenience of instant activation via eSIM—perfect if you’re switching, travelling, or want to avoid delays waiting for a SIM card.
Are prepaid phone plans a good idea?
Absolutely! Prepaid phone plans are a smart choice because you are always in control. You pay upfront so there are no unexpected charges or bill shocks. With Lyca Mobile you can activate instantly using eSIM, track your usage easily, and recharge when it suits you. It's flexible, secure, and perfect for budgeting.
Do Plans have expiry dates?
Most of our plans expire after 28 days. The length of a respective plan will be written alongside it.
