Lebara Deals: UK Plans & SIM-only deals 2024

Lebara UK plans

Lebara deals tend to be SIM-only deals, all of which offer free international minutes from the UK to 42 countries. With inclusive international minutes, you won’t be paying over the odds when you phone family and friends abroad. Most budget-friendly providers, such as giffgaff, Talkmobile, Tesco Mobile, iD Mobile and Virgin Mobile, don’t offer international minutes, so you might find Lebara is the mobile network for you if this feature is important to you.

Lebara plans also offer more perks like their flexible, commitment-free 30-day SIM. This plan works similarly to pay-as-you-go, where you only pay for the allowances you use, because you decide when to top-up your credit next.

Lebara also offers a 12-month SIM contract with 10% off the price of its one-month SIM plans. If you opt for a 12-month contract, keep in mind it’s a long-term deal that you have to see through until the end. If you want to cancel mid-contract, you’ll most likely have to pay a cancellation fee. Another upside to Lebara deals is that they don’t run credit checks, so your credit history won’t affect your ability to get a SIM or a mobile phone with the provider. The only downside to Lebara’s cheapest SIM deal is that it comes with a limit on international calls and texts, but most deals do provide unlimited calls and unlimited texts within the UK.

12-month contracts

Compare Lebara’s 12-month SIM contracts

Lebara’s 12-month SIM contracts offer the same allowances as 30-day plans but are 10% cheaper. Here’s a look at the long-term SIM deals the provider is offering:

Inclusive international calling destinations

All the above SIM-only deals offer inclusive international minutes, with some plans offering more minutes than others. All Lebara UK plans, however, include inclusive calls to the following 42 destinations:

Roaming outside of these inclusive destinations is expensive because Lebara doesn’t offer an international roaming add-on. Instead, you’ll need to pay per call, text and MB of data you use. If you’re travelling to a non-EU country, you might want to contact Lebara before you depart to find out how much roaming there will set you back.

Pay-as-you-go SIM

Lebara Mobile doesn’t offer pay-as-you-go (PAYG) as such, as its standard 30-day plans operate in the same way as a PAYG SIM. You decide when to top-up your SIM credit next. This can be done in-store or online by following these three steps:

1. Choose where to top-up. Be aware that If you top-up online, you get double data.
2. Choose your plan.
3. Send an SMS with the opt-in code (R1-R8) to Lebara on 38885. You can find more information about opt-in codes on the provider’s website.

Here are your top-up options:

Lebara Mobile Phones

If you’re looking for a SIM-free phone at an affordable price, Lebara has you covered. All Lebara mobile phones are unlocked, and they aren’t bound to a pay-monthly contract in the same way other mobile networks do.

All the latest mobile phones are available through Lebara plans, including Apple iPhone and Samsung devices. The provider also offers OnePlus, Nokia, OPPO, Alcatel, Motorola and Google phones.

If you want to add an airtime plan to your Lebara mobile phone, you have the option to purchase a SIM-only deal alongside it, but the provider gives customers the freedom to join any provider they choose. You also get to choose how you pay for your SIM-free phone: you can pay for it in one full payment, or split the payment into three interest-free monthly instalments.

Network Coverage

Lebara is an MVNO that piggybacks off the Vodafone network. This means that Lebara customers get the exact same mobile phone coverage and data speeds as Vodafone customers do across its 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks in the United Kingdom.

4G coverage

Vodafone’s 4G network provides excellent coverage, with an impressive 99% population coverage across the UK. This is also the case with its 2G and 3G networks. Take a look at how Vodafone’s 4G coverage compares with other major UK network providers - EE, O2 and Three.

4G data speeds

Lebara customers will mainly be using Vodafone’s 4G network, with 5G still being rolled out and unavailable in many areas. Below you can find out about the 4G speeds you can hope to achieve with Vodafone and how these speeds compare to its rivals.

5G coverage

The Vodafone 5G network is available across 124 cities and towns in the UK, and is still being rolled out in new locations. Lebara Mobile offers 5G coverage in the same locations as Vodafone. Here’s how its 5G coverage compares to other mobile networks’ coverage:

5G data speeds

Vodafone 5G data speeds are at least five times faster than its 4G speeds. Here’s how it compares to Three, O2 and EE:
