What is a SIM-only deal?

A SIM-only deal is a mobile phone plan that offers a SIM card and a package of texts, minutes and data, but does not come with a handset.

If you are choosing a SIM-only deal, you will need to buy your phone separately or use your existing mobile.

SIM-only deals are available as both Pay Monthly and Pay As You Go plans.

All Lyca Mobile mobile plans are SIM-only deals, although we do also have handsets available to buy outright, or through payment plans.

Visit our Mobile Web Settings page to find out how to automatically set up mobile data on your phone. You'll need to know the brand and model of your device.

To enable Lyca Mobile 4G mobile data on an iPhone:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone 2. Tap Mobile Data 3. Select “Network Selection” or “Mobile Data Network” 4. Input your APN settings:

APN: data.lycamobile.co.uk Username: Password: MMS APN: data.lycamobile.co.uk

Once you've updated your APN settings, restart your iPhone and you'll be able to use 4G where it's available.

To enable 4G on Android, use the same APN settings as for iPhone.
