Dear Madhu,
We are sorry to hear about your experience and understand how concerning this must be, especially regarding unexpected charges and difficulty obtaining a refund.
Lyca Mobile plans are set to auto-renew by default to prevent service interruptions. The card used for the initial purchase will also be used for future renewals. However, customers can modify the renewal settings at any time by logging into their Lyca Mobile account.
Regarding the refund not being received, we will investigate and get back to you. For further assistance, please email us at trustpilotreview@lycamobile.com

TitleNo Response for Over 7 Days – Cannot Make Calls
I have been trying to contact Lyca Mobile support since March 21 regarding a serious issue with my SIM card.
My Lyca number (partially hidden for privacy): +1 213****6889
While roaming in China, I can receive calls and SMS, but I cannot make any outgoing calls at all.
I have sent multiple emails and follow-ups, including a formal complaint, but I have only received automated replies with no real assistance.
This level of customer support is unacceptable. There has been no effort to resolve my issue or even provide a clear explanation.
I strongly advise others to be cautious when relying on Lyca Mobile for international roaming.
I expect Lyca Mobile to respond and address this issue immediately.

I tried to convert my physical Sim to esim
I tried to convert my physical SIM to an eSIM to use in a new phone, but they gave me a new phone number on my new phone. I am trying to get in touch with customer service to let me use my old phone number on my new phone with an eSIM option. I've been trying to talk to them, and they put me on hold for four hours every day for the last seven days, but they can't connect me to an agent. They say, "We will connect you in 3 to 7 minutes or 10 minutes," but they put me on hold for three or four hours until I fall asleep. Pay more money and get a better network than Lyca, who doesn't value your time. They should at least have an option where, because the line is longer, they will call you back when they are free. But they don't do that either. Worst network and worst customer service in my life. Ref# 111210112

Customer Support Is Effectively Absent
It is extremely difficult to reach customer support. I spent three days trying to get assistance, which is an unacceptable delay. When I finally connected with a representative, the support provided was ineffective and did not resolve my issue.

Disgusting service
Disgusting service. I just paid for $15 plan because my plan expired. I still cannot make calls. I tried getting help up but I couldn't get a hold of a human..the lia stupid robot doesn't help..keep going down I will find another service that treats their paying customers better.
Update : I am able to make calls now. Thank you. Changing the one star rating to 3 stars coz I am still unhappy the way I was treated. Please don't use AI agents to replace humans. What a human can do can never be done with AI.
March 27 2026 I called the customer care. One person "Azeez" verified me with otp and asked me personal details like DOB. Anothe person verified using email and that was it. Please confirm that the customer care needs access to my personal details and that they won't misuse it.

Absolutely carried me
Absolutely carried me. I am on a budget and saw a 8GB UNTL talk + txt for $5 and at first I thought, there must be a catch, so I took a breath and accepted defeat, but then, it actually worked. I broke my iPhone and have to use a backup phone, and activated it with lyca mobile. I'm even writing this review with lyca mobile right now. Lyca Mobile even provided fast speeds since it runs of the ATT network. Thank you lyca mobile, I will proceed to use your service.

Need Urgent Help (Regarding Previous Review)
Hi, I have already shared all my details via your trustpilot email as requested, but I have not received any response yet.
The callback number I provided belongs to my colleague, and they may be busy and most probably I could miss the call.
So I kindly request you to please check my email and share my account number and port-out PIN directly via email as soon as possible. I will be available on email at all times.
This is urgent, please assist as soon as possible. I have been behind this issue since almost 2 weeks and i am waiting for resolution. Please help me with it .
If you people cannot resolve such small issues and keep your customers waiting from 2 weeks then I really feel you guys are just a big scam company which does not even care for their customers. It is just Ridiculous.
Once again am saying Please send account no and port-out pin to my email ASAP thank you. If i dont get my information I will be forced to escalate this further through formal complaints starting Tuesday(24 March). I hope it will be resolved before that. Waiting for my account number and port out pin.

SCAM & FRAUDS
I hate this company! I hope you lose every customer you ripped off! 6 years of being a customer and you won’t even send me my account number all because your useless E-SIM UPGRADE! You just want to leave us hanging! My phone is unlocked and you lied and said the reason my phone is not taking the upgrade is because I owe on my phone! Really? So when I bought and paid for my iPhone and got a new esim From LYCAMOBILE last year how come it was successful? How come the mysterious balance didn’t reject that sim? LIARS‼️
Lie after lie! Delay after Delay! On hold for over an HOUR! Everytime you call on hold over an hour like customers have time for that! If you prefer a company who has turned into a FRAUD AND SCAM ARTIST network provider then come here! POOR. CUSTOMER SERVICE ‼️. A bunch of illiterates‼️
GO TO T-MOBILE AND THEY WILL FIX YOIR ISSUE IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTE! Leave this JOKE OF A CELL PHONE COMPANY IN THE TRASH BIN WHERE THEY BELONG‼️ USELESS‼️ You don’t even deserve 1 damn star! POS‼️. TRASH‼️ INCOMPETENCE TO THE HIGHEST ORDER‼️ REPORT THESE SCAM AMD FRAUD ARTIST TO THE BBB‼️ SHUT THEM DOWN‼️

Where the hell is the sim swap team
Where the hell is the sim swap team
I am stuck with endless loop of eSim swap from lycamobile.
First they sent me a text message to upgrade my sim. I upgraded, and ever since that my calls and text messages are not working. Whenever I call them they take 15-20 mins to answer. After that they put me into a sim swap team, which taken 2-3 hours hold and then gets disconnected. I asked for account number and pin to port out, they can give that only through text which I cant receive.
So in summary I have lost my number because of this joker company.
Issue is still not resolved as on 3/30, and they are not ready to give my account and pin to port out. Such a bad experience. 17 days without phone services, and still paying.
