"Lebara MasterCard® Prepaid Cards†"

it about to expire at the end of month 02/16

just trying to work out if it worth putting £7.50 on each card got secondard one for my sister but she never used it and i have not really used mine as much as i think i was going. A lot of online buying are using paypal now.

    I think in your case Pockit will be better. 99p for the card and 99p for an additional card for your sister. The fees on the Lebara card are prohibitive when compared with other prepaid cards. I use Pockit in preference to Paypal.
