Sim Free

Options
Hi
I have a Lebara sim free account which I set up through the MM site over a year ago on a monthly rolling contract. £5.90/month 5GB
Lebara have better deals now with more data through the MM site, is it possible to switch to one of these? do I need to cancel the existing sim and then port my number to the new deal. If you go direct to Lebara the deals are not as good

Thanks

    You need to port out to another provider then straight back....Asda mobile seem to be the one that a lot of people used for the recent 12gb £2 a month for 6 months deal

    No, you don't (to answer the OP's question who doesn't mention the limited time promotions).

    Simply add the new plan to your existing sim and (if you have a recurring payment deactivate it for the old plan). The new plan starts immediately so do it near your monthly renewal date if you don't want to pay twice for the month (though you do get both allowances for that time period).

    Just make sure you're logged in and click the buy now.

    Heres a link to all their special offer plans:

    Yes she/he does if they want one of the £2 a month for 6 month 12gb plans 
  • Thanks grandadgolfer and d123 for your comments.

    I take understand the discounted £2 for 6 months and having to move to another provider port my number and then move back to Lebara will work but was unaware I could shift a new plan to an existing sim which saved a lot of hassle

    decision time I think !!!!

    cheers
