Is it possible to be on one of these great sim only Lebara deals from MSE and jump to another one with Lebara via MSE if a better deal comes up? I'm guessing not, but thought I'd ask.

    You have to jump to another network sim in between if you want to keep the number.

    Thought so. Cheers.
  • I've definitely read somewhere that some of the Lebara deals are available to existing customers. I'm not 100% sure if this but I think the instructions where they if you have one of these deals when you buy it the app will ask you which one of your numbers/sims you wish to allocate it to. So you select that phone number on your app and it puts the new deal into one of your (or the only!) existing sim(s). This wasn't for all deals though, only ones that in the T&C said they were also got existing customers.

    It's the into reduced 6 month that make the deals work.

    Get a dual SIM phone and rate tart the second one without porting numbers.

    Get a good PAYG or RWG for the main number.

    Dragging this back up, sorry.
    I have a Lebara sim as the secondary sim in my phone (O2 in t'other)
    My 6 months 49p deal finished so I disabled the 'auto top up'
    Can I just bin this sim now and get another one?
    I see the price has gone up to 99p, but think I can splash out ... This offer says 'till Thurs 4th Jan' ... do we think there will be another deal??

    Auto topup and autorenew are quite different things. Disabling auto topup will not stop your deal renewing. Make sure aurorenew is set to off or to be completely sure pac the number to a junk sim.

    If you don't care about keeping the number then yes, that's fine. The old SIM will become inactive and get cancelled eventually if left unused. If you can't add the new deal SIM to your existing Lebara account, simply just order a new SIM on a new account :)
