Lebara MSE blagged SIMs

mjmoore0

I've just got a couple of new SIMs following the link on the MSE page for the blagged SIMs with Lebara.

It said that the SIM was a one month SIM but for months 1-6 was 99p. 

I've just tripped the first month on the first SIM and it now says I'm out of plan and only offering a £5 a month deal.

But on the second SIM page, which is still in the first month, there is nothing obvious to extend it at the cheap rate for 6 months.

Does anyone know how to extend the MSE rate for the 6 months?

TIA

I went through Uswitch, when I log onto my account, under ' my plans ' auto renew was switched on by default. I've never topped up , they use my debit card.
Underneath that is auto top up which is switched off, hope this helps
Edit I logged on with a pc not the app

It should like this when you log in to the Lebara website. You did leave auto-renew enabled, I hope? 

(Ignore the 85p instead of 99p, this is an older offer).

Hi, have you been able to use data. make calls or text using your sim? Mine (back in jan) sent the first text but then the plan didn't activate, after emailing them then responding to their reply by telling them the same info I put in the first email, they activated the plan and it has been fine since.

Once it is running don't touch anything! It will autorenew at the offer price (a discount is applied to the renewal cost) until the sixth month (your November renewal will be full price). If you turn off auto renew you lose the offer.

I'd only looked on the app, so assumed it was fine. Silly me I know!!

Been on the website and made sure the auto renew is ticked, so should be OK now, thanks for screen shooting so I know what I'm looking for!

Just need to get another sim card and to then try and PAC code again!!

It's been great to be fair, other than this with the auto renew! I've got my main phone with O2, but the signal at home isn't great, but Vodafone is good here but naff elsewhere.

Having a dual sim phone on different networks means I've now not been without a signal.

It also means you can use a number for online shopping that you'll never use else wise so you can tell when it's not worth answering!!

Has anyone tried ordering multiple sims via this deal ... it only lets you order 1 sim per email address.  I checked with Lebara support and they confirmed.  So, for our family of 4 I'll need to create 4 email addresses to use ... bit of a pain, but worth it for the deal

But otherwise yes, one introductory offer per email address. Nothing to stop you having four sims on one email account but only one will qualify for a new customer offer.

Not true - I have multiple Lebara 3GB/5GB sims on one account and they are all still in their introductory 6 months reduced rate.  I use them in the car and for tablets - when the six month rate is up I just delink it and order another one.  You should be able to order up to four sims though you may need to order them individually.

How do you get them to send multiple sims with the same email address? Most of us have found the order doesn't complete if the email address is in their system.
