Do not be tempted by cheap Lycamobile deals - AVOID

I switched to Lyca last month without googling them first. Big mistake. Poor call quality. Several people getting number unavailable when calling me. Slow to make outbound calls.Took several texts to get a PAC code. Thankfully I got my longtime number ported successfully over to Tesco.0

My aunt, who lives alone tried to use them, as her old contact was finishing and they offered an esim which could be downloaded instantly rather than an expensive renewal cost for a few days while awaiting a physical SIM.
They sent a qr code to her phone to scan, which of course you can't scan with the same phone. Any QR code should just encode some info which they can send out as a string, but their customer service just said we they don't have that, she could send it to a second device. If she doesn't have a second device - well sorry we've given you an alternative , we're not going to do anymore.0 -
Have MSE stopped including Lyca on comparisons? Was looking to change that same aunt, and happened to notice it wasn't even an option.0
