Lebara SIM only deal ended - what to do?

ragamuffins

Six months ago I moved from Vodafone to Lebara on the MSE 99p deal, now the six months are up the contract has renewed at £7.09 per month. Does anyone know if it’s possible to move straight onto another MSE deal with Lebara, or do I have to move away to another provider (for a month?) and then port back to Lebara as a ‘new’ customer? 

A complication is that the only provider with any sort of signal where I live is Vodafone, so I’m limited to providers that use them as a carrier. 

Any advice welcomed, thank you!

You certainly have to 'port out' and back in again to get a new discounted deal, but not actually for a month, I don't think.

Could you try Voda PAYG?

@ragamuffins i've been thinking to switch to Lebara recently and was wondering the same thing (currently on PAYG with EE). My plan was to take a MSE 6 month deal and in month 7 switch to the next MSE deal but i can't seem to find any info on the topic i.e. if that's allowed. 
If anyone out there can shed some light that would be much appreciated.

If you want to keep your number, then you have to 'port out' to another provider for a brief period, then you can port back.

If your number is not important, just go for it.

I have a dual sim phone and what I did for a while was to keep my main number in sim1 and put Lebara in sim2, then, once the 6 months was up, bin the Lebara sim and simply get another.
