Is Spusu the Cheapest SIM for 1m break from Lebara - any issues

I have read on here that in order to take advantage of newer Lebara deals like 80p a month for 9 months, I need to leave and come back.

Is the Spusu £2.90 MSE deal the best and cheapest choice for this?

Has anyone done this?

What are the timings?

It seems to me that it is going to be hard to avoid paying for 2 months as Spasu because Lebara will not want me back for a month, or so I have heard.

    We've just done this with my son's sim and he was on Spusu for the grand total of 10 days. 

    I've switched away and back to Lebara several times now and never had an issue so not aware of any two month limit being applied

    Got a link? Only Talk Home deals I could see are a min of £5. And the cashback is irrelevant if the SIM were only in use for a week or so.

    No link.
    Assuming you are topcashback user.
    You need to log in TCB and go to 
    Compare quote > Mobile > Get a Quote > 1 month SIM (at the bottom left)

    Cashback is relevant. I signed up a lebara £1.49 plan through for 1 months for 1 week europe holiday.
    I did not continue the SIM after the trip, it reward me £13 couple of months later. I didn't expect that and obviously we should not abuse the system...
  • I have just switched to Sposu, esim didn’t want to work after installing, thought here we go, rubbish customer service….. BUT my call was answered after 2 rings, nice chap. (English was his first language) said oh ok just a tick, and within literally 3 seconds I was up and running. My gasted has never been so flabbered.
    did an polls check and yep, all up and running at 56 down and 46 up.
    So, yes Spusu is good and does everything they say, I chose the 1g option as it’s on my IPad and I mainly use it networked.
    Time will tell but for me, excellent customer service and the SIM works amazingly well for less than £3 a month, bonus
