Lebara - Best way of getting back onto a MSE deal?

TemmyTemjin

Hello,

I've been with Lebara quite a while, and I'm now on their standard pricing. MSE tells me they're doing cheaper packages for new customers. 

Is my best option to port away from Lebara to a different network, and then go back after a month, or are Lebara happy to move existing customers onto deals?

Thanks.

That's exactly what I'm doing at the moment. I'm porting to Smarty for a month on a £5 deal tomorrow then going back to Lebara in a few weeks.

That's the only way you can do what you need. I think I'm on my 4th iteration of leaving and rejoining now.

Ha. Just done the exact same - Smarty SIM on the way. Thanks.

I've done that a few times too, and it has been well worth it. I switched to Talk Home Mobile which were OK for a month if you don't need roaming.

But now, from 1st July 2025, it looks like there are no more Lebara deals - let's hope the MSE crew can negotiate another batch of them as they were extremely good value.

@kjr_2 There are lots of Lebara deals available on MSE and Uswitch:

I have two Lebara sims, one is for my daughter. We’re both on standard pricing. Could anyone tell me if I would need to use a new email address when porting back to Lebara? Thanks.

Do you use the same details each time (like same email address)? thanks
