    Bit of a disaster on this one... I applied for the attached offer on Black Friday. 
    I then went away Sunday til Today - so was expecting to see a SIM had been delivered.
    However, there wasnt one...

    So i contacted Lebara who have said, despite there being an order number, the order didnt go through... not authorised by my bank apparently...

    They are unwilling to honour the deal, as they say its a 3rd party offer.

    Any advice please on how i can get a better deal..... AGAIN !



    The same plan is a bit dearer for months 1-8 but it's still excellent value.

    Months 1-8 £4.40/mth Thereafter £6.90/mth
    It's not bad! But it wasn't as good as the Black Friday deal....
    But now actually it is giving a £25 gift voucher for new customers... so turned out well enough!

    Ahh, I presumed the gift voucher was included with the previous deal.

    Ah right. No it wasn't. So this is a good option for me.

    Check if the signal is good with VodafoneThree in your area as Lebara use them and I have had a lot of cut outs recently. Not sure if it's due to the merger or not. Alternatively, O2 are doing £7.50 a month for 12 months £20 TopCashback for 40GB and unlimited mins and texts plus EU roaming up to 25GB out of your allowance.

    Don't forget that O2 will increase their rates by £2.50 in April
