Activating a Lebara Roaming Package from outside the UK

outwood1

Hi
We're travelling next year to 3 countries. In the first we're given a mifi gadget so won't need roaming. After that we'd like to buy a Lebara roaming package for each country. I've previously done this before we leave the UK but obviously we won't need them to be live till we reach the 2nd and then 3rd country (both are places where we can buy a roaming pack). I can't find any answers on how feasible this is to do,  so hoping someone here has been able to do this and can tell me how easy it was ( or not).

We'd prefer not to buy a local SIM so we can keep the same UK number. If its not possible I may look into moving providers but Lebara/ Vodafone has the best reception for us.

Thanks

Does you phone have option for a e-sim?

Unfortunately not. Has a dual sim but as I said I'd prefer not to.

How much is the roaming pack? It's not the most MSE, but if you want certainty buying and activating before you go should give you what you want.

Last year when on holiday in Cyprus, I used all my data (watching football! 🤭) so I simply went on the Lebara app on my phone and added another X of data, think I cost me a fiver .... simples.

I can't activate it before I go as I don't need it for my first destination. Which is why I doubt I'll be able to buy a pack after 2 weeks away.  The I fo i line is all about activate before you go.

I realise its not the cheapest but its very easy, normally. I guess I was hoping someone had done something similar! 

So its either buy a sim at the airport or risk trying once we're in country 2 and again cou try 3!
