Do Lebara deals rotate?

Keruge

I am finally dumping Sky Mobile.

I ordered 10GB MSE Exclusive Monthly Plan for £1.00 a month for 7 months then £4.90 but the sim did not arrive despite numerous phone calls to Lebara.

They then said they would sent me one within 24 hours but that did not arrive.

A day later they cancelled the plan and refunded me my initial payment of £1.

It seems pointless to argue with Lebara as they make all kinds of promises but don't do what they say they are going to do.

Still I want to try again but that deal is no longer around, the current deal is a lot more as a percentage at £1.75 a month & £5.90 a month thereafter.

Given that I am unlikely to cancel and hardly use any data I should probably go for lowest price I can get with the longest number of months for the lower headline price.

This deal expires at midnight tomorrow, so my question is do Lebara rotate the offers and will the £4.90 deal likely be back on 3rd Feb 2026 or an even better deal.

I have managed on 2gb deal with Sky but they have truly shafted me on another part of the contract and they now want to increase by £3 a month.

So I am leaving now no matter what, I don't care who I move to, just anyone other than Sky who is cheap.

Does anyone else think that the mergers of mobile phone companies is a factor here?

Presumably lebara will 'read' the market and set what they consider to be an affordable offer.

I wouldn't be surprised if the vodafone 3 merger does squeeze mvnos, as it cuts down on their negotiating power. For those currently using vodafone or 3 they might find their network access limited in future as vodafone and 3 integrate their networks.

thanks for your reply but I do not was to presume or assume, I am after info from people that know what goes on with MSE offers.

You are probably right, voda3 would seem to be out of frying pan into fire.

Long story short: I see MSE having a Lebara offer 6x 1.85 after 4.90 (valid until 12/2/26)
Little trick, if you select eSIM and say you have an iPhone Air, then you have the sim immediately in "your hands" Activate and use it.

I have had several number porting cases from O2/Vodafone/Sky to Lebara and apart from perhaps 1-2 hours on the day of porting, and some resets on the day, I never experienced any issue.

I have been able to determine that prices DO rotate, not necessarily the same but they are much the same in terms of price with a variance of just 45p for the contract data I was choosing.

Data from all deals between 01 November 2025 and 01 Feb 2026 show average prices have increased in this period.

The terms of how many months at the lower amount will vary from month to month but the 12 month price is within a range of £1.40 regardless of the data plan selected.

It seems to me that the key thing is to not be swayed by data you do not need, for a set and forget option choose the deal with the best price after the initial discount is applied.

On the other hand if you want the lowest price and do not mind swapping in and out then the best deal is going to be the one with the longest initial offer, e.g. a nine month deal where you leave in month 8 and come back to Lebara.

I think if you have enough self discipline to change every 6 months then trying to line it up to dates you will remember makes sense, or just set a reminder a month or so early.

Ironically, Sky had the lowest MSE deal at £2 but I have no details on that offer except that MSE said it had 1gb not sure which was true.

For my money Lebara is adequate for my needs, 5gb is way more than I had before.

I have another SIM which will go to Spasu for a month and then I will probably get a second Lebara with even lower price as I only use that for security purposes.

Thanks, that is REALLY useful tip about Iphone Air, although would they still send a SIM?

I went for this offer

I noticed that they had one a month longer at same initial price for 10gb and £5.90 thereafter but I only have 2GB now and never use that, it is basically my satnav allowance for Waze/GoogleMaps.

If you select eSIM they won't send you a physical SIM, but you'd have found that out by now.

For all other phones, they send a SIM, as their eSIM process is in a sort of trial face.
