Lebara Quey

GeanBear

Does Lebara still only use the Vodafone network? I seen that Vodafone and Three have merged and can use each others networks so does this apply to Lebara?

I think the answer is, eventually.

Yes it does

I wouldn't be so sure. It depends what the MVNO has agreed - as far as I am aware Lebara only uses Vodafone at the moment. If you believe the rumours the plan long term is to switch everyone from Vodafone to EE when the everyone is on Lebaras new IMS core.

Not long left EE for Lebara due to their prices increases on the cheaper plans being a fairly high percentage.
Not a huge amount but with several accounts it adds up.

I will have to keep my eye on this one, I have noticed our phone batteries not lasting as long on Lebara compared
to EE which triggered a distant memory when we were with Vodafone for mobiles many years back. The signal
suddenly dropped in the area, they said a mast was faulty but even after the fix the same signal strength never
returned.

Just checked and we appear to be a weak signal spot which seems strange because there is nothing between
us and those with a good indoor signal.

Even the same make & model of phone can have differing performance, let alone interference from devices in the house, foil backed insulation etc.

Having recently ported two numbers to Lebara I didn't know about the possible switch to EE. Will be mightily !!!!!! if it happens soon. For me Vodafone is by far and away the best network at my normal place of work and I don't fancy losing that.

I think you have misread the article. Vodafone and Three are merging networks (eventually) but it could take years for a full implementation. EE have got nothing to do with this merger.

That comment is not about the Vodafone / Three merger but the rumour that Lebara will be switching to the EE network once their IMS core is fully rolled out.
