INFORMATION SUMMARY – EFFECTIVE FROM 8 June 2018

Prepaid plans for national and international calls, SMS and mobile data

Information about the service:

Lyca Mobile’s prepaid mobile service allows you to make and receive calls, send and receive SMS and access mobile data.

We only offer prepaid plans, so you have no minimum commitment period and you don’t have to take any other services from us.

The default service is Pay As You Go account, where you top-up and only pay for what you use. Alternatively, you can use credit in your Lyca Mobile to pay for a plan where you get an allowance of minutes, texts and data to use in a month (30 days).

Monthly plan allowances expire at midnight 30 days from the day of purchase – which is counted as the first day – and are renewed for another 30 days if you have sufficient credit in your Lyca Mobile account to pay for the next month. You may choose to rollover your unused data allowance into the next 30-day validity period before your bundle expires

If you don’t have enough credit in your Lyca Mobile account to pay for the plan for the next month, your account will by default go to our Pay As You Go service for voice and SMS. Data won’t work unless you opt-in for Pay As You Go data usage – to do this, send ‘DATAIN’ to 2525 (free of charge). Once you send the text, you will receive a confirmation message stating ‘Your tariff plan change request has been successful’. Once this is confirmed, you can use data on with Pay As You Go. You must do this every time you revert to Pay As You Go.

If you have a monthly plan, we will notify you when you have used 50%, 80% and 100% of your data allowance.

You can move back to Pay As You Go from your monthly plan online via ‘Quick Recharge’ or ‘My Lyca Mobile’, or by calling Customer Services. You will only be eligible for a refund if you have not used any of your plan’s allowance, and you will lose any remaining plan allowances.

If you have a plan, you can carry forward your unused data allowance for the next month if you text ‘ROLLOVER’ to 2255 before the bundle expiry. We will send a confirmation SMS once the data has rolled over. Customer can purchase the bundle using USSD Dial *139*1029# and follow the instructions on the screen or SMS 1029 to 3535.

For Bundle balance and account info, please dial *133# and follow the instructions or sign into your Lyca Mobile account.
