We think Lyca Mobile's best value option on SIM only this January is their £10 a month plan below, which comes with 120GB data, plus unlimited minutes and texts on a 12‑month deal:

There's not currently a better SIM only deal on the market than Lyca's one above if you want 120GB data or more. Here's the closest their competitors get for similar plans:

If you wouldn't get through that much data, we think this 25GB is one of the best SIM only plans on Lyca Mobile too. It's on a 24‑month deal, comes with unlimited minutes and texts - all for £8 a month:

Lyca's is actually the best-priced SIM only deal in the UK at the moment for 25GB data or more. No other providers can beat it for monthly cost. Here's each network's nearest plan:

For a smaller chunk of monthly data, we also think this £4.25 Lyca Mobile SIM is one of their best options. It comes with 5GB data, unlimited minutes and texts on a 24‑month deal:

You can't actually currently beat Lyca's prices there for a SIM only deal with 5GB data or more on any other provider. Here are the closest alternatives each network is currently offering:

In our review of Lyca Mobile, we said we liked that they offer a great overall mix of coverage via EE’s network and full access to their 5G. That’s on top of a few other handy benefits:

Most of Lyca Mobile’s plans are sold as flexible 1-month deals, letting you switch plans each month as you need. You can compare prices against other networks using our comparison tool here.

Lyca tend to offer some of the lowest cost plans of all providers and are one of the cheapest ways onto EE’s network.

Their plans include different numbers of inclusive international minutes (from 0 to unlimited). International calls outside of that are also cheap. And they still offer inclusive roaming in these EU destinations.

You don’t need to pass a credit check to join any Lyca Mobile SIM only deal as these are paid for up front. So Lyca are a great choice if you’ve been rejected for an EE contract but still want to use their network.

If you’re switching from another network to Lyca you can keep your old number by requesting a PAC from your current provider and sending it to Lyca at any time. Here’s their guide on how to do this.
