Can I get a Lebara SIM if I have a bad credit rating?

Yes, you are likely to be accepted for a Lebara SIM even if you have a bad credit rating.

Lebara are one of the few networks who do not carry out credit checks for their long term contracts, including 12 month and 30 day plans.

Lebara 30 day SIMs

As well as long term contracts, Lebara also offer 30 day SIMs, which can be cancelled or changed at any time you wish.

All 30 day SIMs include 5G and free EU roaming, ranging from 3GB to unlimited data. You’ll also get at least 100 international minutes to 42 countries.

Do I need to unlock my phone to use a Lebara SIM?

If you bought your phone from Lebara, or it originally came with a Lebara SIM, then you shouldn’t need to unlock your phone in order to use a Lebara SIM.

Since December 2021, it is illegal for any network to sell a mobile phone that is locked to a specific network.

If you bought your phone before this date, it may be locked to your current network. If you’re unsure if your phone is unlocked, simply insert a SIM from a different network - if your phone is locked, an error message will be shown.

All providers must unlock your phone for free. You will need to contact your current network to do this. They will ask for your IMEI number, which you can obtain by dialling *#06# from your phone.

What size SIM cards can I get with Lebara?

Lebara offer all SIM card sizes. You will be sent a standard SIM card size, which will have cutouts that can be broken down to a micro SIM or nano SIM.

1. Standard - the largest SIM card size, which is generally used with older non-smartphones. Newer phones are likely to use micro or nano SIMs.

2. Micro - Once considered a smaller replacement for standard SIMs, micro SIMs are less prevalent today, being replaced by the even smaller nano SIM. Older smartphones or budget phones may still use a micro SIM.

3. Nano - The smallest and most common SIM card size used in phones sold today. Used by the newer iPhones and Samsungs.

Can I switch from my current network to a Lebara SIM?

Yes, it’s easy to switch to Lebara. From your current network, text PAC to 65075 for free. You will receive a reply text within 5 minutes, which will contain your PAC code.

You will need to give this PAC code to Lebara. You can do this at the time of purchase, or by contacting Lebara after you have received your Lebara SIM card.

After you have given your PAC code to Lebara, they will begin the switch on your behalf, which normally takes 3 working days. Once the switch has completed, you will lose signal with your current network. When this happens, you can insert your Lebara SIM to complete the switching process.
