I cancelled my contract 6 months ago
I cancelled my contract 6 months ago! They are still trying to charge me even though I moved to a different country! Impossible to cancel through their customer service once you move to a different country. Honestly this company needs to be shut down. Worst worst worst experience ever. DO NOT USE THEM NO MATTER HOW CHEAP THEY SEEM. THEY WILL GET THEIR MONEY FROM YOU UNETHICALLY!!!!

Lyca mobile is a scam
Lyca mobile is a scam. I wish I could give them no star at all. It is the most awful experience I have ever had in Australia. Worst network and coverage. I bought a one-year plan. But did not have any coverage. I asked for a refund, and it has been over one week since I have been waiting for a refund while I must turn off my SIM card. Now, I do not have access to my number, as if I out port my number they would not do the refund. People, please avoid Lyca forever. I am constantly calling them but one costomer service person disconnected phone on me. They ask me to wait for three weeks, not using my number. They do that to force me to transfer my number so they do not have to refund. They are scam.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!! I tried to cancel my contract within the cooling-off period, but there was ZERO reply from them, and now they have been trying to charge me for the last three months despite MULTIPLE attempts to get them to cancel. Now I've just received a 'pre-legal' notice saying that my account has been passed on to debt collectors. What a disgusting excuse for a company.

Big waste of time and effort
TLDR: Don’t bother with Lycamobile, it’s a total pain in the neck!
Details: Had a terrible time trying to get one of Lycamobile’s eSIMs to work. Purchased from the website, went through the steps to activate it, scanned the QR code, and never received a mobile number. Also no email confirmation received from Lycamobile. Money was taken though! Spent over an hour on hold on their customer service line being told to use their AI chatbot, which didn’t know what I was talking about. Finally spoke to a real person, who couldn’t find the email address I had registered with, and could only suggest emailing for a refund. It’s only $6 (if something is too good to be true it probably is) but I’m concerned I’ve been roped into auto top up, so I’ll give it a go! Best avoid this company and go for a more reputable one.

‼️‼️ SCAM - AVOID AT ALL COSTS
I'm not sure how they're even legally allowed to do business in Australia. There's zero customer service. Like many others here, they took my money and ghosted. I can't activate my simcard even though all my documents are in date. No one ever answers the phone. No one ever comes onto the live chat. I've submitted a complaint to the Telecommunications Ombudsman.

SCAM ALERT!
SCAM ALERT!
Lyca Mobile Australia is a Complete Joke - DO NOT BUY!!
I regret ever giving Lyca Mobile Australia a cent. I bought a prepaid SIM earlier this month, and from the moment I tried to register, it's been nothing but a circus of incompetence. The app spits out the same useless ERROR every single time.
Their so-called "customer support" might as well not exist. I tried calling hours on hold, listening to fake apologies while no one ever answers. Emails? I sent multiple over a week ago and got absolutely nothing back. Their CHATBOT LIA is the cherry on top: a mindless, scripted loop that can't solve even the simplest issue.
It honestly feels like they take your money and vanish. The contrast with Lyca in Europe is embarrassing, over there, they actually care. They were quick and helpful. Here in Australia, it's like they don't even pretend. It's disappointing, and frankly infuriating to see a company run with this level of negligence. WHAT A JOKE!!
Lyca Mobile Australia is a waste of time, a waste of money, and a guaranteed source of stress. AVOID THEM!

Lycamobile Is a Scam – Dishonest, Dodgy, and Utterly Useless
Lycamobile is hands down the worst telecommunications company I’ve ever dealt with, and I strongly urge anyone considering them to look elsewhere. My experience was nothing short of infuriating and felt more like a scam than a legitimate service.
After running out of data, I attempted to top up and upgrade to a larger bundle through the Lycamobile app. But every time I tried, the app kept throwing up error messages and would not process the purchase. This all happened outside of Lycamobile’s so-called “customer service hours”, meaning I had no way of getting help.
Meanwhile, Lycamobile burned through my top-up credit automatically, charging me for tiny, useless amounts of data — without giving me a chance to apply the credit to the actual bundle I wanted. I essentially lost my money for nothing.
The next day, after being on hold for an absurd amount of time, I finally spoke to a rude and unhelpful customer service rep who simply said “bad luck”. No refund, no fix, and zero accountability.
The app is broken and unreliable, making it impossible to manage your account properly. It’s hard to believe this is an actual telecommunications company — everything about Lycamobile feels dodgy, disorganised, and deliberately misleading.
Their business model seems to rely on people giving up chasing small amounts of lost money. Their customer service is a complete disgrace, and their technical systems are not fit for purpose.
0/5 – Avoid this company at all costs. They are not just incompetent, they are dishonest.

been waiting for a refund for 29.80 € for over 9 weeks time
been waiting for a refund for 29.80€
for a overcharge ( been charged 3 times for 1 bundle)
I have contacted the customer service and what I received is the same automatic Email over and over again.
now in the last 2 weeks I'm getting responses that my bundle expired so we can't process the refund....some useless people are working there... I don't recommend to any new people to join this network as the sign is not working in a lot of places.( you will have to pay to join 5G and some networks are giving you 5G for free)
worse network ever

service not provided for two months, incompent customer service
My service mysteriously stopped working in mid January. I have been trying to contact Lycamobile since then---the only responses I have been getting are LLM slop from a completely incompetent customer service agent named Hassan Bellati. I still do not have service more than two months later.
Mein Dienst funktionierte Mitte Januar auf mysteriöse Weise nicht mehr. Seitdem versuche ich, Lycamobile zu kontaktieren – die einzigen Antworten, die ich bekomme, sind unsinniges Geschwätz von einem völlig inkompetenten Kundendienstmitarbeiter namens Hassan Bellati.
