Lyca Mobile US sells prepaid, no-contract SIM and eSIM plans. The official plans page groups them by how much high-speed data you get each 30 days, and every plan we checked included unlimited nationwide talk and text plus unlimited international talk and text to 100 countries. The decision is less about whether you can call and more about how much data you use, whether you need hotspot capacity, and whether a promotional price is the one that will renew next month.
This guide is based on the official US site and the “best prepaid phone plans” page, checked on 10 November 2026. Displayed prices can be promotional. Confirm the current figure and the renewal price on the plan page before you pay.
No contract, and what that does not mean
A FAQ on the plans page says you do not have to sign a contract to use the prepaid service, and that Lyca Mobile prefers customers to have “freedom and flexibility” without commitments. It still asks you to read the terms and conditions. Prepaid means you pay in advance for a period — 30 days on the plans listed here — not that every extra, roaming charge or fair-use rule disappears.
Customer service is listed at 1-866-277-3221 (also written as 866 277 3221). The same number is given for help with swapping to a new SIM, group or multi-subscription porting, voicemail, and a forgotten PIN or PUK. The PUK also appears on the SIM card holder in the starter pack and in a registered My Lyca Mobile account.
To activate a SIM, the FAQ says to dial 622 and enter your ZIP code when prompted. To see your Lyca Mobile number after the SIM is inserted, it says to dial *613# or 97#. If the phone shows “blocked,” “barred,” “incorrect SIM” or “SP lock,” the FAQ says the handset may be locked to another network and that you should ask your current provider for the unlock code.
The 30-day plans as they were listed
On 10 November 2026 the official plans page listed these 30-day options. Several plan titles still include an older-looking dollar amount, while the page also shows a current 30-day price. We note both where they appeared.
| Plan label on the official page | Data shown | Displayed 30-day price | Extra notes shown on the page |
|---|---|---|---|
| $19 Unlimited International Plan | 5 GB at up to 5G speeds | 10 USD | Unlimited nationwide talk and text; unlimited international talk and text to 100 countries |
| $23 Unlimited International Plan | 8 GB at up to 5G speeds | 15 USD | The same talk and text features, plus $5 international roaming credit |
| $29 Unlimited International Plan | 15 GB at up to 5G speeds | 29 USD | The same talk and text features, plus $5 international roaming credit |
| $33 High Data Plan | 18 GB at up to 5G speeds | 7.50 USD | The same talk and text features; the low displayed price looks promotional next to the $33 label |
| $39 Unlimited International Plan | 25 GB at up to 5G speeds | 39 USD | The same talk and text features |
| Unlimited Plus | Unlimited data, with full-speed access for the first 50 GB | 18 USD | Unlimited talk and text, including international minutes and texts to 100 countries |
| Unlimited Pro | Unlimited data, with full-speed access for the first 50 GB | 29.50 USD | The same unlimited talk and text features |
The 18 GB plan’s displayed price of 7.50 USD is much lower than its $33 label. Treat that as a current promotional price unless the checkout says otherwise, and look for what you will be charged at renewal. The same caution applies to the 5 GB and 8 GB plans, whose titles and displayed prices did not match.
A homepage campaign image on the same date promoted a Diwali offer of “save up to 69% on select plans,” and mentioned high-speed data, hotspot, and unlimited talk and text nationwide and to 100 countries. An “up to” saving applies only to the plans it names. It is not a sitewide percentage off every line.
How to pick a data number without guessing
If you mostly use Wi-Fi and want a US number for calls and international family calls, the 5 GB or 8 GB plans are the ones to cost out — after you confirm the promotional versus renewal price. If you commute on mobile data or share the connection, jump to the 15 GB, 18 GB or 25 GB lines, or to the unlimited plans.
Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Pro both describe unlimited data with full-speed access for the first 50 GB. The difference you can see on the listing is price (18 USD versus 29.50 USD). Read the individual plan pages for hotspot allowances and any speed policy after that 50 GB, because those details decide whether “unlimited” matches how you work.
International calling to 100 countries is listed on all of the plans above. That is useful if the reason you want Lyca Mobile is calling family abroad. It does not automatically cover you while you are travelling in those countries. Only some plan descriptions mentioned a $5 international roaming credit. If roaming matters, read that line on the plan you are buying rather than assuming every plan includes it.
Activate, then keep the confirmation
Once you have chosen a plan, the practical steps on the official FAQ are straightforward: unlock the phone if it needs it, insert or download the SIM or eSIM, dial 622 with your ZIP code, and store the number you get from *613# or 97#. If you are moving several lines, call customer service about group porting instead of repeating a single-line process and hoping it scales.
Lyca Mobile is easiest to shop when you ignore the decorative plan names and look at three figures: the data amount, the price you will pay today, and the price the plan will renew at. The official US plans page shows the first two. The checkout and terms have to show the third.
