How Is Lebara UK?

lizzie1955 · **How Is Lebara UK? -** 29-12-2011, 21:48

I'm thinking of using Lebara UK for my upcoming trip to London. Any feedback would be appreciated. I want to be sure I'll have reliable internet as well as voice. I use an unlocked, European Nokia E71.

I usually give visitors from overseas a Lebara sim to use when visiting the UK due to their reasonable international and national calling rates. Haven't tried mobile internet, Lebara use the Vodafone network so coverage and reliability shouldn't be a problem.

The free data allowance of 10MB per day sounds pretty interesting. Is this dependant on any condition to be met (such as regular topups)?

The 10MB free daily internet allowance is only valid until 29th Feb 2012, after that it will be 50p / day for up to 10MB then 15p / MB after that.

I'll be in and out of the UK before Feb 29 so will meet the deadline.

I was given a lebara UK sim card to try out....I did discover that unlike most of the other UK sim cards, you cannot call a USA toll free number from the UK (note..I understand that calls to US toll free numbers are not toll free if dialed from outside the United States and that I will be charged international call rates and that if I wish not to be charged, I should hang up before the call is completed; at least that's what the voicde says when I call a US toll free number but the call is completed and I pay the 5p or whatever it is per minute....but on ZLebara the calls do not go through at all. A deficiency in their rates.
