Hello

I´ve been lately in France for a few days and got a sms saying that calls would be charged at 12cent/min.

It worked pretty well, both to receive calls in my Spanish number (on some occasions first receiving call was useless and voice was not heard at all ) and make a few calls within France (to lebara btw to try to make the lebara sim work again*). Didn´t try data.

*My lebara.fr sim card stop working before my trip to France. I contacted customer service and they were very supportive sending me a new sim card.
Unfortunately the new card was useless and customer service couldn´t help me. Finally they wrote me an e-mail informing that my sim card had been cancelled due to non-compliance (couldn´t make/receive phone calls).

Strangely my lebara account is still active but following information appears now (I left France on the 04th October and it seems it was "somehow reactivated" on the 09th October??)

You seem to have confused threads as this is the toggle mobile thread not Lebara!

Hello Inquisitor,

the first part refers to toogle mobile.

I´ve been lately in France for a few days and got a sms saying that calls would be charged at 12cent/min.

for me toggle worked fine the last days, used it extensively for calls and data in spain and also now in germany as some stupid guy accidentally cancelled my office vodafone sim.
this was the first time i used the data packages from toggle, 1 GB for 20 GBP is not the cheapest but they charge by kb, data rate is very good and i am able to use it in several countries in a row.

Also no issues at my end. Worked propper in Switzerland and also roaming in Austria...

Hello,

can anyone confirm that receiving calls in Portugal is free of charge?
According to the website only the 12 Toogle countries are mentioned to have free incoming calls.

BTW, I´ve got a togglemobile NL number.

Thank you.

Regards

Yes, it's free.

For the records: toggle through its Dutch Vodafone IMSI ("Roaming") roams on AeroMobie (901-14) and outbound SMS are charged with 63p. Given that Lufthansa bars voice calls I couldn't test such. Despite the onboard cell's limitation to GPRS and the resulting modest throughput the fear of instantly burning my remaining credit prevented me from testing data.

Seems like Lycamobile is now offering better roaming packs with Lycamobile than on Toggle. At least in Germany and Spain they seem to offer bundles that can be used in own country as well as in 16 other countries where Lycamobile is active (incl. US and Australia). In Spain a pack with 400 minutes, 400 SMS and 2 GB data apparently usable in all 17 countries and valid 30 days is 40 or 20 euros. Toggle offers for about the same price (the higher one of the two) only 1 GB with no minutes and no texts. However from the description on their web page I was not able to understand, what exactly these bundles include.

While Toggle bundles only work in 13 Toggle countries (I assume the identity for that country has to be present on the SIM), Lycamobile offers 17 countries.

Lyca Germany (in German):

Lyca Spain (in Spanish):

Lyca commented in a forum that their roaming offers 4G access in the US, UK, the Netherlands and Switzerland even though the SIM is not enabled for 4G in it's home country. I have not yet seen any user confirmation whether this is true.
