| Prepaid Mobile Review – LycaMobile (April 2012) |
|---|
| LycaMobile is still a relatively new player within the prepaid mobile market in Australia. Using the Telstra 2G network for their local calls I thought they would have received a lot more airplay since coming to Australia. Their focus has been convenience stores primarily, the same market as both gotalk Prepaid and Lebara Mobile. One thing I have noticed about Lyca Plans is that they have regular offers on their website. I have tried to keep up to date with these offers but they change very regularly (monthly basis and there is usually more than one) and our focus here is on the key pricing so that you don’t totally get sucked into an offer that may only last a few months. At 12c per minute and a 25c flagfall, the rates are great and being on the Telstra network, you can’t go wrong no matter where you live in Australia. Coupled with what I would assume are great international rates, Lyca is a real contender. Problem is that not enough people know about them. My attempts to ask questions via their helpdesk was average. They answered some and ignored others. In terms of call rates, they are competitive and credit lasts for 90 days. During April LycaMobile is also offering free 5MB of data each day (total of about 150MB for the month). They also offer free local calls for Lycamobile customers. Bare in mind this is a promotion and so may not last forever. Free calls between Lycamobile members is more likely to be a permanent offer. |
