There have been pushed at Paddington Station over the last few months.
Has anyone used these services? Are they rip-offs? What are the
connections like? What are the Customer Services like? Having just
been ripped off £6 for a mere 20 minute call using a Three mobile to
BT landline no. I am very leary of mobile charges. CJB.

Found these desparaging comments about Lyca:

http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2008/09/30/lycamobile-payg-sim-card-for-low-cost-domestic-and-international-calls/

Also tried to order two SIM cards but the website defeated me ...

The page at

https://lycamobileeshop.co.uk/web/WebFreeSimRegUK.aspx

would not allow me to add my flat address correctly. My post code is
XY3 5AB (not really) and this lists about 5 versions of:

311,High Street
311,High Street
311,High Street
311,High Street
311,High Street

for a block of 36 flats!!!

And the system insisted that I choose one of these - but not which
one??? In fact none of these are correct.

In a block of 36 flats it is essential to include the flat no. and the
name of the block - for obvious reasons. But the form would not allow
me to do that.

This simple 'bug' with sales web site appears indicative of the
Lycamobile service in general.

Let's see what Lebara offers.
