What is it?

Lyca Mobile is a UK-headquartered MVNO group operating in 20+ markets worldwide. The German subsidiary runs on the Telefónica/O2 network with 5G access, serving migrant and diaspora customers with international calling rates.

The verified prepaid ladder uses 28-day billing cycles. The entry tier is Lyca Easy XS at EUR 4.99 for 5 GB; the higher Hero Net Flat tier delivers 20 GB at EUR 19.99 with international minutes bundled in.

Lyca's commercial niche is the Western Balkans - Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia. Its rate card to these destinations has historically been tighter than Lebara's. For users with family or business in ex-Yugoslavia, Lyca is the natural pick.

Lyca also runs prepaid retail through kiosks and ethnic supermarkets in major German cities (Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg), making it easy to top up at neighbourhood points-of-sale.
