FAQ

If you have activated your SIM PIN code and then enter the wrong PIN code into your Lyca Mobile three times your SIM card will automatically lock. In this case you must enter your PUK code.

Your PUK code is displayed on the SIM card holder that came in your starter pack. Please retain it for safe keeping.

If not please call our Customer Services team on 43 00 12 32 and they will be happy to help you.

When you receive a text from a company you have not given your number to, this is called SPAM. Unfortunately, Lyca Mobile is unable to prevent you from receiving these unwanted messages, unless you want to ban all text messaging. These companies have sophisticated ways of obtaining mobile phone numbers. One way to avoid SPAM is to be careful about what sites you give your mobile number to.

The flashing envelope indicates your text memory is full. This will usually prevent you from receiving more text messages until you have deleted a few old ones. You can delete messages from the Inbox, Sent or Draft folders to free-up some storage space. The number of messages you can store will vary from one handset to another.

When it comes to making international calls, Lyca Mobile works in the same way as other mobiles or fixed line phones. Simply dial the number you need: 00 followed by your country code, then your area code and then the phone number and press the dialler button. Instead of a 00 you can also use a “+”.

Please note that most premium voice and text services in other countries can not be reached from a mobile phone service when calling from outside that country.
