LycaMobile Has been assigned my phone number to someone else without my acknowledgment.

How can Lyca customer service can assign our phone number to someone else?

MY LYCA number [protected] has been assigned to someone else WITHOUT my acknowledgment. It's biggest security threat with Lyca.

Lyca customer service has not been sorted the issue for more than a week after multiple chase up.

I am not able to receive any OTP from banks and installed apps.

It's serious impacting my work and privacy.

Wants to file a case on LYCA for the blunder mistake and my number is not with me for more than a week.

LycaMobile Refuse to refund my £25 as promised

I paid £25 to have a top up bundle to a Lyca Mobile number (Pay As You Go) on 9/4/2022, unfortunately that was a blocked number and couldn’t be used nor activated. I contacted customer service and in order to have that £25 refunded, I HAVE PAID FOR ANOTHER NUMBER PER THEIR REQUEST. They told me it would take 7 days to refund but it has now been 20 days and no money is refunded.

Follow-up email has been sent by me but no progress was made by Lyca Mobile. Terrible customer service. I request a refund simply because Lyca Mobile has failed to provide me with the service I paid for.

-on 27/4-

Lyca Mobile contacted me earlier today saying that they could NOT refund as promised and left me with no choice but to spend that £25 to BUY ANOTHER BUNDLE from them! Yes, the same strategy they used last time to make me buy another bundle! This is totally ridiculous and I am not going to fall for the same trap again!

During the conversation, I felt that Lyca Mobile was trying to tire me out by making me repeat every single detail again and again and explaining to them over and over, or providing them information that have already been provided. But I am not afraid of them and am not giving up because I am telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And when I asked them why I was given different stories from time to time, they simply told me they would investigate the reason why I was told that the amount could be refunded. See? I am so amazed at how Lyca Mobile also know that I was told so and how they are now trying so hard to take my £25 dishonestly.

And I will keep fighting for the refund of that £25 because nothing will change the fact that Lyca Mobile has failed to provide me with the service I paid for.

Desired outcome: Refund my £25 as promised

LycaMobile Unresponsive, uncaring, confused, absolutely incompetent customer "service".

I wanted to use this company for it's international calling plans. I purchased a sim card online, but was never sent an activation pin by e-mail. After 1 month of calling and exchanging numerous e-mails providing all information asked of me, to re-send the activation code, I was first given excuses as to why they couldn't process and blamed it on me. "You didn't prove this, you didn't provide that", when I had written proof that I had given all details of my purchase in pdf from my bank to prove I was the purchaser. Finally I was again told to wait until the end of the day, but no one ever resolved this very simple task. Then I was scheduled to receive a call from a manager, who never called. They give you the run around until you give up.

I requested a refund, followed by "we have accelerated your case to our backend office"! Their back-end office is indeed a "back-end" place! No one ever contacts you back, same redundant emails & lines they read from their screen prompts. It's really a great scam "service". So if you ever encounter fraudulent practices, go to your bank and asked them for help. Customer support in India isn't very empathic nor solution driven.

LycaMobile Support/ current package

Hi,

I have been trying to resolve an issue since March 1st. I was initially charged twice in March for my package. I then proceeded to check my lycamobile profile online. I turned off autotopup although it did not save my changes on the website. I then recieved a text stating the auto renew had been successfully turned off, despite it still showing as active online.

I then reached out via email to cs.lycamobile.es as recommended for support, that was 2nd March. Since then I have been asked for a form of identity document, of which I have provided both my NIE and a passport and I have still yet to recieve any reply or help. I have sent multiple emails asking for help or an update.

I then raised a complaint form and sent an email to [protected]@lycamobile.es as directed to try qnd get some form of resolution.

I have still yet to recieve any support or help. I have not been introduced to any agents or workers handling my case. My phone credit has disappeared despite debiting twice. My Data is not working and I am being ignored.

What I want:

1. The agents name who handled my case. I wish to make q formal complaint.

2. The managers name to make a formal complaint.

3. I want a full re-imbusrment of the 20 euros debited from my account on March (as I have had no service)

4. I want to completely cancel all my lycamobile package. Furthermore I want proof that you have removed and deleted all my personal information in relation to data protection and customer rights.

Desired outcome: 1. Someone to take ownership of this case and to respond and offer me a solution.2.Full refund of 20 euros for 2 charges.3. Cancel all packages I have and remove me as a customer.4. Remove all my information from lycamobile company database

LycaMobile Cellphone service

After 4 months of dropped calls very bad connections (though it was cheap to buy it was not worth anything) so I waited for it to end
I called lycamobile in order to port back to my previous provider
First call was to I believe india I could not understand that girl
Once again another girl I could not understand
The third one was a tad better but could not understand some of her requests
I waited 3 hours and called back I spoke to chris id no 30201 who refused to tell me what state he was in making believe he too was in india he stated he will try his best to assist me. He started off asking me with questions re certain numbers I explained that the info he was asking for was never given to me. He then asked me who have I been calling most that satisfied him then he wanted the sim card number I gave it to him
Then he asked me for the puk number I asked him what was that? He responded it is on the sim card which is not so as I had bought a new lycamobile service card for 36.00 and decided not to use it due to substandard service I opened up the lycamobile package to find what he was asking for the puk number is on the piece of cardboard that is of no consequence and is a throw away and has the same relevance as as the wrapper then he says you failed
Buy the way he started off asking why and what company I wanted to transfer to I responded that is unimportant

Desired outcome: i need my acc number and pin number so i can port my number

LycaMobile blocked simcard

No answer during months through CS mail, a clever operator could take a further step to solve my case then...nothing. Last weeks I've been contacting with chat line almost daily, sometimes it would take ages to make them understand mt case, where there's a Reference Number explaining it with full details. So their whole Costumer Service, except one chat operator seems just acting blindly and against their own company, since during months they ve lost my monthly bundle...

Desired outcome: simcard unblocked

LycaMobile deactivating sim for two months but charging me those two months for nothing

Good day have been registering my sim online as well as submitting a scanned registration form via online. Why is my sim deactivated for the last two months? You can not keep charging me the last two monthly fees for nothing! And you can not expect people to go to physical kiosk shops back and forth during Covid.
Thank you 

Desired outcome: Simply activate my simm please

LycaMobile Refusal to supply pac code

Request for PAC code made three times. Only response received is code sent by text to my Lycamobile number, no trace of this message. All follow up emails ignored.
Lycamobile account no. [protected]. Phone number [protected].

I have also asked for the above account to be closed, no response on this yet.
Reason to change of supplier from Lycamobile is their failure to continue automatic top up without warning. Only found out when tried to make a phone call. Manual top up showed success on screen, but money not added to account.

LycaMobile sim card

This is a fraud company which cheat the customers by saving the credit card details in their server and charging it without the customer knowledge. Their customer service never respond to the mail. There are lots of people complained already about this fraud but still they are doing it. How can in a developed country like France, this company is doing this scam? Why there is no legal action against these fraud company. I called their customer service number and after arguing for several minutes they agreed to refund the money in 48 hours but even after 1 week I didn't receive the money.

LycaMobile they are neither doing sim activation nor refund, stay away from 'lyca : the fraud company'

They are so WORST service providers, very CHEAP and RUDE. I must say they are CHEATERS too. I purchased new sim from lyca few days back. its been so long time, they have not yet activated my sim yet. They are not ready to refund my money also. They are the FRAUDS. I DON'T RECOMMEND LYCA TO ANYONE. Please don't go for these worst people service. They simply cheat you by eating your money and time. They might have eaten many people money in this way, that's why they might be giving service for less price. YOU WILL NOT GET ANY SOLUTION FOR YOUR ISSUE FROM THESE FRAUDS. STAY AWAY from them

LycaMobile unauthorised credit card charges

I have had my phone stolen on the 16 of October 2018, I wrote multiple emails to lycamobile to cancel my imei and account. I look into my bank account to find that lycamobile had been cutting 20 dollars each month for two months (total of 40 dollars). I called multiple times wrote countless emails and still no reply. I called them for the final time and they still didn't want to refund me anything. Complete rubbish and I'm reporting this to the authorities to escalate matters. Absolutely disgusting service complete ripoff. until I receive a full refund I am completely unhappy and in escalating matters to higher authorities. Don't waste your money on a stinking service.

LycaMobile lycamobile technical service and customer service.

Dear Listener and LycaMobile,
NEVER USE LycaMobile. Use Lebara or any other service, TRUST ME ON THIS. Customer service is an outsourced Disfunctional Merry Go Round. LycaMobile has no problem with having in house technical problems that cost the consumer and, for lack of a better word, STEAL your money and offer no refund or compensation. Seriosly this is one of the worst companies I have ever done business with. Moreover one depends on this service and expects that a company that admits to their mistake will resolve it in a timely matter.
Long story short, I purchased a 10 hour talk + 60 gb data package. I used 1 GB of data and the service was shut off. Called CS and was informed that my number was transfered to someone else and I recieved another persons number and package. I was called by this other person informing me that I had thier number and would recieve calls from their friends and family, which I did. Unbelieveable! LycaMobile CS admitted they had a technical problem, left me hanging in a place far from civilization and with no way to contact anyone except 3332 (Customer Service). for 14 days, 3 times a day I called them and was told that it was in process of being resolved. It never was... but at least I was finally rescued.

LycaMobile cell phone provider

Lycamobile customer service is not helpful.First time customer- Customer service-Unwillingness to listen to my issues as a first time user . They put me on hold for 30 minutes ask me what they can help me but not willing to listen then transfer me to another department and hold again for another 30 minutes but unable resolve issues.All I want is to get my old cell number because this is my emergency number with my kids and school etc.to transfer to Lyca mobile. It seem like they don't know what their doing. I'm not going through this hassle again.They advised me to get another cell phone and go to 711 to buy another Lyca sim card which I did to find out it's not working and then go back to 711 tell them it's not working and buy another simcard. It's not worth it.
