Pricing: strong, until you look one tier up
$168 for twelve months is $14/mo for 25GB, a rate almost nobody matches on a capped plan, and a 64% discount on the $39 30-day price.
The catch is Unlimited Plus at $204 a year ($17/mo): three dollars more a month for unlimited data with the first 50GB at full speed. If your usage is anywhere near 25GB, that's the better place to spend.

Final Verdict
A strong capped plan and the right pick for a specific user: someone who wants a hard ceiling on data rather than an unlimited plan, and who calls abroad. Twenty-five gigabytes for fourteen dollars a month is excellent. But Lycamobile prices Unlimited Plus at only $3/mo more with double the full-speed allowance, so anyone actually pushing 25GB should look there first. Note that the three-month term is priced worse than buying single cycles.
Consider instead: Lycamobile Unlimited Plus. Three dollars a month more on an annual term for unlimited data and double the full-speed allowance. The better buy for heavy users.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is Lycamobile's $39 plan?
$39 for 30 days, $45 for three months, $132 for six or $168 for twelve: about $14/mo annually. Taxes and fees are extra.
Should I buy this or Unlimited Plus?
Unlimited Plus if you're anywhere near 25GB: $204 a year against $168 buys unlimited data with the first 50GB at full speed. This plan is right if you want a firm cap.
Does it include international calling?
Yes: unlimited talk and text to 100 countries, included on every Lycamobile plan from the $15 tier upward.
Does the plan include hotspot?
Lycamobile publishes a hotspot allowance on some tiers and not others. Its own promotional listings state 8GB of hotspot on the 8GB plan and 15GB on both the 15GB and Unlimited Plus plans. For the tiers where no figure is published, treat hotspot as unconfirmed rather than absent.
Are the long-term prices permanent?
No. They're promotional against a list price roughly three times higher, so check what the plan renews at before committing to twelve months.
