Lebara Mobile - any good?

[John.C]

Hello everybody. What a wonderful forum you have here. I found it while searching for tagalog phrases to impress my 2 friends who are from the Phillipines. One of my friends has Lebara Mobile - it seems really good. I am thinking of changing from Tesco (poor reception quality).
Is Lebara really free for calls and texts for uk Lebara to Lebara? Seems too good to be true. What is time limit for these free calls. How much credit needed for free calls? I am having difficulty finding all of this info on Lebara site. Thanks to anyone who can advise me.

:welcomex: John. :iagree: it IS indeed, a wonderful forum. One word of warning, though ... it's highly addictive! :icon_lol:

:Erm: I tend to go along with the old maxim: "If it SEEMS too good to be true ... then it usually IS!".

And since I have to confess that I seldom use a mobile phone of any description :NoNo: - except in cases of dire emergency - I'm the last person to offer an opinion as to the best quality ones on the market. :ARsurrender: But I'm confident someone here WILL be able to advise. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Thank you Arthur. Will wait patiently for other comments. In the meantime I am reading other posts with much interest, and resisting the urge to comment on life, love, relationships.......

:) I can easily relate to what you're saying, John. Being retired, I spend more than half my time reading other people's posts. Sure, a goodly proportion of those are concerned with relationships ... and, inevitably, the pursuance of visas & so forth ... but the sheer range of miscellaneous, diverse and interesting topics discussed besides - more often than not, interspersed with humour - is quite phenomenal, really! You'll soon discover what I meant by my earlier use of the word "addictive"!

Enjoy every moment, my friend! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

... yeah u are correct

Calls from Lebara UK to Lebara UK numbers are free.

Also, Lebara calls to the Philippines are 10p a minute.
(there are cheaper alternatives... but usually means messimg around with a
phone card, and 7p a minute is the best I've seen)

Only slight drawback is that all txts are also 10p (this includes the Philippines)

Overall, I've been happy with the service.
I stuck £10 on it 4mnths ago ... and I'm still £3.80 in credit.

Great stuff Bluebirdjones. I appreciate it.

Been using Lebara for about 2years. They 'piggy back' on Vodaphone so check their coverage for your area.

The have different deals at different times, such as 50% extra when you top up at least £20. Current one is £5 extra when you top up £30.

No major problems, never any trouble ringing/texting the Philippines at 10p per minute or 10p per text.

Thinks its 2p per minute to ring Australian landline. Check the website for full prices.
