Help & FAQ

How long does delivery take for a physical SIM?

Physical SIMs to UK addresses typically arrive within 2–3 working days. If you need service immediately, choose an eSIM and activate it instantly after purchase.

Can I return a SIM or handset?

Unopened handsets usually follow standard returns (check the product page for exact windows). Physical SIMs are generally non‑refundable once activated; eSIM activations cannot be refunded after provisioning.

Are there discounts or promotional offers?

Lebara runs frequent promotions, first‑time offers and bonus credit on initial top‑ups. Check the site for current promo codes, seasonal deals and referral bonuses before you buy.
