Lebara Mobile referral: 50% off for two months

Signing up with Lebara Mobile is entirely paperless: a valid ID is enough, with no paper contract, no deposit and no direct-debit mandate required. You pay each month, with no commitment.

The process takes about 5 minutes: personal details, SIM or eSIM choice, payment, activation. To keep your number, provide your porting code (in France, the free RIO obtained by calling 3179): the transfer happens within 3 working days with no service interruption. Lebara Mobile charges no activation fee — unlike some MVNOs that charge €10 to €30 at sign-up.

The Lebara Mobile discount of 50% applies to the first two months of your plan, via the referral link (no code). On the 250GB 5G plan at €9.99/month, it brings each of the first two months down to about €5, saving nearly €10. On the 60GB at €6.99, you pay about €3.50 for the first two months.

Following months return to the standard rate — which remains among the most competitive in the MVNO market. On the referrer side, Lebara pays €15 in cash (referee on 60 or 250GB) or €30 (350GB plan), by bank transfer or PayPal 3 to 4 months after sign-up, with no limit on referrals. Rates checked in July 2026.

Main new-customer plans available from Lebara Mobile (checked July 2026):

All data plans include unlimited calls and SMS/MMS within the country (except the small voice bundle), a free eSIM and free number porting. The "existing customer / international" range adds a 1GB plan at €5.99 and goes up to 450GB. Lebara operates on the SFR network for broad 4G/5G coverage.

Times by SIM type:

• eSIM: activation in a few minutes. Ideal if you're switching urgently or ordering from abroad.
• Physical SIM: free delivery in 3 to 5 working days, activation on arrival.

For number porting, allow 3 working days after submitting your porting code. You stay reachable on your old line until the switch, which happens at midnight with no daytime cut-off. Using a Lebara Mobile promo code doesn't affect these times.

Lebara Mobile regularly runs its own promotional offers directly on its website (an intro price on the 60GB, for example). The referral — 50% off for 2 months via an Aklamio link — applies at sign-up with no code to enter; check the discount shows in the basket before confirming.

For data on the go while travelling abroad, also compare Airalo for travel eSIMs, and Lycamobile, another MVNO focused on international calling.

Lebara Mobile has historically stood out for low-cost international calls. Founded in the UK, the brand targets expat communities and users who regularly call abroad.

On certain plans (the international range and higher-tier plans), calls to around 60 destinations are included at no extra charge — a rare feature at this price point. Covered destinations include, depending on the offer, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and Latin America.

For households paying extra for international options with their current carrier, a Lebara Mobile discount represents tens of euros saved in the first year. For pay-as-you-go international calls and money transfers, also look at Rebtel.

What sets Lebara Mobile apart from competing MVNOs:

The data-per-euro ratio of the 250GB 5G plan is hard to beat. No activation fee and free porting round out a positioning centred on pricing transparency.

Lebara Mobile is an MVNO that runs on a major mobile network for broad 4G coverage and growing 5G in large cities.

Present in several countries, Lebara targets consumers wanting to maximise data and minimise their bill. Customer reviews are broadly positive on network quality and pricing, with some remarks on email-support responsiveness — the service is 100% digital, which partly explains the low prices.

For an ultra-competitive no-commitment plan with an international option, Lebara is a serious alternative to the entry-level offers of the big carriers.

Before subscribing to Lebara Mobile via referral:

• Valid ID required (national ID card or passport) to activate the SIM.
• Number porting within 3 working days after providing your porting code.
• 50% off the first 2 months via the referral link (no code), then the standard rate.
• The referrer bonus (€15 or €30 in cash via Aklamio) is paid 3 to 4 months after sign-up, provided the line is activated and used.
• 14-day legal withdrawal right applies to the subscription.

Pricing terms can change without notice: offers checked in July 2026.

Lebara Mobile has evolved considerably. First known for its international prepaid cards, the operator gradually developed monthly no-commitment plans.

Prices have broadly fallen under pressure from competing MVNOs: entry-level offers, once around €5-7, are now available from €3/month. Data volumes have exploded — plans with 250GB or 350GB in 5G for under €15 were unimaginable three years ago.

Beyond monthly plans, Lebara Mobile keeps its prepaid DNA: no bank account and no commitment — you top up whenever you like. Recharges are activated by SMS code — texting ILLIM100 to 22241, for instance, unlocks a 30-day bundle at €9.99 (unlimited calls and texts to mainland France + 100GB of 5G data). Other codes cover smaller allowances or more international minutes.

Prepaid suits occasional users, short-stay travellers and anyone wanting tight budget control. One thing to remember: the 50% off for 2 months referral discount applies to monthly no-commitment plans, not to prepaid recharges. For a prepaid SIM built around international calling, Lycamobile sits in the same category as Lebara; for mobile data abroad, an Airalo travel eSIM pairs well with a Lebara plan.
