Lyca Mobile Speed Test FAQ
How fast is Lyca Mobile internet?
Lyca Mobile operates on the EE 4G and 5G network with typical download speeds of 30-60 Mbps on 4G and 100-300 Mbps on 5G. EE has the UK's largest 4G coverage and one of the widest 5G networks. Actual speeds depend on location, signal strength, and network congestion. Lycamobile does not apply speed caps on plans. Performance is generally equivalent to EE's own network speeds. Run a speed test to measure your actual Lyca Mobile connection speed.
Does Lyca Mobile include international calls?
Yes, all Lycamobile plans include free international minutes to over 50 countries. Popular destinations with generous allowances include India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Ghana, and many European countries. The number of included minutes varies by plan and destination. Lycamobile was founded specifically to provide affordable international calling. Additional international minutes or calling bundles can be purchased as add-ons. This makes Lycamobile particularly popular among diaspora communities across the UK.
How do I test my Lyca Mobile speed?
Use the speed test tool on this page to measure your Lyca Mobile download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. Ensure strong EE signal on your device and close background applications for accurate results. Test at different times and locations to understand speed variability across the EE network. Verify 5G is enabled in your device settings if you are in a 5G coverage area. If speeds seem low, check your data balance as some plans may throttle after the allotment is reached.
Is Lyca Mobile the same as EE?
Lyca Mobile uses the EE network in the UK but operates as a completely separate MVNO with its own brand, pricing, and customer service. Network coverage is the same as EE for 4G and increasingly for 5G. Key differences include Lycamobile's much lower pricing, international calling focus, no-contract plans, and fewer premium features like WiFi calling or VoLTE on some plans. For users who primarily need cheap calls and data without premium extras, Lycamobile offers EE network quality at significantly lower prices.
