Lycamobile

Lycamobile UK, operating within the United Kingdom and throughout Europe, provides mobile network services utilising the Mobile Country Code (MCC) 234, specific to the UK, and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 26. As a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), Lycamobile leverages the existing infrastructure of other established networks, often speculated to be EE in the UK, to deliver its services. This allows them to offer competitive pricing, particularly for international calls, a key demographic focus for the network. Lycamobile has become a recognisable brand across the European continent due to this business model. Known for its prepaid offerings and focus on affordability, Lycamobile UK competes with other MVNOs, such as Giffgaff and VOXI, as well as the UK's major network operators like Vodafone, O2, and Three. While not owning its own physical network infrastructure, Lycamobile provides a range of services, including voice calls, text messaging, and data plans, often tailored towards users who frequently make international calls to countries outside of Europe. This approach makes it a popular choice for migrants and international students residing in the United Kingdom.
