sim iconThe difference between Prepaid and Sim Only

Discover the differences

Sim Only

Sim Only is a subscription that gives you a bundle each month with very cheap rates for calling, texting and using data.
Want to increase or decrease your bundle for the month ahead? Adjust your calling, texting and data limits any time via MyLebara.
Lebara Spring Deal: save €15 in activation fee.

Prepaid

If you use Prepaid, then you do not have a fixed subscription. You simply buy credit in advance, and prepaid rates are higher than Sim Only rates.
Have you used all your credit? If so, then you can still receive calls. That means you're always within reach.
