Title: Ordered many times, but activating can be a mixed bag.
Review: I'm in a big city, so no connection issues.The price of $16.99 is a good deal for 12Gigs 4G connection.The only problem I have is that that there are many different sellers supplying Amazon with these cards. Some are NOT preloaded and require you to email them or sign up online. These suppliers need at least 1 day notice, and hours to connect are limited to their business hours.Sometimes you get lucky, and get a card direct from Lyca. These are preloaded, and are super easy to get started. No internet needed. Just like the ones you buy at convenience stores. Almost totally plug and play.These cards are unlimited internet, which I like. After12Gigs speeds are throttled. Web pages load in about a minute, video chat is choppy, but usable. Scrolling apps like Insta or Reddit are almost unusable.Protect your data by turning on Data Saver. If you have Spotify Pro, disable downloads over cellular on their app or else they will use up your data downloading your Playlist.If tethering to an iPad or PC, disable auto downloads on them first.If they decide to update apps or even the operating system, it can eat up all your data in minutes.All 3 of these have happened to me, and it's a real bummer when it does.On the bright side, the sim was only $16.99. :)I just got 2 more for family coming for a visit.

Title: Big disappointment, could not activate
Review: I purchased 2 of these SIMs for a Hawaii vacation. I'm from Canada, so I tried activating the day before the trip and received errors saying that the SIMs were invalid. I tried on both the Lyca Mobile site and the vendor's site JZN Market. Both returned the same invalid SIM error.Upon landing in Hawaii, I tried again to activate at the airport. One SIM activated but only connected to the network for a couple of hours and did not work after that. The other did not activate at all.We contacted JZN support and they directed us to Lyca support. The Lyca support was slow and we were unable to get any meaningful help for 2 days.At that point, we gave up and bought local SIMs instead of waiting for Lyca to help.I have bought and activated Lyca SIMs from JZN Market in the past and they worked fine.This time was a big let-down.

Title: Insert & Use
Review: I needed it for a holiday in the US. Worked as described! Simply insert the card, follow the instructions written on the package to active the SIM (Wi-Fi is recommended for this), wait 15 minutes and you're good to go!

Title: This âunlimitedâ data plan is horrible.
Review: You can easily use the 3gb of high speed data just setting up a new phone and this plan, and getting this plan working was a hassle compared to every other carrier Iâve ever used.The high speed data is good, really good, but once thatâs gone you arenât going to get much done at all. This plan isnât even available on their website or app.Iâm going to post a video of downloading a very small app on a new phone.Update: I also included a speed test comparing this plan, on the left, to US Mobile on the right. The US mobile plan has also used its allotment of high speed data. Both using T-Mobile towers, too. For streaming Lyca is rated for up to 240p, while US Mobile is rated up to 480p.
