I live near the border and my phone switches between Lyca Mobile and a Roaming Network!

To ensure that you do not pay Roaming rates whilst you are in Belgium, you need to change the settings on your handset. By changing the ‘network selection’ mode to manual, this will prevent your handset from switching between Lyca Mobile Belgium and any Roaming Partner networks in a neighbouring country.

Please see you handset user guide for detailed steps on changing your handset settings.

Please note: You should always ensure that your phone displays Lyca Mobile before placing a call or sending a text. If it shows another network, you will be charged at the appropriate International Roaming rate. This also applies to incoming calls.
