Lyca Mobile 美国套餐评测 2026:10 美元与 15 美元套餐 | MollySIM
Your choice between these Lyca plans depends on what you need beyond a US number. Occasional verification messages and light use point towards the smaller allowance. Regular conversations, more US data and international calls give you reasons to consider the larger one.
This Lyca Mobile US review 2026 compares MollySIM's two stocked plans and the terms that affect keeping and using your number. Read the purchase price separately from the plan name, especially if you are budgeting for a number you will use only occasionally.
What Lyca Mobile US gives you
MollySIM's Lyca Mobile US SIM gives you a native US phone number. The card is activated for you before shipping. These are the published allowances and MollySIM retail prices in USD:
| Plan | Allowance (30 days) | MollySIM price |
|---|---|---|
| Lyca Mobile US $10 | 300MB US data, 3,000 min, 3,000 SMS | $29.99 |
| Lyca Mobile US $15 | 1GB US data, unlimited US talk & SMS, unlimited international calls to 80+ destinations | $34.99 |
The allowance period is 30 days. The $10 and $15 labels identify the plans; $29.99 and $34.99 are the respective MollySIM purchase prices. Keep those figures separate when comparing checkout costs and plan budgets.
Who the $10 plan suits

Choose the smaller plan if you want a US number for occasional codes, limited calls and messages, and light US data use. You get 300MB, 3,000 minutes and 3,000 SMS during the allowance period. Your decision should account for all three limits, even if messages are your main reason for buying.
The data allowance is the constraint to consider first if you also expect to use mobile internet. Treat 300MB as a small allowance and compare it with your own usage before ordering. Do not choose this plan solely because the call and text allowances look generous for your needs.
For verification use, separate the phone service question from the account question. A native US number describes what you are buying; it does not establish whether a particular bank will accept that number. Use the US number for bank verification guide to frame that decision without treating code delivery as guaranteed.
Who the $15 plan suits
Choose the larger plan if you need 1GB of US data, unlimited US talk and SMS, or the included international calling allowance. Its international calls cover 80+ destinations, subject to Lyca's published restrictions below.
This is the stronger fit if your decision involves regular conversations as well as receiving messages. You avoid the smaller plan's stated US talk and SMS caps, while gaining more US data. However, 1GB remains a defined data allowance; unlimited talk does not mean unlimited data.
Before choosing it for international calls, check both the destination and the actual numbers you intend to dial. The word “unlimited” needs to be read alongside the first-10-numbers rule. A destination count alone does not tell you whether every intended call falls within the allowance.
Fine print that affects your choice
Lyca's published terms state the following. The website fee and auto-renewal discount are carrier terms, separate from the MollySIM retail prices above.
| Term | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Regulatory recovery fee | A 5% fee applies to website purchases, including auto-recharges. Account for it when budgeting those transactions. |
| Auto-renewal discount | Activating auto-renewal gives 10% off. Keep the discount and the website fee in view; do not assume the discount removes the fee. |
| Excluded texts | Texts to 900 numbers are excluded. A large or unlimited SMS allowance does not override this exclusion. |
| 5G requirements | You need a compatible handset. For iPhone, the stated software requirement is iOS 16.4 or later. |
| US coverage | The plan is valid in all 50 US states and Puerto Rico. This is the plan's stated coverage area. |
| National roaming | There is no national roaming. Do not budget on a national roaming fallback. |
| International number limit | “Unlimited international calls” covers the first 10 dialled numbers per country. This limits the distinct numbers covered, even within an included destination. |
| International exclusions | Morocco IAM/Wana and Israel prefixes 97256/97259 are excluded from that international calling provision. |
For international calling, write down your intended contacts before comparing plans. Calling a small set of contacts and calling many different numbers are different requirements under these terms.
Using the plan outside the US
Outside the US, use of the plan allowance—data, calls and SMS—requires Wi-Fi Calling to be switched on. The SIM can register on local cell towers abroad, but registration alone does not give you access to the plan allowance. Seeing a network connection is therefore insufficient evidence that your included service is available.
Keep the US data allowance separate from expectations about overseas cellular data. Neither row in the plan table should be read as a promise of included local mobile data abroad. Set up Wi-Fi Calling and check the functions you intend to rely on before you need an urgent message or call.
Lyca's published terms also say the SIM and its assigned number expire after 60 consecutive days of non-use. Plan expiry alone does not cancel the number, and a top-up restores service. These statements address different situations: do not assume a top-up will recover a number already lost to non-use.
The supplied terms do not define which activities reset that non-use period. Confirm that detail before relying on a maintenance routine. The guide to keeping a US number alive is a useful next step when number retention matters more than everyday usage.
Cost per day and cheaper plans for codes
For the Lyca Mobile US $10 vs $15 plan comparison, dividing each plan's named dollar amount by its 30-day period gives:
| Basis | $10 plan | $15 plan |
|---|---|---|
| Plan-label arithmetic | $10 ÷ 30 ≈ $0.33/day | $15 ÷ 30 = $0.50/day |
| MollySIM purchase price spread over 30 days | $29.99 ÷ 30 ≈ $1.00/day | $34.99 ÷ 30 ≈ $1.17/day |
The first row compares the plan labels before carrier fees or discounts. The second spreads your MollySIM purchase price across an allowance period for comparison. Neither is a quoted final renewal charge or a separate daily billing option. The MollySIM purchase-price difference is $5.00.
If you only need a number for codes, compare the lower monthly labels in the T-Mobile North America SIM range. Its $3/mo plan includes 30 minutes and 30 SMS at a MollySIM price of $64.99. The $5/mo plan includes 100 minutes and 100 SMS for $24.99; the $6/mo plan includes 200 minutes and 200 SMS for $23.99.
Lower monthly labels do not always mean a lower purchase price. Outside the US, those T-Mobile plans have no cellular voice or SMS roaming: calls and SMS require Wi-Fi Calling on Wi-Fi and work only with US numbers. Include that requirement in your comparison if you will keep the number abroad.
Setup checklist
- Match the allowance to your use. Choose your US data amount, then compare calls, SMS and any intended international contacts.
- Choose your delivery format. Every physical card can also be delivered as an eSIM. Write
eSIMin the order note to receive the activation QR code by email. - Check the activated-product terms. Cards are activated before shipping. A non-faulty activated card is not refundable for a change of mind. If something is wrong, support reviews it individually; no particular outcome is promised.
- Prepare your handset. Check compatibility if you want 5G, and enable Wi-Fi Calling for use of the allowance abroad. Check calls and messages before depending on them.
- Plan ongoing use. Review fees and auto-renewal, track plan expiry, and avoid leaving the number unused for 60 consecutive days. Confirm what counts as use.
