Simple phones that work on Lyca Mobile
Lyca Mobile runs on EE's network.
Sources disagree on which network Lyca uses; ISPreview (2024) says EE. Its 4G calling support is unclear.
- 2G: On. EE plans to start switching off 2G from May 2029, and says phones without 4G calling will lose service entirely once it closes.
- 4G calling for phones they didn't sell: Not confirmed. EE says it can't guarantee 4G calling on phones bought elsewhere.
