Pros and cons
LABAS
Pros
- Entry pricing from €1 puts LABAS near the bottom of the site range, below the median of €9.30.
- Plans run on 1 month, so a month is the whole commitment, and billing is prepaid.
- Sim only, eSIM, 5G and wifi calling are all included, and support runs on phone, help centre and email.
Cons
- Unlimited data costs €13.99, which places LABAS at 41 of 173 rather than among the lowest unlimited plans.
- Data rollover is not available, so unused allowance is lost when the plan period ends.
- The range is LT only, so anyone outside Lithuania is not covered.
Lidl Connect
Pros
- Billing is prepaid, and the reference plans carry no minimum term, so there is no long lock in to plan around.
- EU roaming is included, and only 36.1% of the plans in this category include it, so it sets this brand apart.
- 5G is supported, which matches 95.2% of the plans ranked here and keeps the tariff current.
Cons
- It sells in a single market, so anyone who wants one brand to cover more than one country should look elsewhere.
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre only, with no live chat or community forum listed.
- Lidl Connect has seller type mvno, while GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! are all listed as seller type network, so you deal with a virtual operator rather than the network.
Who each suits
LABAS
Who it suits
- Lithuanian residents on prepaid terms who want a SIM only plan with eSIM and 5G
- Travellers who need EU roaming on fair use terms across 29 countries
- People who want a plan on a 1-month term they can end without a long contract
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting an unlimited data plan at the cheapest rate, since unlimited runs at €13.99
- Customers outside LT, who would need a brand from another market
- People who need unused data to carry over, since data rollover is not available
Lidl Connect
Who it suits
- People in Germany who want EU roaming built into the tariff rather than added at the checkout.
- Light data users who want a small recurring bill and nothing to lock them in.
- Buyers who prefer prepaid top ups they can stop at any billing period, since billing is prepaid.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants to buy from the network itself: GETESA is listed as seller type network, while Lidl Connect has seller type mvno.
- Buyers who prefer a network seller to weigh against a virtual operator: yesss! is also listed as seller type network.
- Shoppers who want a second network option before deciding: Lonestar Cell MTN is listed as seller type network, so both network sellers can be set against this virtual operator.

Questions about each
LABAS
What does LABAS cost to get started?+
Entry pricing starts at €1 on a prepaid basis with a 1-month term. That sits below the site median of €9.30 for price from, and LABAS ranks 19 of 258 on that measure. The larger reference plans cost more, with the unlimited option at €13.99.
Is LABAS a network operator or an MVNO?+
LABAS sells as an mvno, running its plans on the Bite network rather than owning one. The company behind it is UAB Bite Lietuva, based in Lithuania. Readers who prefer buying from a network operator can compare the network sellers listed alongside it.
Lidl Connect
What does Lidl Connect cost to start with?+
The entry plan, SMART XS, is €4.99. That is the floor for the whole range and it suits light data use each billing period. The Unlimited on Demand S plan is €9.99, which is the figure to budget if you want data without a ceiling. Both sit on prepaid billing, so nothing here is tied to a long contract.
Is there an unlimited data plan, and what does it include?+
Yes. The reference range runs from a small starter plan through a larger data plan to the Unlimited on Demand S plan, which comes with extra data top ups. Every one of them is billed on a repeating cycle with no minimum term, so you are not tied to a fixed end date. The unlimited plan is €9.99.
