Pros and cons
Lycamobile
Pros
- Entry pricing of £3.50 a month and unlimited data at £12.50 a month place it near the top of our price-from and unlimited tables.
- A credit check is not required, which is a shorter route to a live line than a provider that scores applicants first.
- Billing runs on prepaid and rolling terms and plan terms come in 1, 12 and 24, so a reader can start short and stay flexible.
Cons
- Roaming in Europe runs on fair use terms rather than being included, so regular travel calls for another plan.
- Lycamobile is an MVNO by mvno, where GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! are listed as networks, so readers set on a network seller should compare those instead.
- The entry price ranks 79 of 258 on our price-from list, so the lowest starting price in the comparison sits elsewhere.
T-Mobile Polska
Pros
- Two billing styles in one place: contract and prepaid covers both a prepaid card and a contract SIM, so a short month and a longer plan come from the same seller type of network.
- Unlimited data is priced at PLN 75 on the Abonament komorkowy plan, which also ranks 59 of 173 brands on that measure.
- Sim only is available, so you can bring your own handset and pay only for the network side.
Cons
- The contract plan runs 24 months, so the unlimited price is tied to a long commitment rather than a rolling monthly deal.
- EU roaming is on fair use terms, which is weaker than plans that include roaming in the monthly price.
- The range runs in Poland, so the plan, support and the prepaid card are aimed at Poland only.
Who each suits
Lycamobile
Who it suits
- UK readers wanting a cheap prepaid data line: sim only plans from £3.50 a month, sold in the United Kingdom, with no credit check.
- Readers who want 5G or an eSIM but not a handset bundle, and who can live with plan terms of 1, 12 and 24.
- Holders of a spare phone or tablet who can manage fair use roaming and a set data allowance.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want European roaming included in the price: Lycamobile runs roaming on fair use terms, and GETESA, Lonestar Cell MTN and yesss! are the alternatives to weigh instead.
- Anyone who insists on buying from a network rather than an MVNO, since GETESA (network), Lonestar Cell MTN (network) and yesss! (network) all sell as networks while Lycamobile is an MVNO by mvno.
T-Mobile Polska
Who it suits
- People living in Poland who want a plan sold by the network itself rather than a reseller, given network and PL.
- Shoppers who want both a prepaid card and a contract option on the same account, since contract and prepaid lists both.
- Households wanting a multi line discount, or travellers who want eSIM and Wi-Fi calling included.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside PL, where the prepaid card and contract plans do not reach.
- People who want EU roaming included in the monthly price, since fair use applies.
- Readers who need a short rolling commitment, because the contract option runs 24 months.

Questions about each
Lycamobile
What is the cheapest Lycamobile plan?+
UK Plan Smart is the entry plan, priced at £3.50 a month for a set data allowance. It is a sim only offer, so no handset is needed, and a credit check is not required. National Plus costs more for a larger allowance, while UK Plan Unlimited is the option for a reader who would rather not watch data.
How much does the unlimited plan cost?+
UK Plan Unlimited is quoted at £12.50 a month. On our unlimited price list Lycamobile ranks 44 of 173, so unlimited data is priced below the middle of the field. The figure is the same throughout, with no promotional opening rate listed for the plan.
T-Mobile Polska
How much does a T-Mobile Polska plan cost at the cheapest end?+
Plans start at PLN 30 per month on the prepaid card. The reference tariffs add GO! S and GO! M, a smaller and a larger data bundle billed monthly on a short cycle, so entry pricing stays flexible rather than locked. Unlimited data sits higher, at PLN 75 on the Abonament komorkowy plan.
What does unlimited data cost, and how long am I tied in?+
The Abonament komorkowy plan carries unlimited data at PLN 75 per month and runs 24 months. That is the trade-off to weigh: a lower entry price on the prepaid card tariffs, or unlimited data on a long contract. On that measure the brand ranks 59 of 173.
