Roaming APN Settings — Lebara

Lebara uses the same APN for both UK data and international roaming: uk.lebara.mobi. You do not need to create a separate roaming APN. If mobile data stops working after arriving abroad, verify the APN is still set correctly and has not been overwritten by a local carrier profile.

EU Roaming Policy — Lebara

Yes — Lebara international plans include EU roaming; check your plan.

What to check before you travel

Roaming allowances differ by plan, so verify yours directly rather than assuming. Inside My Lebara, locate your plan or account details and look for an "International" or "Roaming" section — this shows your included destinations and any daily limits. Calling 5588 (free from Lebara) or online chat at lebara.co.uk can confirm anything unclear, which is easier to resolve before you fly than after.

Lebara Roaming Destinations & Countries

Lebara roaming is available across multiple destination tiers. EU/EEA destinations typically use your UK allowance at no extra cost on eligible plans. Further destinations (USA, Australia, Asia) may require a roaming add-on or pay-per-use charges.

Always verify specific country availability for your plan in the Lebara app or on the Lebara website before travelling.

Lebara Data Limits & Roaming Charges

Avoiding bill shock starts with understanding how roaming charges apply. Here's the Lebara breakdown:

• Reaching the data cap while roaming either stops data completely or triggers a paid top-up, per plan.
• In covered destinations, the usual UK data, calls and texts allowance carries over at no additional cost.
• Some plans cap usable data even in included roaming zones under a fair use policy — check first.
• Outside included roaming zones, standard rates take over and can be considerably steeper — check a travel add-on first.

Troubleshooting Lebara Roaming

1. Verify APN settings — check APN is still set to uk.lebara.mobi and has not been replaced by a local carrier profile.
2. Try manual network selection: Settings › Mobile Networks › Network Operators. Search for networks and select a Lebara partner manually.
3. Data roaming is off by default on most phones — enable it via Settings › Mobile Networks.
4. Check signal strength — in remote areas or certain countries, Lebara may have limited partner coverage.
5. Some plans don't cover every country — confirm the destination is included.
6. Turn Aeroplane Mode on for 30 seconds then off to prompt a network re-scan.
7. Restart your phone after arriving to register on a local Lebara partner network.
8. Contact Lebara support: 0333 800 1111.
