Registration didn't work.

Registration didn't work.

I waited for almost 2 full days for registration to be validated, still not done, so I just wasted 10 francs. Customer service is terribly slow and useless.

Confusing

Confusing. Lycomobile logs you out. The esim registers with a number like +410000 not a number. Still no idea if the ID process worked or not.

Dear Customer,

We understand that roaming connectivity varies depending on the country you are visiting, and that you are receiving a “no credit” message when making national calls even though your bundle includes unlimited calls. We appreciate how frustrating this can be.

Could you please share the country where you experienced the roaming issue, and a screenshot of the “no credit” message? This will help us investigate the issue and assist you further.

Paid for an eSIM, completed verification, but Lycamobile sent me to an app where I cannot do anything

I purchased a Lycamobile Switzerland eSIM with the CHEX60GB bundle for CHF 8.00.
Order ID: ORD1BEE70000193472
Reference No: CH0004517261
I completed the identity verification process through IDnow and successfully installed the eSIM on my iPhone. However, the eSIM was not registered or activated on Lycamobile's side, mobile data did not work, my account showed 0KB of data, and the CHEX60GB bundle that I paid for was never activated.
I contacted Lycamobile customer support to resolve the issue. Their response was that the eSIM was not registered in their system and that I should contact IDnow directly or visit a physical retailer.
Imagine paying for a service, completing every required step, and then contacting customer support because the service you paid for does not work — only to be sent to a separate identity verification app instead of having the actual problem investigated and resolved.
When I opened the IDnow app, it clearly showed that my identity verification had already been completed, with error code E103.
To make matters even worse, Lycamobile told me to contact IDnow, but the IDnow app does not even provide a customer support or contact option for this issue. The app only asks for an Ident-ID to start an identity verification process. My verification has already been completed successfully, so there is literally nothing I can do in the app to resolve the problem.
So Lycamobile effectively sent me to a third-party app that does not resolve eSIM activation issues, does not show any useful option for my situation, and confirms that the identity verification was already completed.
As a customer, I should not have to act as a middleman between Lycamobile and the third-party company they chose to handle identity verification. I paid Lycamobile for an online eSIM and data bundle, completed all the required steps, but received a service that I could not use.
Overall, this has been an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience. I paid for a service that was never properly activated, and instead of resolving the issue, customer support sent me elsewhere. This experience has given me no confidence in continuing to use Lycamobile.

Dear Eithub,

We understand that you paid for the CHEX60GB bundle, successfully completed the IDnow verification, and installed the eSIM on your iPhone, but the service remained inactive, your account showed 0KB of data, and the bundle was never activated. We also understand your frustration with being directed to IDnow when the verification had already been completed and the issue appeared to be with the Lyca Mobile eSIM registration and activation.

We appreciate the detailed information you have provided, including the order and reference details and the IDnow error code E103. Could you please share a screenshot showing the current eSIM status, the 0KB data balance, or the E103 message? This will help us review the activation issue and assist you further.

I purchased the CHEX60GB eSIM and completed the required identity verification successfully. More than 24 hours have now passed since my purchase and successful verification, but my eSIM is still not activated and mobile internet is not working.
Order ID: ORD1BEE70000193472
Reference No: CH0004517261
Device: iPhone 12
I do not want to jump to conclusions or criticize the service before the issue is resolved, and I hope this can still be fixed. However, waiting more than 24 hours in 2026 for a paid eSIM and mobile internet to become active is already a negative experience.
I would appreciate it if someone could check the activation status of my eSIM and the CHEX60GB bundle and help resolve the issue.

Issue with activation - no biometric passport

The payment is done prior to activation. The activation account doesnt even allow activation without a biometric passport. So I am now unable to use my phone despite having passport. The website provides no solution to this.

Dear Salonee,

We understand that you have already completed the payment, but the activation process is preventing you from proceeding because it requires a biometric passport. We also understand that you are currently unable to use your phone and that the website does not provide a suitable solution.

Could you please share the screenshot of the activation or verification error? This will help us review the issue and assist you with the activation process.
