Call Kinshasa without watching the clock.
A US prepaid SIM built for the back-and-forth — unlimited nationwide talk and text, high-speed 5G data, and international calls to the DRC and 100+ other countries included on every plan.
No contract. No credit check. Activate before you land in the US.
Everything you need before you fly.
No add-on packs, no per-minute rate card for calling the DRC. It's all in the plan.
One number, home and away.
A US number means the apps that need one — banks, rideshare, hotel bookings — work the moment you land. The calls to family in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi or wherever home is don't become a separate bill on top.
- A real US number as soon as you activate — for verification codes, bookings and calls back
- Unlimited calls and texts to the DRC, built into every plan, not metered by the minute
- Manage it all from the app — balance, top-ups, and rates by country before you dial

Is calling the DRC really included, not an extra?
Yes — unlimited international talk and text to the Democratic Republic of Congo, along with 100+ other countries, is built into every Lyca Mobile plan on this page. It's not a separate add-on pack or a per-minute rate.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. Lyca Mobile is prepaid and month-to-month — there's no 12- or 24-month agreement and no early termination fee.
Can I activate before I land in the US?
You can order online ahead of your trip and either have the SIM waiting for you or activate an eSIM the moment you arrive, so you're not searching for a store on day one.
How do I activate a new SIM?
Insert the SIM into your phone, dial 622 and enter your zip code when prompted. The network picks it up automatically once that's done.
Will my phone work with Lyca Mobile?
Any unlocked GSM phone works. If your screen shows "SIM locked" or "incorrect SIM," contact your current carrier for an unlock code before you travel.
What happens if I run out of data?
Talk and text stay unlimited either way. On a capped data plan, speeds reduce once you pass your allowance for the rest of the 30-day cycle, or you can top up early from the app.
Is there support if something goes wrong?
Yes — phone support is available in multiple languages, alongside self-service tools in the app for balance, top-ups and rate checks.
