Sarcastic, right?

Yes

Lyca is changing the promo pricing. I believe the 30 will be 26.

I think they changed already, the $29 plan used to give you 100MB 4G data, and now it says only 50MB.  Will that impact me if I got my sim already? (didn't activate yet).

If you didn't activate yet then you will get exactly what they offered.

They now have a new 16 dollar plan with 250 minutes and unlimited text and 50MB of data. Very good deal if u don't need too much talk or data.

Is anyone having good experience with them? My experience is horrible! On a good day most calls go through, and the internet works once or twice. On the average day it's much worse, with people not being able to reach me for hours, going straight to voice mail, and internet not working at all for no good reason.
I called them in, they sent me new settings, but nothing changed. I'm in desperate need for a good prepaid plan, 1000+ minutes and text messages, and just a few megs of internet, as I have wifi most of the day.

This is how it would look at PAYG
250 minutes x 2c = $5.00
50 MB x 6c = $3.00
you got $8.00 left to use it on 200 texts or 400 minutes, or 117 MB just make the calculation...

Was using Galaxy S Advance (i9070), switched yesterday to the Nexus 4, will see if it's any better. Brooklyn/Manhattan.

nexus should be better since it has the 1700 3g band which tmobile uses. They also started with other bands now but the i9070 doesn't have it, which would cause coverage issues.

Thanks for that. And here I thought all GSM phones were created equal.

They just disabled outgoing calls.  After calling them, it seems my account was flagged as Fraud, and they told me I need to email them information.  I did that, got no response.  That's 4 days now. 

In short:
Lycamobile is great when it works, horrible when it doesn't.  Phone support is useless, they're just a back-room office, no connection to fixing anything in your account.
