Lebara Mobile internet plan features

The main Lebara Mobile feature for its data-only plans is the data bank. Assuming you keep recharging, unused data up to 200GB is bankable and can be used at a later date. Lebara Mobile also offers data gifting, so you can gift up to 10GB of data every 30 days from data bank to another Lebara customer. Data gifting starts at 50MB and maxes out at 2GB per transaction.

Outside of that, Lebara Mobile isn’t particularly big on features for its data-only plans, except that it offers eSIM for supported devices.
