Where Lebara shines is it's great international inclusions on all its mobile plans, which is handy for those looking to stay in touch with friends or family overseas.

Lebara may be a smaller provider, but it has several handy features on its plans:
You can save up to 200GB of unused data with Lebara's data bank feature. You'll keep this data as long as you recharge before expiry with any of its plans.
Every 30 days, you can gift up to 10GB from your data bank to other Lebara customers with a data bank.
This could be useful if your friends or family are also with Lebara and they're running out of data on their mobile plans.
If your plan costs $24.90 or above monthly, you'll get a 10% discount on your plan fees when you sign up for automatic recharge.
This feature is off by default but can be activated through your account portal.
Lebara has some of the more generous international inclusions, offering unlimited talk and text to up to 60 countries. Most plans also get unlimited texts to 60 countries and some amount of international call minutes.
Few mobile providers come close to this number of included countries.
Another handy feature is Lebara offers no lock-in contracts, meaning you can use the service based on your terms.
Lebara has 2 roaming packs that work in more than 50 countries:
Neither offers good value as far as roaming goes.
