Fixing Lyca Mobile Mobile Data on Android
Go to Settings → Network & Internet → toggle Mobile Data. Turn mobile data off, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. This forces a fresh data session with Lyca Mobile.
Hold the power button and tap Restart. A full restart clears the radio stack and re-registers the SIM on the Lyca Mobile network.
Swipe down for Quick Settings and ensure Airplane Mode is not active. Even a brief Airplane toggle can clear a stuck data session.
Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Advanced → Access Point Names and confirm the Lyca Mobile APN value reads: data.lycamobile.co.uk. Incorrect APN settings are the most common cause of mobile data failure.
Call Lyca Mobile support on 322 (free from Lyca) or log into the Lyca Mobile app to confirm your account is active, your plan has data remaining, and no spending cap is applied.
If data still fails, perform a network reset via Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth. This clears all saved network configuration and re-provisions Lyca Mobile settings from scratch.
Visit Lyca Mobile's status page or search 'Lyca Mobile network outage' to confirm there is no service disruption in your area affecting Lyca Mobile mobile data.
