How hard is it to cancel Lebara UK?
Lebara UK scores 81/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the GB — a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via online (self-serve), phone, text.
To leave Lebara and keep your number, text PAC to 65075 free from your Lebara SIM; to leave without keeping it, text STAC to 75075. Codes are issued (per Ofcom rules) within one working day and are valid 30 days; you give the code to your new provider and your Lebara account closes automatically once the number ports. Lebara warns customers not to cancel before switching or they may lose the number. No 30-day notice or early-termination charge is disclosed for its 30-day rolling SIM-only plans; refund of unused credit is not stated on the leave page.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
