A Lyca Mobile recharge from the US usually means one of two things: keeping your own Lyca USA line running, or sending credit to a Lyca number a relative uses in Europe. Both work the same way here, and doctorSIM has handled prepaid recharges since 2006.
Recharge Lyca in the US or send it abroad
For your own line, use Lyca United States. Lyca also runs prepaid networks in Lyca Spain, Lyca Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Australia. Each country is a separate Lyca network, so recharge the page matching where the SIM is registered, not where the money is coming from.
Recharging a family member's Lyca line abroad
If you're sending credit rather than topping up your own phone, you don't need the recipient's account login: the phone number is enough. Choose the country, enter the number, pick an amount and pay with a US card, PayPal or Apple Pay. The credit lands on the phone within seconds and you both get a receipt, so there's no need to call and confirm it arrived.
Frequently asked questions
Can I recharge a Lyca line in Spain or Italy from the US?
Yes. The recharge is tied to the phone number, so a US payment method reaches any of Lyca's 14 country networks.
Do I need my relative's Lyca account to send them credit?
No. Just their phone number; no password or account access is needed.
How is recharging Lyca USA different from Lyca in another country?
It isn't harder, just separate: each country runs its own Lyca network, so use the US page for a US line and the matching page for any other country.
How fast does the recharge arrive?
Within seconds of payment, any time of day, with an email receipt as proof.
