Cancel Lebara: Easy Method
What is Lebara
Overview
Lebara is an international mobile virtual network operator offering prepaid SIMs, data bundles and roaming services aimed at international callers and travellers.
The brand operates in multiple countries and provides voice, SMS and data products, including eSIMs and app-based bundles.
Services in Nigeria
Lebara Nigeria has a local presence with a retail/contact point in Lagos but public cancellation terms are not fully detailed on the Nigerian site.
Where local terms are not published, users should follow documented global guidance and contact local support directly for confirmation.
How to cancel Lebara
Available methods
Corporate guidance indicates cancellation is handled by phone or chat only; written methods such as email or letter are typically not accepted.
Local Nigeria pages do not specify a different method, so phone or chat is the recommended first route.
Step-by-step cancellation (recommended)
- Find your customer details: mobile number, account name and any customer or SIM reference.
- Call or start a chat with Lebara support during service hours. Corporate standard hours: Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
- Tell the agent you want to cancel the service and confirm the effective cancellation date and any notice period.
- Ask the agent to confirm whether your number will be retained, whether billing stops immediately or at the end of a notice period, and whether you qualify for any refund.
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation (SMS or email) and keep a screenshot or reference number for your records.
What happens when you cancel
Service access and billing
Service typically continues until the effective cancellation date agreed with the agent. Billing usually continues until that date.
Standard corporate notice period is two months to the end of the month unless otherwise agreed.
Number retention and suspension
Lebara offers suspension (pausing) options that can retain your number and halt billing for up to 12 months in some markets.
If you need to keep your number, ask the agent about suspension or porting options before cancelling.
Will I get a refund?
General refund policy
For standard prepaid plans, there is generally no refund once the service or bundle has been activated or used.
Cancellations after activation do not typically result in a credit or refund for remaining airtime or bundles.
Exceptions and cooling-off
- eSIM / Travel App purchases: a 14-day right to cancel and receive a refund exists if the eSIM or data plan has not been activated or used (applies to purchases via Travel or Go App in relevant jurisdictions).
- Always confirm with the agent whether your purchase qualifies for a refund and ask for specific conditions in writing.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria
General rights
Nigerian consumers have rights to transparent pricing and the ability to make complaints about telecom services to regulators.
Specific statutory refund or cooling-off rules for digital telecom purchases vary and were not publicly specified for Lebara Nigeria.
What you can do
- Request clear, written confirmation of any fees, notice periods and refund rules before you cancel.
- If you cannot resolve an issue with Lebara, escalate to the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) for complaints about telecom providers.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some users report helpful and supportive customer service interactions where agents resolved issues satisfactorily.
Such positive outcomes often reference clear agent communication and prompt confirmations.
Negative reports
Public reviews include numerous complaints about billing errors, unexpected charges, refund difficulties and poor or slow customer support.
Users also report problems with SIM activation, porting and promotional calls; consider documenting everything during contact to reduce dispute risk.
Documentation checklist
What to have ready
- Your mobile number and SIM details (ICCID if available).
- Account name, billing address and any customer or order reference numbers.
- Proof of purchase or recharge receipts and screenshots of the app/account if applicable.
What to request during cancellation
- Ask for an agent reference number or chat transcript.
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation date, any notice period and whether a refund or credit applies.
Common mistakes
During cancellation attempts
Assuming email or letter cancellations will be accepted is a frequent error; corporate guidance requires phone or chat to avoid misunderstandings.
Another mistake is not confirming the effective cancellation date and continuing to expect immediate billing stops without written confirmation.
After cancellation
Failing to keep confirmation evidence (SMS, email or chat transcript) can make disputes difficult to resolve.
Not checking whether you needed to port your number before cancellation can result in losing the number unexpectedly.
