There is no expiry date on a Lucky Mobile SIM card. This means that you can keep your SIM card for as long as you want and still be able to use it without any problems.
In the instance that your Lucky Mobile account has been inactive with a $0 balance for more than 120 days, the number and SIM card would be deactivated.
It is possible to extend the lifespan of your SIM card if it is properly cared for—it could potentially last up to 5 years. However, different factors can influence your SIM card's lifespan and reduce its longevity.
Restart your phone. If you are only having issues with data, you may need to update your APN settings. If you have brought your phone number to Lucky Mobile from a different provider, it may take some time for your SIM Card to activate. Make sure your device network settings are set to “Automatic”.
You should also try making and receiving calls to check if the SIM card is working properly. If you are unable to make or receive calls, or if there is a drop in the sound quality of your calls, it could be a sign of a damaged SIM card.
With Lucky Mobile, there are no data overage charges.
No surprises. If your usage exceeds the data included in your plan or Add-On, we'll send you a text message with a link to add a Service Pass should you wish to use more data.
Lucky Mobile is a low-cost, prepaid cellular services provider. A subsidiary of Bell Canada, it operates on the Bell Mobility network.
The expiry date of an unused or inactivated SIM card is usually listed on the packaging it came with. So make sure you always check that out when buying a new SIM card.
If the sound quality of your calls suddenly decreases or becomes garbled, it could indicate a problem with your SIM card. A delay in receiving text messages or making calls could also mean that there is a problem with your SIM card.
It costs money and it would be too expensive to connect phone numbers to local SIM cards indefinitely. Most telecom providers will block your local SIM card after 6 or 12 months of inactivity to make the telephone number available for use again by a new customer.
There are no ways to recover or to reactivate SIM card that expires, the only solution is you have to purchase another prepaid SIM card to continue using its service.
