What the friend usually gets
The new customer usually comes to the refer-a-friend page because they want the discounted sign-up route. For eligible new customers, the main attraction is normally 50% off the SIM-only plan for the first 3 months.
That is why most people do not care whether the mechanic is called a code, a link, or an invite. They simply want the working referral path that shows the reduced price before they pay.

What the referrer may get
The referrer side is separate. A person sharing the invite may receive a reward after the referred customer meets the qualifying conditions, although reward timing and terms can change.
That means the friend should focus first on their own checkout price, while the person sharing the link should check the current referral terms for any reward rules, waiting periods, or payout conditions.
Why users search for ‘refer a friend’
- They want the discount but are not sure whether they need a code or a link.
- They have been sent a referral and want to know if it is legitimate.
- They want to understand what happens to the person who shares the link.
- They want to know whether existing customers can use the same offer.
How the journey usually works
A referral link is shared
The new customer starts with a referral route rather than the standard sign-up path.
The customer chooses a plan
Plan choice still matters, so check calls, data, eSIM, roaming, and any international features you care about.
The discount should appear during checkout
Do not rely on post-purchase corrections. Confirm the price before you pay.
The referral reward side is handled later
If the programme includes a reward for the referrer, that normally follows the qualifying conditions rather than appearing instantly.

Common questions
Lebara refer-a-friend FAQs
These are the questions people usually ask before they switch. If anything affects your decision, verify it during checkout or on the provider’s support pages before you pay.
Does the friend need to type a code manually?
Usually no. In most journeys the referral route is driven by the link, so the important part is starting from the referral path and confirming the reduced price at checkout.
Is the offer mainly for new customers?
Yes, that is usually the case. Existing customers should check their own account for current offers instead of assuming the new-customer referral flow will apply.
Does the referrer reward appear straight away?
Not usually. Reward timing often depends on qualifying conditions and can take longer than the initial sign-up itself.
