How to read and understand Lebara’s coverage map
Lebara’s coverage map uses different colours to show signal strength in each area. We’ve rounded up what each colour means and what you can expect from your service in the table below.| Colour/shade | What this means for you |
| Green = good | Anywhere that’s green indicates that Lebara’s coverage is good. This means that service is strong, and calls, texts, and mobile data are reliable and working well. |
| Orange = good outdoors | If you’re spotting areas of orange, this means that service is best outdoors, and you’re likely to struggle with reception indoors. |
| Red = limited | With red areas, you can expect coverage to be weak or limited. This can cause possible issues with phone calls, slow data, and can even mean no service at all. |
| Grey = no coverage | Areas shaded in grey show that there is no coverage from Lebara at present. |
