P.S.: Another significant difference between a light and a full MVNO is that the latter has its own MCC/MNC tuple (Lyca uses 311-960 in the US) and SIM cards are attached to it rather than to the underlying MNO's tuple (IMSIs start with the MCC/MNC tuple of the issuing operator). The differing MCC/MNC tuple of the SIM card (or rather its IMSI) and the underlying network will cause most phones showing the roaming icon and in consequence disabling data since comparing the MCC/MNC tuple of the SIM card with that of the current network is how a phone determines if it's on roaming or on its home network.
