Using the Lobster Care portal
When you log in to the Lobster website you have complete control over your Lobster
service. You can view how much data you’ve used up and how much of your plan is
remaining; purchase additional plans; park or unpark your plan; restart your plan;
top-up credit or data; change your auto-renew settings; manage the additional services
on your Lobster number such as voicemail and data limits; view your usage data; check
your receipts and update your details. All just one or two clicks away.
Simply click on care.lobster.es or click Log in at the top of the Lobster website. Use
the email you provided when you registered and the password you set up and you’re good
to go.
Don’t worry, we’re all a bit forgetful sometimes. If you ever forget your password just
click Oops forgot my password on the login screen and we’ll email you a link where you
can set a new one.
Managing your account
It’s good to keep your details up-to-date so we can continue to provide you with a tip
top service. You can change your address at any time by going to Account Details and
clicking Change.
Changed bank? New card issued? If you want to change the card details registered to your
Lobster account, it’s easy! Just go to Account Details and click Change Card details.
Enter your new details using our secure WorldPay link and, as long as the new details
are valid, they’ll be updated straight away.
Should you ever need a copy of a Lobster receipt, you can download one at any point for
any of your purchases. Simply click on the Receipts menu to see your recent purchases,
then click View Receipt. It’s that easy! The default language is English, but if you
need one in Spanish you can change your receipt language preferences in your Account
Details.
If you want to get an itemised list of the calls you made, messages you sent or data you
used simply click on the Receipts menu and click View breakdown next to the number you
want to see itemisation for. You can filter by date period or type e.g. see only use
when you were abroad. You’ll be able to see where you called, what Operator you were
logged onto at the time, and how much it cost if it was not included in your plan. Neat,
huh?
Managing your plan
Changing your plan once logged in is easy! Just press the three dots on the top right of
your plan summary, then click Change Plan in the options. The change will be processed
straight away, as soon as payment is taken.
If you love Lobster as much as we do and want to put an extra plan on your account just
click on the add new plan box next to your current plan summary. Then just choose your
plan and click confirm, and we’ll send your new SIM will be with you in a couple of
days. Once the order is processed your new number will appear in the overview, and you
can click Activate SIM as soon as you’ve received it to start using your plan.
If you’ve used up your data quicker than normal you can restart your plan and your
monthly allowances will kick in straight away.
We’ll take the payment at the time you restart and that day will become your new renewal date. Simply press the three dots on the top right of your plan summary and click Restart Plan. Payment will be taken and your new plan will kick in straight away.

With Lobster you have full control, all the time. Brilliant! So if you want to make sure
your plan renews automatically each month, or stop it so that it doesn’t you can manage
it yourself at any time. Simply press the three dots on the top right of your plan
summary, and click on Stop renewal or Auto-renew to set up your preferred option. No
strings attached. Simple. Easy. Any time.
Most of your mobile use will be included in your plan. However the following services
aren’t included in our plans, so you’ll need credit to use them:
Using your phone outside the EU and selected destinations.
Calling international numbers (other than those included in your plan)
Spanish premium numbers and special numbers (like 901 and 902 numbers)

To add credit to your mobile simply click the Top Up button below the plan you wish to
top up. You can choose between €5, €10 and €20 and as soon as payment is taken the new
credit balance will show in your plan summary.
We all have data heavy months some time, so if you run out early you can add some more
to get you through until your plan expires. Simply press the three dots on the top right
of your plan summary, then click Add data. Pick the data bolt-on you want, and as soon
as payment is taken your new data allowance will kick in.
If you’ve topped up your data with a bolt-on then you’ll see the usage for your bolt-on once the data for your plan has expired. So it isn’t confusing, you’ll see a little lightning bolt next to the circle to remind you it’s a BOLT-on (excuse the pun!).

Features and extras
We have full voicemail services, absolutely free, so that you never miss a call. To set
it up simply press the three dots on the top right of your plan summary and click
Settings. Scroll down to Voicemail, enter a PIN number of your choice so you can access
your voicemail wherever you are, and then press ‘On’ and save your settings. Your
mailbox will be activated straight away and you can call 717 from your Lobster number to
personalise your mailbox, as you’ll probably want to leave a personalised greeting on
there.
To access your voicemail from another number simply dial +34 711000717. Your mailbox number will be your Lobster mobile number and you can use the PIN you set to access your messages.
Remember you will need to set up a diversion on your phone for calls to go to voicemail when your phone is off or you’re on another call. If you’re not sure how to do this just call us on 711.

"To help you keep in control of your spending, you can restrict the time of calls made
from your Lobster mobile. You may want to restrict international calls, or data roaming
when you leave Europe. All of this can be done by pressing the three dots on the top
right of your plan summary and clicking Settings. You’ll get a description of each
feature and can change your settings by pressing on and off. Don’t forget to scroll down
and click Save Settings to save your preferences.

So, this bit’s neat – and especially useful if you’re heading abroad for an extended
break. You can ‘park’ your number at any time, no need to wait until the end of your
month. We’ll simply freeze it as well as any remaining unused data and credit balance
right there and then, for up to 9 months. While your number is frozen you won’t be able
to receive any calls or texts. You can unfreeze your number on your return, just like it
was before – same unused data, same credit balance – and enjoy the rest of the days you
had left in your month when you parked it first of all. If after 12 months you have not
unfrozen your plan, then sadly you’ll lose your number.
To park your number simply press the three dots on the top right of your plan summary and select Park number. Unparking is equally simple, just click Unpark at any point in the 9 months.
