Why you don't need to tender with LGfL

LGfL is a Central Procurement Body (CPB) and has already procured the goods and services on behalf of the thousands of customers it serves across the UK.

This means that your school, MAT or other public body (e.g. a Local Authority) can directly award to LGfL and be procurement compliant. This can save your school or MAT a lot of time, money, and effort.

More information about LGfL's special procurement status is set out in our Procurement Guide.

    LGfL Mobile Data is provided by O2

    SIMs are truly unlimited with no data cap and no throttling of the connection when you reach a certain limit

    Due to the nature of 4G services we are unable to offer a guarantee of coverage in individual locations. However, the O2 4G service covers 99% of the UK population with indoor coverage. Customers are advised to check the O2 Coverage Checker in advance of ordering. If you are experiencing ongoing issues after delivery, please contact us to discuss.

    Orders for below 50 SIMs and devices, not requiring labelling, should be delivered within 3 working days of receipt of the correctly completed order form and PO. Orders for 51 – 400 SIMs should be delivered within 7 working days. Larger orders may take up to 12 working days to deliver.

    You can use the LGfL-provided O2 data SIMs in any devices that support data SIMs and are not locked to an alternative network

    You should be able to use the SIMs in any 4G router, dongle or MiFi unit that is not tied to a particular network. This includes those devices which were provided by the DFE and for which the SIM cards have now expired. Please see this link for how to reset the DFE devices to use with a new SIM card.

    The Lenovo Chromebook and Winbook 100e and 300e supplied under Bridge The Divide do not have a SIM card slot. To use the Mobile Data Service with these devices you will need to purchase MiFi Units or 4G Dongles.

    SIMs are limited to UK domestic use only.

    We are able to support e-SIM. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

    LGfL will provide support in the case of lost or damaged SIMS or faulty Mifi units within the warranty period. For technical assistance please refer to your IT Support team or 3rd Party Support provider

      LGfL Mobile Data SIMs are standard, unfiltered O2 data connections. In order to provide filtering and protection to users, we recommend the deployment of LGfL Home Protect on managed devices.

      We recommend keeping a record of the SIM card numbers and who they will be issued to. You should then simply be able to insert them into your Mifi unit or other SIM-enabled devices to connect to the internet.

      Your MiFi devices come pre-configured, with the SSID written on them. All that you need to do is insert an activated SIM card and connect your device to the hotspot.

      Each Mifi Device has a unique SSID and password which is printed on the label. You should search for available wireless networks and connect using these credentials.

      1. Sign in to your Chromebook.

      2. Insert the dongle into one of the USB ports.

      3. Wait for the dongle to start up, then connect to the network.

      If this does not work then further information is available on connecting Chromebooks to a mobile data network with a dongle.
