Lüm Mobile is a digital only wireless service (the "Service") that gives customers access to Lüm’s wireless network to make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, and use data. These are the Lüm Mobile terms of service. Customers can manage their own account by purchasing memberships and then data as needed. Use of the Service requires payment in advance.
“Us”, “we”, “our” or "Lüm” means Lüm Mobile; “you” or “your” means the person purchasing wireless service from Lüm Mobile.
Included in your membership is:
the option to purchase Canada Data for calling, messaging and data service in Canada, and Travel Data for roaming in the United States ("U.S."), and Mexico (see Service Area and Coverage Details for exclusions),
moving your existing phone number from another provider or establish a new number
service activation with no additional charge,
one SIM card or eSIM with your first membership,
access to the Lüm Member Forum for support,
unlimited incoming text (SMS) message, and
calling features including Call Display and access to Call Forwarding (universal/busy/no answer), Call Waiting, and Three-way calling.
Membership purchase does not include data.
You must purchase Canada Data with your first membership purchase.
You must accept these terms before purchasing a membership.
See lum.ca/plan for membership options.
Memberships auto-renew with current in market pricing to help you avoid losing your data balance. You can opt-out of membership auto-renewal in your myLüm account. Your payment card details are kept in your account for future purchases; however, it is your responsibility to ensure that payment card information is kept up to date.
If your membership expires, your account will be suspended and you’ll lose access to wireless services through Lüm. You’ll need to renew your membership to access your data and resume your service.
If you cancel your membership at anytime, or if your membership is expired for 60 days, the following will automatically occur:
your myLüm account will be terminated.
you will not be able to use any services,
your purchased data will be forfeited; and
your wireless phone number will be forfeited.
If you move your phone number to another provider, your membership will be cancelled, you will lose your myLüm account, and your purchased data will be forfeited.
Only customers with an active membership can purchase and use data or other add-ons.
Memberships can be cancelled at anytime, but no refunds will be provided. All purchases for Lüm Mobile are non-refundable.
Your payment information is saved in your account for future purchases so anyone with your password can purchase memberships or data on your behalf and you specifically agree to those purchases. You are responsible for use of your account and all purchases made through it. Share your password only with those permitted to make purchases on your behalf. You agree that Lüm has no liability of any kind relating to your use of your myLüm account or the use of anyone whom you allow to use your account.
Memberships are non-transferrable and are for use by the person who opened the account, or their immediate family only.
The membership fee does not include 9-1-1 fees or taxes.
Once you create an account you have 15 days to purchase a membership. After 15 days, the account will be deleted if a membership has not been purchased.
Once you have purchased a membership, you have 1 year to activate your service. If the service has not been activated after 1 year, the account will be deleted without notice and no refunds will be provided.
Customers must reside in Saskatchewan and have a billing and shipping address within the province to sign up for the Service.
You must bring your own phone. Lüm Mobile is not responsible for the setup, operation, or maintenance of your phone. It is your responsibility to ensure that your phone is compatible with our network and that it complies with the rules and regulations of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). Lüm Mobile provides no warranty or promise of any kind for your phone. To check your phone eligibility, go to lum.ca/bringphone.
If at any time during your membership with Lüm you cease to meet the eligibility requirements specific to the Service to which you are subscribed, then Lüm Mobile may alter your service, up to and including termination, to bring your Service into compliance with your eligibility. Lüm will notify you when such a change has been made.
Your phone and its software must meet minimum Lüm network standards. Our network standards will be updated sometimes, and you may no longer be able to use the service without upgrading your software or device.
Once you have a membership, you need to purchase Canadian Data, the Talk and Text add-on and/or Travel Data to make phone calls, send messages and use data services. When you talk, send a text message or use data, the applicable data cost is deducted from your data balance unless you have the Talk and Text add-on.
Calls and text messages made while using Wi-Fi Calling are charged the same as all other calls and text messages.
Your data balance does not expire while you have an active membership, but once a membership expires, any data remaining expires 60 days after your membership end date. You cannot use data that you’ve purchased without an active membership. When you renew your membership - any data you have in your balance will carry over.
When you are getting close to using up your data, we will send you a notification (unless you chose to opt-out of the notification). If you run out of data, you will not be able to use any services. You will need to recharge your data balance to resume your Service. If you have the Talk and Text add-on you can still make and receive calls and texts. If you run out of data, 9-1-1 calls can still be made.
File attachments such as pictures and video sent through a text messaging app are converted to Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) and are not considered text messages (SMS). MMS messages are deducted from your data balance. Your phone may covert other messages to MMS as well.
Sent and received text messages have a character limit that will vary according to the customer's phone. This limit automatically includes the sender's return address, which may vary in length. Messages longer than the character limit will be split and charged as multiple messages.
Lüm Mobile attempts to deliver text messages for up to twenty-four (24) hours. If the recipient's phone is off or unreachable for longer than 24 hours, the message is deleted from the Lüm Mobile system and not delivered.
Partial minutes are rounded up to full minutes
Data purchases cannot be transferred to another customer
Auto-recharge can be turned on in your myLüm account to automatically purchase data for you when your balance is close to running out or based on a schedule that you create.

Linking with Lüm lets you add other members onto your myLüm account, so you can manage multiple accounts from one place. You can decide if the linked account has access to manage their service in their myLüm account and who is responsible for paying for charges on the linked account.
Linking with other members does not mean you share or pool data and memberships – everyone still purchases and uses their own membership and data.
If a linked account is given access to myLüm, the primary account will not receive any notifications on behalf of the linked member. If a linked account does not have access to their myLüm account, the primary account will receive email notifications on behalf of the linked member.
If a payment card is not added for a linked account, all purchases will be charged to the primary account payment card. The primary account is accountable for all purchases made by the linked account.
You can remove a linked member from your account at any time. This does not cancel the member’s service.
If you allow your account to be linked, the primary account that linked you will always have full access to your myLüm account and the ability to:
Make purchases for your account
Make changes to your membership, add-ons and auto-pay
Pause or cancel your service
Change notification settings
View your usage records (calls, texts, data sessions)
View your personal information & purchase history
Remove your myLüm access
If you allow your account to be linked, the primary account that linked you can remove your access to myLüm. Only the primary account holder can reestablish your myLüm access.
9-1-1 Emergency service is available where network connectivity is available in Canada. You must provide your location and call back number as these details are not automatically available to 9-1-1 service operators. 9-1-1 may not always work, and you agree that Lüm is not responsible if it doesn’t.
A 9-1-1 fee applies to all memberships purchased for Lüm Mobile. The fee is an amount we must pay to the 9-1-1 service operator for 9-1-1 to work on your phone. This fee will be charged in addition to the membership fee whenever a membership is purchased. The 9-1-1 fee is charged for the total number of months that the membership is valid. If a membership is cancelled, any unused 9-1-1 fee over $5.00 will be refunded back to the payment card on the account.
We are not responsible for the operation of public alerting systems, including the Alert Ready System. We do not control the content, timing and/or who can receive messages. See alertready.ca/wireless for current alerts and further details.
You can use the Service within Lüm’s coverage areas in Saskatchewan or areas served by companies with whom we have roaming agreements in the rest of Canada.
You can call and text numbers in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. You cannot receive international calls and text messages from countries other than Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. The U.S. includes Alaska, Hawaii and the country of Guam. All other U.S. territories and holdings are excluded.
Roaming is available in the U.S. and Mexico where Lüm has agreements with roaming partners. Coverage areas, and the connectivity in these areas, will depend on the availability of network facilities which is subject to change from time to time, without notice.
The services of Lüm or any other carrier are provided on an as-is/as-available basis and without guarantee or warranty for the performance, availability, coverage, uninterrupted use, security or operation of such services.
Where you roam on any other wireless carrier’s network, you have no relationship with the roaming carrier and they have no obligation to you. They are not responsible for any problems you might experience while roaming and that you won’t make any claims of any kind against anyone as a result of roaming.
The types of services available for your use while roaming are dependent on the services made available by the other carrier on their network and the specific terms of the roaming agreement in place between Lüm and the carrier. Unless you opt out, you will receive notification from us when you use your Service outside of Canada, providing you with information about roaming rates for that country.
