Lüm Mobile Wi-Fi Calling Terms
Lüm Mobile is a digital only wireless service (the “Service”) that gives customers access to SaskTel’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 membership plans. 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:
- An allotment of Canada Data for data service while you are in Canada,
- the option to purchase additional Canada Data and Travel Data for roaming in the United States (“U.S.”), and Mexico (see Service Area and Coverage Details for exclusions),
- Unlimited calling and outgoing text (SMS) messages within Canada and from Canada to the U.S.,
- moving your existing phone number from another provider or establish a new number,

- Any changes to the membership will take effect when the membership renews.
- You must accept these terms before purchasing a membership plan.
- See lum.ca/plan for membership options.
- Memberships auto-renew with current in market pricing to help you avoid losing service. 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 any time, 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 data will be forfeited; and
- your wireless phone number will be forfeited.
- If you move your number to another provider, your membership will be cancelled, you will lose your myLüm account, and your 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 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.
- 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) or any successor or replacement for 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.

- Sent and received text messages have a character limit that will vary according to the 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.

- Rollover data is used before membership data.
- If a membership expires but is renewed within 60 days, rollover data will still be available.
- Top up data can be purchased if you run out of data before your membership renews. Top up data does not rollover to the next membership term. Top up data is used after rollover data and membership data are used up.

- Change notification settings
- View your usage records (calls, texts, data sessions)
