About Lumbus

Who is Lumbus?

Lumbus is a London based travel eSIM startup, run by Lumbus Technologies Limited, a company registered in England and Wales in October 2025. It sells data plans for over 200 countries and regions, from small 1 GB packs through to unlimited bundles.

The experience is app first: one tap install and activation through its iOS and Android apps, or a web checkout with no signup at all. Hotspot is included, and top ups can extend an active plan.

It is the youngest company in our comparison, under a year old, with only a handful of Trustpilot reviews so far, all positive. Its pricing is why it is here: Lumbus plans regularly appear high in our price per GB rankings, and its registration details are fully public at Companies House, which most small rivals cannot say.
