eSIM in North America

Data does the heavy lifting in all three countries. You'll follow Google Maps through freeway interchanges, call an Uber outside arrivals, tap into the New York subway with your phone, and message hotels in Mexico on WhatsApp, where it's the default way to talk. Even parking meters and restaurant menus expect you to scan a code.

Buy your eSIM for North America before you fly, install it at home over WiFi, and skip the airport kiosks. When you cross from the United States into Canada — or into Mexico on the wider option — the same eSIM keeps working: no SIM swapping, no hunting for a phone store.

Staying connected in North America

Practical advice for using mobile data in North America.

1

Pick the coverage that fits your trip

Staying north of the Rio Grande? The USA & Canada option covers it. Adding Mexico City, Cancun, or a Baja road trip? Choose the option that includes Mexico. Both work the same way — one eSIM, automatic reconnection at the border.

2

Install before you fly

Tap the install link in your Lumbus email at home on WiFi and your phone sets the eSIM up itself — or scan the QR code if you prefer — then switch the line on when you land at JFK, Pearson, or Cancun. Data is ready at baggage claim.

3

Save offline maps for parks

Cell signal is famously patchy deep in Yellowstone, Banff, and rural Baja California. Download offline areas in Google Maps before leaving the city so turn-by-turn directions keep working through the quiet stretches.

4

Cross borders, keep your data

Driving Seattle to Vancouver, or San Diego into Tijuana on the option that includes Mexico? The same eSIM connects to a local network on the other side automatically. No SIM swap, no border-town phone shop, no new setup screens.

5

Hotspot the whole car

On long hauls like Toronto to Chicago or the Pacific Coast Highway, turn on your phone's hotspot and share your North America eSIM with the tablets in the back seat. One plan keeps everyone entertained.
