Lumbus eSIM Data Plans for Zambia

Lumbus does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed eSIM plan for Zambia. All Zambia‑specific offerings have a hard data limit. The plan marketed as “Zambia Unlimited” is capped at 3 GB per day; after the daily allowance is reached, data continues at a reduced speed of 1000 kbps until the plan expires.

Users who need more data can instead opt for a fixed data plan, such as the 20 GB for 30 days or the 10 GB for 30 days options. These plans give travelers a set amount of full‑speed data over a three‑month period and are typically a more cost‑effective solution for most trips to Zambia.

Lumbus does not offer a Zambia eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are available from this provider for Zambia.

Travelers who need to make voice or text communications can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may restrict or block particular VoIP services, so it is advisable to verify that the apps you rely on are accessible in Zambia before purchasing a plan.

Lumbus offers a total of 23 different data plans that are valid in Zambia. Seven of these plans are dedicated single‑country packages for Zambia only, while the remaining 16 are multi‑country data bundles that include Zambia among their coverage areas. The available plans vary in both pricing and data amounts, with prices ranging from about $10 up to almost $388. The data caps span from 1 GB to 20 GB, and plan durations extend between 3 days and one year. Some packages feature a daily data cap (approximately four of the plans) whereas the majority provide a fixed data allocation (nineteen of the plans). All plans that are marked as multi‑country or with special conditions allow tethering.
