About the included bonding allowance

Every Niña and Pinta includes a 100 GB starter bonding allowance for Lumbus Connect, valid for three months — enough to set up, test and run your first bonded streams. Lumbus Connect is used when combining two or more connections. The SIM allowance is sold separately.

Lumbus Connect combines two or more connections into one reliable stream.

Your Lumbus Connect bonding allowance comes with its own sign-in — set up on your Lumbus encoder, or sent to you if you use your own hardware. Your balance lives there; the Lumbus app and dashboard do not show it. Packs are bought from Plan & add-ons on the web.

If a pack runs out mid-stream you get a 20 GB bonding allowance free, so you can finish and buy your next pack — nothing is cut off.
