Works perfectly abroad, pretty easy set-up, but now I'm back home and it won't connect me to my home network. Very frustrating. I think I'll have to remove the sticker from my sim card, ill be pretty upset if the sticker stops working when I'm abroad. I've tried restarting my phone, re-installed the app, removing my sim card, leaving phone off, manually switching back home, nothing works. Now I just get these irritating notifications saying it keeps switching from home sim to knowroaming sim to back to home and then kr non-stop. Please advise.

Can't send SMS and it doesn't say this anywhere. So pretty much useless nowadays. Can't remove CC, buying a "pack" uses credits which is dumb. Can't remove credit card from app. Just avoid it and pickup a sim in the country you are visiting.

Happy with the SIM card (not sticker) in my dual sim phone. Would love the option to disable the voicemail service

The app asks you to purchase credits in 25USD increments. When you purchase it you can then purchase packages. Purchasing a package will USE DATA FROM YOUR CREDITS. You can't purchase on wifi. Also credits get used mysteriously even on data package. Can't deleted CC # from APP. Be warned

Great service and great app. I had some issues with my unlimited data packages but the company sorted it out very quickly. I will definitely use this app again when roaming.

Awesome app and service

Chris Anderson June 19, 2017

This app does not work as advertised. It's not always automatic, and it won't switch back and forth to wifi as it should. Customer service is good, but the process is too depending on it. Do something else. Not SIM sticker. Trust.

You guys need to read the device admin API docs. Edit: or add instructions instead lol

KnowRoaming doesn't work on dual sim phones....No such info on their website only got told so my a very rude tech support and yes after I'd purchased the sim!!!!!

Mike C June 2, 2017

Gets the job done, with lots of issues and glitches.

Best roaming app in the world. We need more of these

Sakata Shuzo February 21, 2017

It'd be perfect if only 4G was available!!

App works as expected KATLA27 is a code for 30% off purchase + free $5 data/voice Credits

Read if u must be contactable Once Knowroaming SIM is active, you can no longer receive calls on your original number. When u return home knowroaming sim is disabled and your original sim becomes active again. The optional Reachme service forwards calls to your Knowroaming number, but sometimes fails to deactivate when back home, forwarding your calls to the now deactivated knowroaming sim without you knowing. If you need to be contactable, buy the standalone sim and use a dual sim phone. Good roaming rates and coverage otherwise.

Epic Fail Switching on Knowroaming is a constant parade of mail to their support team, fiddling with sim settings and data network settings. Nothing easy simple or often successful. Tried it on 4 trips to Canada and never really worked. This trip it is txt that will not work. Support said that the network team is looking at the issue and after 7 days no news End of the day not a viable product

Works great for world traveler I've used this is Australia, Germany, India, South Korea, Hong Kong and England. Always works for me and now free WhatsApp access through KnowRoaming!

Adrian Borrmann October 12, 2016

Good service, frustrating billing The service itself works well. Data is reasonably fast & reliable in Europe. The way they charge you feels a bit scammy: you can only load your account in $25 increments. So if you want a week of unlimited data (7 days x $7.99) you don't pay $55.93. Rather you load $75 onto your account, of which only 55.93 would be used. So the actual cost can be much higher than advertised if you're not careful. Otherwise, decent service!

Happy traveler This app and service is a must have for frequent travelers. So far used it in many different countries quite happily. Also their customer support is exceptional. They respond fast with clear information and follow up regularly. Their support should definitely be a good reason to use their service.

Best and must app First I couldn't turn it on. But then their support team really supported me.Once it started, I didn't need to worry to change sim cards or find a hotspots. I bought a week unlimited data plan which works so great.My job requires me to travel abroad a lot. Now I don't need to worry about my phone.I love knowroaming app and its small device.

Mariano KGzz September 22, 2016

Excellent service, I have used it in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Norway, France, Netherlands, US and Brasil without any problem, the connection its very reliable and the prices for unlimited packages it's better than every other company.

Slow Internet but beats roaming charges.

Connie Yoo October 22, 2016

Scam You are supposed to get $10 credit but nothing and can't even uninstall this stupid app

Vincent Picard December 10, 2015

Not for business travelers Only the telephone part kind of works but then it's impossible to have your normal number working once it's lock on roaming. For me, it didn't work in following countries: USA, Philippines, China, Cyprus, Dubai, and Jordan. The only place it worked was in Brazil at 28 US$ for 54 MB data. I had to removed the know roaming sticker from my Sim card while in Mexico cause it wouldn't let me revert back to my normal Sim card number and I needed to get an important call,even if I completely disabled the function

Jc Ripley August 4, 2016

Does not work. Listen, I gave these guys a try twice over a couple years. The first time wasn't smooth so they offered a new promo saying things were better. Went to the USA and it was complete garbage. SO many steps messing with settings etc. You have to be a computer scientist to remember it all.....AND I couldn't get it to work multiple tries. I'm not computer illiterate either. Don't bother, just pay the roaming fees, they aren't that much anymore.

Tom March 19, 2016

Great service - great savings! Attaching the sticker was a little tricky, but once done there is no more swapping SIM's or finding local providers when travelling! Their support is great too. Particularly good for organizations where techies can attach the sticker for users who can then just run the app to invoke the service when travelling.

A Almeida July 30, 2016

Dont waste your time Inconsistent connections and mixed messages. Trust me I have had very little luck with this app. Its not worth the time tinkering with it constantly . This morning I had $10.00 left on my plan so I purchased a $ 7.99 UNLIMITED data plan for the US.....I used it for about 1.5 hours and reveived a message to top up my account. Really? Rip off peeled off the sticker so done with it.One more thing for CDN customers the packages are in US dollars...not such a great deal. I know one thing its a rip off.

Works well, but no Pokemon Go This is a convenient way to maintain service when traveling between multiple countries without having to juggle multiple SIM cards. However, for technical reasons relating to Niantic's anti-cheating measures, Pokemon Go currently doesn't work with it.

Brian Gillespie December 1, 2015

OK when works I travel to the USA frequently. On the last few trips I have had NO MMS or SMS services for at least the 1st day. In the past support was helpful. This trip, not so much. I have had to return to my primary carrier yet again. Might as well stay there. Prevented me from making local calls while roaming on all carriers, a bussiness nightmare. Allthe savings have been eaten by calls to tech support :(

Karsten waldmeister August 4, 2016

Good overall Worked well in several countries with occasional issues. SMS a big mess though as support was stopped half way which gave me lots of headaches. Servive support very timely and usually helpful

Kevin McGrath May 6, 2016

Home Please! Seems to work ok in various countries if you just want to check email & use Whatsapp and make the odd call.Definitely not suitable for high useage or important timely business.I have trouble with it on returning to Home country..sometime takes an hour & 6or 7 restarts of my phone to get it out of Abroad mode back to Home sim..very frustrating. Have definitely saved $ on roaming but given unreliable return to home sim I am considering pulling the sticker after my credit runs out.Needs to be much more stable.

Chris V June 30, 2016

Great Company! Great customer service! Been looking for something like this for a while now. They've gone above and beyond helping get my service up and running. Highly recommended if you travel internationally!

Hugo Beaulieu May 9, 2016

Genius idea, but tricky It's an awesome tool when it works. It's a bit tricky to figure out and get working, but once it works it's awesome!

Elizabeth Bourque May 26, 2016

If you want to use your phone when travelling, you need this Great investment, I've been able to use this on multiple trips, over three continents, and the rates and data speeds just keep getting better.

Chung Leo May 17, 2016

Cannot uninstall the app!

jen blaze August 2, 2016

Great App and amazing service!

Shiraz Iqbal March 1, 2016

Love it.

David McDonald October 28, 2015

Fantastic app. This is the best app I have used while travelling out of the country. I have used this in 3 countries now and it connects quickly to networks for both voice and data, is easy to use, and greatly reduces the cost of voice calls and data. I have used SIM cards from two competing companies and found the KnowRoaming sticker to be much better. I have used KnowRoaming on both a Moto G phone and a Moto X phone and not noticed any deterioration in performance.
