KnowRoaming Helps Save The Overseas Roaming Bill

knowroaming

What’s most interesting about KnowRoaming’s offering is the SIM “sticker” concept. Your starter kit includes a sticker and an applicator, which you use to literally stick KnowRoaming’s device directly on top of the SIM that came with your phone. The sticker is incredibly thin — it’s designed to permanently sit atop your existing card, with enough clearance to fit into your phone. Of course, as with any fresh-off-the-line product, I experienced some hiccups (folded or bunched-up stickers) when trying to squeeze prototype stickers into certain smartphones (more on that below), but once you’ve successfully installed the device in your phone, you’re good to go.

KnowRoaming is designed to minimize hassle when it’s time to switch networks. While you’re in your home country, the sticker sits dormant. It’s more or less invisible to your phone, and all calls and data will be handled exclusively by your original SIM. When you leave the country, though, the device should switch to the new network automatically. You’ll receive a text message detailing local rates; your incoming calls will be forwarded to your roaming number (outgoing calls appear with your home number); and after you add “knowroaming” as your APN, you’ll be ready to surf at 3G speeds anywhere you go.
