This draft has been resubmitted and is currently awaiting re-review.

Submission declined on 24 October 2025 by Bonadea (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

KnowRoaming is a Canadian telecommunications company that provides international mobile data connectivity through eSIM technology. It originally gained attention for its "Global SIM Sticker", which allowed travelers to connect to local networks while abroad.^[1]

History

KnowRoaming was founded in 2011 in Toronto, Canada, by Gregory Gundelfinger and Mathew Stein.^[2]

The company introduced its Global SIM Sticker in 2013, a micro-thin overlay applied to an existing SIM card that automatically switched devices to local networks when traveling. The product was covered by technology publications such as Forbes and Engadget, which highlighted its approach to reducing roaming fees.^[1]^[3]

As eSIM technology became widespread, KnowRoaming transitioned to a digital app-based platform. By 2019, the company’s offerings were focused entirely on eSIM connectivity.^[4]

Products and services

KnowRoaming provides prepaid eSIM data plans for travelers, available in global or regional formats with durations from 7 to 180 days.^[5] Plans are typically data-only and include tethering and hotspot support where carrier agreements permit. Independent outlets describe KnowRoaming as a practical solution for travelers seeking straightforward short-term connectivity across multiple regions.^[6] Reviews note that longer-duration plans are structured for users requiring extended international access.^[7]

Industry partnerships

KnowRoaming has been featured by MTN South Africa as a roaming and travel eSIM provider. MTN’s official site promotes KnowRoaming’s service for international travel, and its blog includes guides on using KnowRoaming’s eSIM platform.^[8]^[9]^[10]

Former ownership

In April 2024, Telna Inc. divested the KnowRoaming brand to eSimplified, a U.S.-based telecommunications solutions company.^[11] Franchise Magazine USA reported that the transaction was part of a strategy to expand KnowRoaming’s eSIM reach under new management.^[12]

Reception

Coverage of KnowRoaming in independent publications has focused on its technical approach to reducing roaming fees and facilitating global mobile access. A 2014 Forbes review called the company’s SIM technology “a clever way to save on roaming fees.”^[1] In 2024, TechRadar Pro described the eSIM product as suitable for short-term travel, while TalkAndroid reported consistent connectivity and simple activation.^[5]^[7]
