# 24/7 Support At Your Fingertips - We Answer Your Questions
> Connecting got you stuck? Our comprehensive troubleshooting guide has you covered with a range of FAQs. Contact KnowRoaming anytime for further assistance.
This is where you’ll find Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), answers and troubleshooting guides.
## Frequently asked questions
### About eSIMs
- **Can I make phone calls or send text messages with a KnowRoaming eSIM?** — KnowRoaming eSIMs offer mobile data, giving travelers fast, reliable internet and connectivity in over 200 destinations worldwide. With that data connection, you can use popular calling and messaging apps like WhatsApp and Facetime, as well as all your favorite apps.
For many travellers, this is the easiest and most cost-effective way to stay in touch: your KnowRoaming eSIM supplies the data, and your apps continue to work so that you can book rides or use maps to find your way around.
If you need to keep your regular phone number active for traditional SMS, KnowRoaming also works seamlessly on dual-SIM devices. You can keep your physical SIM card inserted with your home carrier for receiving calls or SMS codes (like two-factor authentication), while using your KnowRoaming eSIM for affordable international data. This dual setup ensures you never miss important texts or calls while avoiding the high cost of roaming.
- **Can I use an eSIM and physical SIM at the same time (dual SIM)?** — Yes, you can use an eSIM and a physical SIM at the same time, and this setup is called dual SIM. With a KnowRoaming eSIM, this feature gives you the best of both worlds: you can keep your home number active on your physical SIM card while enjoying affordable international data through your KnowRoaming eSIM.
Most modern smartphones, including the latest iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel devices, support dual SIM functionality. That means you can insert your usual carrier’s SIM card for calls, SMS, and two-factor authentication codes, while activating your KnowRoaming eSIM for fast, reliable data abroad. This setup is especially useful for travelers who:
• Want to avoid high roaming fees from their local carrier.
• Need to stay reachable on their primary number while abroad.
• Prefer to use data apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, or Viber for calls and messages.
With dual SIM, you can even choose which SIM handles data and which handles calls. For example, you might set your KnowRoaming eSIM as the primary data line, while your physical SIM stays active only for incoming SMS and voice calls.
- **How do I download the KnowRoaming app?** — The KnowRoaming app is the easiest way to buy, install, and manage your travel eSIMs. You can download it directly from the official app stores.
- **How do I receive calls and texts when using a travel eSIM?** — KnowRoaming eSIMs are data only, which means they give you fast internet access abroad but do not include a phone number for calls or SMS. However, you can keep your regular SIM active for calls and texts. Most phones support dual SIM. You can leave your home SIM in for calls and SMS, and set your KnowRoaming eSIM to handle data. That way you’ll still receive important messages on your regular number, for example, banking verification codes, two-factor authentication texts, or urgent calls.
With your KnowRoaming eSIM data, you can message and call through apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, FaceTime, Messenger, or Viber. This is often easier and avoids roaming fees for casual communication.
Dual SIM settings (iOS & Android):
On iPhone: Go to Settings > Cellular (or Mobile Data) → choose your eSIM for Data and your home SIM for Calls/SMS.
On Android: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs → set your Preferred SIM for Data and your home SIM for Calls/SMS.
Tip: If you don’t want unexpected roaming charges, switch off data on your home SIM and leave it active only for calls and texts.
- **How do I pay for my eSIM?** — With KnowRoaming, paying for your travel eSIM is quick and secure. All payments are processed through Stripe, one of the world’s leading online payment providers. You can pay with major credit and debit cards like Visa, or Mastercard.
If you have a promo code, you can enter it on the plans page before checkout. Your discount will be applied right away, and then you’ll be directed to Stripe to complete payment.
Once your payment is confirmed, your eSIM is emailed direct to your inbox as well as visible on the confirmation page or screen, ready to install.
Tip: Create a KnowRoaming account to securely save your payment details for faster checkout and easy top ups.
- **What is an eSIM?** — An eSIM is a digital SIM embedded directly into your device, so you don’t need to do a physical SIM swap. With an KnowRoaming eSIM you can connect to mobile networks for data, but instead of inserting a tiny plastic SIM card, you just purhcase a plan, install, activate it and you're ready to go. This makes it easier to switch carriers or add data when you travel.
Install the eSIM by scanning a QR code or through the auto installation option, and your device activates as soon as you arrive at your destination.
- **What is data roaming?** — Data roaming is when your mobile phone connects to the internet outside of your home network while traveling abroad, often resulting in high costs if you rely on your carrier’s roaming agreements.
For example, if you travel from the US to France and leave your SIM active, your device connects to a French network through roaming. Every MB is billed at international rates, which can result in bills of hundreds of dollars.
- **What is KnowRoaming?** — KnowRoaming is a global travel eSIM provider that makes staying connected abroad simple, affordable, and stress-free. Instead of swapping physical SIM cards or paying high roaming fees, travelers can instantly download an eSIM onto their device and enjoy seamless mobile data in over 200 destinations worldwide.
With KnowRoaming, you can choose between fixed data plans or unlimited plans, depending on how you travel. Plans activate instantly, offering fast 4G and 5G coverage, and can be topped up at any time through the KnowRoaming app or website.
Trusted by travelers for over 15 years, KnowRoaming has become a leading name in global connectivity. From weekend getaways to business trips and digital nomad adventures, KnowRoaming ensures you land connected, stay connected, and roam smarter, without the hassle of local SIM cards or surprise roaming bills.
- **What is the difference between an eSIM and a physical SIM card?** — A physical SIM is a small plastic card that stores your subscriber info and connects you to mobile networks. If you change carriers or travel, you usually need to buy and insert a new card. Physical SIMs can be lost, damaged, or stolen.
An eSIM is built into your device and activated digitally by downloading a profile. You can store multiple eSIMs and switch plans instantly without replacing hardware.
### General eSIM FAQ
- **What is tethering (also called hotspotting)?** — Tethering lets your phone share its mobile data with other devices (laptop/tablet/another phone) by acting as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
- **What is a subscription eSIM plan?** — A subscription eSIM plan is a recurring data plan that keeps you connected automatically. Once you subscribe, your data renews each billing cycle so you don't need to purchase a new plan every time you travel or need connectivity.
- **How does the subscription billing work?** — Your subscription is billed automatically at the start of each billing cycle. Once renewed, your data allowance becomes available immediately for use.
- **Do I need to install a new eSIM each time my plan renews?** — No. Your eSIM remains installed on your device. Your subscription simply refreshes your data allowance automatically.
- **Can I cancel my subscription at any time?** — Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time from the Manage Subscription section. Your plan will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
- **What happens if I cancel my subscription?** — After cancellation, your plan will remain active until the end of the billing period. It will not renew for the next cycle.
- **How do I manage my subscription?** — You can manage your subscription on the Manage Subscription section.
- **Are eSIMs safe and secure to use?** — Yes, eSIMs are very safe and secure to use, in fact, they’re often considered more secure than physical SIM cards.
- **Can I buy and activate an eSIM while already abroad?** — Yes. As long as you have a Wi-Fi connection, you can buy and install a KnowRoaming eSIM from anywhere in the world, even if you’re already overseas. This is especially useful if you forgot to set it up before your trip or need extra data while traveling.
- **Can I use an eSIM for multiple countries on one trip?** — KnowRoaming offers regional and global eSIM plans that let you travel seamlessly across multiple destinations without swapping physical SIMs.
- **Do I need to show ID or passport to buy an eSIM?** — No ID or passport is required to purchase a KnowRoaming eSIM, you can choose a plan, pay securely, and install instantly.
- **How do eSIM providers ensure network uptime in all countries?** — Providers partner with leading local carriers and use technical safeguards to keep you online with minimal downtime.
- **How do I avoid roaming charges with an eSIM?** — The key is to activate a KnowRoaming eSIM plan before you leave, ensuring your data routes through our negotiated rates instead of expensive carrier roaming fees.
- **How many eSIMs can I store on my phone?** — It depends on your device, but most modern smartphones let you store multiple eSIM profiles (often 4–10), while only one or two lines can be active at a time.
- **Should I choose a country, regional, or global plan?** — The right choice depends on your itinerary, budget, and travel style, KnowRoaming offers tailored plans to fit any need.
- **What is low data mode?** — Low data mode reduces background data usage (updates, backups, app refresh) so your data lasts longer, useful on smaller data plans.
### Installation and Activation
- **What happens if I delete my eSIM? Can I reinstall it?** — If you delete an eSIM from your phone, the profile is permanently erased and usually cannot be reinstalled. This is because eSIM profiles are designed to be secure and linked to the device they were first activated on. Once deleted, the system treats that profile as used and it cannot be reused.
With KnowRoaming, if you accidentally delete your eSIM or you move to a new device, you will need to download a fresh eSIM profile through the KnowRoaming app. Your plan and account stay active, but the actual eSIM profile must be reissued to your device. This ensures security and prevents the same profile from being copied onto multiple phones.
- **Can I install my eSIM on multiple devices?** — No, once a KnowRoaming eSIM is installed on a device, it’s locked to that device and cannot be installed on another phone or tablet. This is a security feature built into how eSIMs work globally, not just for KnowRoaming. If you try to scan the same QR code or re-use the same eSIM profile on a different device, it won’t work. Each eSIM plan is tied to a single installation
- **Can I transfer my eSIM to another device?** — No. An eSIM cannot be transferred to another device once it has been activated.
Each eSIM profile is digitally linked to the specific phone or tablet where it was first installed. If you delete it, erase your device, or attempt to move it, the eSIM cannot be reinstalled or used on another phone. This is a security requirement set by mobile networks.
- **Do I need Internet or Wi-Fi to activate an eSIM?** — Installing or activating your KnowRoaming eSIM requires a data connection (Wi-Fi is preferred) so your device can download the eSIM profile from our servers. When you purchase a KnowRoaming eSIM plan, you receive a QR code or activation link. To install it on your phone, follow these steps:
- **How do I install and activate an eSIM on my Android device?** — Installing and activating a KnowRoaming eSIM on an Android device is quick and simple. You can do it directly through the KnowRoaming app or by scanning a QR code provided at checkout. Your device must be unlocked and eSIM-compatible to complete the setup.
- **How do I install and activate an eSIM on my iPhone device?** — Installing and activating a KnowRoaming eSIM on an iPhone device is quick and simple. You can do it directly through the KnowRoaming app or by scanning a QR code provided at checkout. Your device must be unlocked and eSIM-compatible to complete the setup.
- **How do I install and activate an eSIM on the web on desktop or mobile?** — Installing and activating a KnowRoaming eSIM on the website is quick and simple. Your device must be unlocked and eSIM-compatible to complete the setup.
- **How to label your eSIM?** — If you’ve installed more than one eSIM on your device, giving each eSIM a clear label makes it easier to know which plan you’re using. Both iOS and Android let you rename eSIMs right in your settings.
- **How to turn off your eSIM when you return home** — Switching back to your home SIM after using a KnowRoaming eSIM is simple. Your phone can store both your physical SIM and your KnowRoaming eSIM, and you can toggle between them in your device settings.
- **How do I turn roaming on iPhone?** — Roaming lets your iPhone connect to mobile networks when you’re outside your home country. If you’re traveling with a KnowRoaming eSIM, you’ll need to make sure data roaming is enabled so your plan works abroad.
### Pricing and Data
- **Why is an eSIM better than paying my phone provider’s roaming rate?** — It might seem easy to just accept a roaming package from your home carrier, after all, companies like T-Mobile offer “10 GB abroad” passes or similar add-ons. But those offers can become very expensive, especially once you step outside your home region. For example, T-Mobile’s international pass of 5 GB for 10 days costs US$35. KnowRoaming’s global eSIM plans start at US $6.50, and even their higher-data “unlimited / global” plans give excellent value compared to inflated roaming rates.
- **Are eSIM plans cheaper than traditional SIM cards?** — While pricing can vary depending on carrier and destination, KnowRoaming’s eSIM plans frequently offer more cost-effective options compared to physical SIM cards.
Traditional SIM cards often come with hidden fees like shipping costs, activation charges, or higher roaming rates, whereas KnowRoaming’s eSIM pricing is transparent and upfront. Instead of buying a physical SIM that might work only in a single country, KnowRoaming’s eSIM can be activated instantly on your device without waiting for a card to arrive. By eliminating shipping and retail overhead, KnowRoaming passes those savings directly to you, helping you avoid inflated rates.
Moreover, KnowRoaming negotiates bulk data rates with operators worldwide, which means you often pay less per gigabyte than you would with a local physical SIM. For example, where a traditional SIM might charge $10 for 1 GB in Country X, KnowRoaming may offer a comparable or larger data bundle at a lower cost, often with validity across multiple countries. Midway through your trip, if you need more data, KnowRoaming’s seamless Top Up feature lets you add more without swapping out SIM cards or paying unexpected roaming surcharges.
In summary, while individual SIM card offers may appear cheaper at first glance, KnowRoaming’s eSIM plans are designed to be more budget-friendly when you factor in convenience, global coverage, and transparent pricing. For detailed rates and to see current eSIM plans, visit our destinations page.
- **Are there hidden fees with KnowRoaming eSIMs?** — No, with KnowRoaming there are no hidden charges, surprise roaming fees, or bill shock. All of our eSIM plans are prepaid, which means you pay upfront for the exact package you choose. The price you see on our website or in the app is the price you pay and nothing extra is added later.
Traditional mobile roaming often comes with confusing terms and unexpected costs, like per-minute calling rates or daily roaming add-ons. With KnowRoaming, your plan includes a fixed amount of data (or unlimited access where specified), valid for the number of days shown. Once your plan expires or you use up your data, it simply stops, unless you opt in for auto top up.
If you need more data, you can top up directly in the app or on our website. You’ll see the price of the top up before confirming payment, and it’s processed securely. There are also no contracts, no monthly commitments, and no activation fees.
KnowRoaming eSIMs give you transparent, prepaid pricing with full control over your spending. You decide what you need, pay once, and enjoy your trip without worrying about surprise bills when you return home.
- **Are unlimited plans truly uncapped?** — KnowRoaming unlimited plans give you continuous data access for the full validity period of your package, but like all unlimited mobile data offers, they are subject to a fair use policy. Every eSIM provider uses some form of throttling to keep networks stable and ensure fair access for all users.
With KnowRoaming, you receive a set amount of high-speed data each day (5 GB). Once you reach that amount, your connection continues without interruption but at a reduced speed (500 Kbps). The next day your high-speed allowance resets automatically.
For example, with a KnowRoaming Global Unlimited plan you receive 5 GB of high-speed data per day. After using 5 GB, speeds drop to around 500 kbps, which is still fine for basic tasks like messaging, maps, and email. The following day, your 5 GB high-speed data is restored.
This structure ensures that you are always connected while traveling, while also preventing extreme usage from a small number of people that could affect the experience of others.
In short, unlimited plans are not completely uncapped at full speed, but KnowRoaming gives you reliable daily high-speed data, slower speeds after the limit, and a reset every 24 hours, with similar models used across the eSIM industry.
- **Can I top up an eSIM or do I need to buy a new one?** — With KnowRoaming, eSIMs can be topped up directly in the app or the website, so you do not always need to buy a new one. For example, if you are traveling and your data runs low, you can open the KnowRoaming app, select your active eSIM, and add more data to the same plan. The top up applies instantly, keeping you connected without reinstalling or switching eSIMs.
- **How do I check my eSIM data balance?** — You can check your eSIM data balance directly in the KnowRoaming app or website. Once you have installed your eSIM and activated a plan, your usage is tracked in real time so you always know how much data you have left.
- **How do I top up my eSIM?** — You can top up your KnowRoaming eSIM directly through the KnowRoaming app or website. Once your eSIM is installed on your device, simply add more data or days to your existing plan with just a few taps.
- **How fast is 5G coverage on international travel eSIM plans?** — The speed you get on a 5G international eSIM plan depends on the local mobile networks in the country you’re visiting. With a KnowRoaming eSIM, you connect directly to top-tier carriers in over 200 destinations, so where 5G is available you can typically expect download speeds between 150–500 Mbps and uploads around 30–100 Mbps under normal network conditions. In some major cities with strong coverage, speeds can go even higher.
- **How much data does YouTube use?** — Watching YouTube can use a lot of mobile data, depending on the video quality. The higher the resolution, the more data it consumes.
- **What happens when I run out of data on an eSIM?** — When you use up all the data on your eSIM plan, your internet connection will stop working until you either top up or purchase a new plan. With KnowRoaming, you never need to worry about being cut off unexpectedly, because the app and website make it simple to add more data instantly.
### Programs and Perks
- **Is there a minimum spend for my friend to trigger my reward?** — Yes, their first purchase needs to be at least $4.50 to count as a qualifying purchase and unlock your referral Kreds.
- **Where do I find my referral code?** — Log into the KnowRoaming app or website and head to the Kreds section. Your personal referral code is there, ready to share.
- **What is mokafaa and how does it work?**
- **Does KnowRoaming have an affiliate and partnership program?** — Yes. KnowRoaming runs a global affiliate program (via Awin) and also offers business partnerships. Affiliates can earn up to 20% commission with a 365-day cookie window, real-time reporting, and no minimum follower requirement. Partnerships include white-label, API integrations, bulk/corporate eSIMs, and co-branded campaigns.
- **How to stay informed about upcoming discounts and promotions?** — The best way to stay informed about KnowRoaming discounts and promotions is to opt in for marketing communication through the KnowRoaming app or website. Customers who subscribe to email notifications and app notifications are the first to hear about seasonal sales, limited-time offers, and exclusive promo codes.
You can also follow KnowRoaming on social media platforms, where special deals and travel promotions are announced throughout the year. Common promotions include discounts on regional eSIMs, global data bundles, and partner campaigns with airlines, travel agencies, or payment providers.
- **How do I enable push notifications to receive account alerts?** — Turn on push notifications to get real-time alerts for low data, top-up reminders, plan activations, and important account updates.
- **What are Kreds?** — Kreds are KnowRoaming’s rewards currency. You earn Kreds when you buy eSIM plans and when you refer friends. Once earned, you can spend your Kreds on future purchases. Kreds are saved to your wallet, ready to use when you are ready to make your next purchase.
- **How do I earn Kreds?** — You can earn Kreds in two ways: through purchases and referrals.
- **How do I know how many Kreds I have?** — Log into your KnowRoaming account, go to the Kreds section to view your Kreds wallet and balance. It updates automatically as you earn and spend.
- **How do I use my Kreds?** — On the destination plan, click on ‘Use Kreds’. Use the slider to select the amount of Kreds to apply or enter the amount of Kreds you’d like to apply.
- **Do Kreds expire?** — Yes, Kreds are valid for 12 months from the date they’re issued. Once they expire, they’re automatically removed from your wallet and can’t be reinstated.
- **How does the referral program work?** — Share your referral code with a friend. When they sign up using your code, they get $4 in Kreds to use on their first purchase. Once they complete that purchase, you get $4 in Kreds too. You can refer as many friends as you like — each qualifying referral earns you $4 when your friend makes their first purchase.
### eSIM Troubleshooting
- **Can I buy and activate an eSIM while already abroad?** — Yes. As long as you have a Wi-Fi connection, you can buy and install a KnowRoaming eSIM from anywhere in the world, even if you’re already overseas. This is useful if you forgot to set it up before your trip or need extra data while traveling.
Recommended: Install before you fly. Setting it up in advance means you’ll land with data ready to go, no scrambling for airport Wi-Fi, and no stress about QR codes. It also gives you time to test your device settings (data roaming, APN configuration) while on a reliable internet connection.
- **How do I find out if my phone is unlocked?** — An unlocked phone is one that can use SIM cards or eSIMs from different carriers worldwide. If your phone is network locked, it only works with the network you originally bought it from, often because it was sold on a contract. Once that contract is complete, most carriers can unlock your phone on request.
To check if your phone is unlocked, insert a SIM card from a different carrier or try to activate an eSIM. If it connects and you can make calls or use data, your phone is unlocked. On some devices, like iPhones, you can also go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Plans to see if multiple carriers are supported.
Unlocked phones are more common in regions like Europe, while in countries such as the United States, many devices are sold locked unless you buy them outright. If your phone is locked, you can contact your carrier to request an unlock, and in many cases they will do this for free once your contract terms are met.
- **Top eSIM troubleshooting steps** — If your KnowRoaming eSIM isn’t connecting, follow these common troubleshooting steps.
- **What do I do if my device is network locked?** — A network-locked device can’t accept third-party eSIM profiles, like KnowRoaming’s, until it’s unlocked. Here’s how to resolve this and get your KnowRoaming eSIM working smoothly:
- **Why can’t I find my eSIM?** — Even after you see a confirmation message in the KnowRoaming app or website that your eSIM was successfully installed, it may not be immediately visible under your device’s cellular settings. Below are common reasons and fixes.

# China eSIM: use Google, WhatsApp and Instagram without a VPN
> China blocks Google, WhatsApp and Instagram on local networks. Here's why a KnowRoaming eSIM gets around that, and how to add yours before you fly.
Published: 2026-08-14
Last updated: 2026-08-14
Add a[ KnowRoaming China eSIM](https://www.knowroaming.com/esims/china) before you fly, and your phone works in China the same way it works at home. Maps, Gmail, WhatsApp, Instagram, all there, no VPN required. [Our China eSIM](https://www.knowroaming.com/esims/china) carries no content restrictions of its own, so your favourite apps and sites are never filtered on our end.
Here's why.
## Why China's internet is different
China runs the world's largest internet filtering system, known as the Great Firewall. On a local Chinese SIM or local WiFi, Google, Gmail, Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and most Western news and social apps are blocked.
Travelers usually assume a VPN is the fix. It isn't a reliable one. The Great Firewall actively detects and blocks VPN traffic, so a VPN that works one day can stop working the next, right when you need it.
## Why KnowRoaming China eSIM is different
A KnowRoaming eSIM doesn't route your data through a Chinese internet provider. Your phone connects to a local tower for signal, then your data tunnels out to an international network before it reaches the open internet. That's standard international roaming, the same system business travelers and diplomats rely on every day.
Filtering happens at the local provider level. Since your traffic never sits behind it, the block doesn't apply. Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Gmail, Maps and YouTube work the way you're used to.
## What to expect on the ground
- **Search and maps.** Google Search and Google Maps work normally.- **Messaging.** WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram DMs send and receive without issue.- **Social media.** Instagram, Facebook and X load and post normally.- **Email.** Gmail and other international email work as usual.- **News.** International sites blocked locally, including many major outlets, load normally.## Add your eSIM before you land
This part matters: add your KnowRoaming eSIM and download your data plan before you fly. Once you're on the ground in China, the App Store and Google Play are also behind the Great Firewall, so getting a new eSIM app after arrival is a lot harder than doing it in advance.
Steps:
1. Add the [KnowRoaming China eSIM](https://www.knowroaming.com/esims/china) before departure.1. Install the eSIM profile while you still have your home network or WiFi.1. Land, switch on data roaming, and connect.Nothing starts until you activate it, so there's no data ticking away while you pack.
## A note on VPNs
Some travelers still bring a VPN as a backup for local Chinese SIMs or hotel WiFi. That's a personal call, and VPN use sits in a legal grey area under Chinese regulation, so it's worth understanding the rules for your own trip. A roaming eSIM sidesteps the question entirely: your data never touches the local filter in the first place.
## FAQ
**Do I need a VPN in China if I have a KnowRoaming eSIM?** No. Your data routes internationally, so Google, WhatsApp and Instagram work without one.
**Will WhatsApp calls work, not just messages?** Yes. Voice and video calls over WhatsApp use the same international routing as everything else.
**Can I add the eSIM after I land?** You can, but app stores are also blocked locally, so it's far simpler to add it before you leave.
**Does this work for the whole of mainland China?** Yes, coverage follows KnowRoaming's China network the same way any local SIM would, this only concerns which internet services you can reach, not where you get signal.
**Does the eSIM itself block or filter any apps?** No. The KnowRoaming China eSIM has no content restrictions of its own. It's the international routing, not any filtering on our end, that keeps Google, WhatsApp and Instagram reachable.

# Dubai eSIM guide: what works and what's blocked | KnowRoaming
> Data, maps and messaging all work normally in Dubai with a KnowRoaming eSIM. Here's the honest picture on WhatsApp and FaceTime calls too.
Published: 2026-08-14
Last updated: 2026-08-14
Add a KnowRoaming eSIM before you land in Dubai, and your data, maps, messaging and social apps work exactly as they do at home. [The KnowRoaming UAE eSIM](https://www.knowroaming.com/esims/uae) carries no content restrictions of its own, so your favourite apps and sites are never filtered on our end. One thing is still worth knowing before you go: voice and video calls on WhatsApp and FaceTime are restricted UAE-wide by telecom regulation, on every network, including roaming. That's a calling rule, not a content block, and no eSIM changes it.
Here's the full picture, so nothing catches you out.
One more thing to plan around: local regulations mean eSIMs can't be purchased from within the UAE, so add yours before you fly.
## What works normally
With a [KnowRoaming eSIM in the UAE](https://www.knowroaming.com/esims/uae), you get:
- **Maps and navigation**, working as usual.- **WhatsApp messaging**, including text, photos, voice notes and documents.- **Social media**, browsing and posting on Instagram, Facebook and X.- **Email and banking apps**, including SMS and app-based two-factor codes.- **Video conferencing** through Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, which are not affected.## The one restriction: VoIP calls
The UAE's Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority restricts voice and video calls made through WhatsApp, FaceTime and Skype. This applies across all seven emirates, on every local network, and on most WiFi, including hotels and both major airports.
It's a long-standing rule, not a technical fault, and not something specific to any eSIM or carrier. Some guides claim international roaming gets around it. In practice, UAE VoIP restrictions apply more broadly than China's filtering does, and results with a foreign SIM or eSIM are inconsistent. The honest answer: plan for these calls not to connect, rather than count on a workaround.
Text messaging, voice notes and file sharing on WhatsApp are unaffected. Only live voice and video calls are restricted.
## What to use instead
For calls home, licensed alternatives work reliably on any network in the UAE:
- **BOTIM** and **C'me**, TDRA-approved apps built for voice and video calling.- **Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet**, which generally connect without issue.- **A regular phone call** on your home number, using your KnowRoaming data plan for everything else.Tell the people you're travelling to see before you land, so nobody's waiting on a WhatsApp call that won't connect.
## Add your eSIM before you fly
Add the [KnowRoaming UAE eSIM](http://knowroaming.com/esims/uae) and install the profile before departure. Activate on arrival and you're connected the moment you land, no need to find WiFi at the airport first. Since eSIMs can't be purchased from within the UAE, this step has to happen before you go.
## A note on VPNs
Some travelers consider a VPN to force a WhatsApp or FaceTime call through. Using a VPN for business purposes is generally fine in the UAE, but using one specifically to bypass VoIP restrictions is against UAE telecommunications law and can carry fines. Given how well the licensed alternatives work, it's not worth the risk.
## FAQs
**Will WhatsApp work at all in Dubai?** Yes, for messaging, photos and voice notes. Voice and video calls are blocked UAE-wide.
**Does a KnowRoaming eSIM get around the WhatsApp call block?** Not reliably. The restriction applies broadly across networks, including roaming.
**What should I use for video calls instead?** BOTIM, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet all work normally.
**Do I need a VPN for anything else in the UAE?** No. Maps, browsing, social media, email and banking all work without one.
**Should I add my eSIM before I land?** Yes. UAE regulations mean eSIMs can't be purchased from within the country, so add it and install the profile before you fly.
**Does the eSIM itself block or filter any apps?** No. The KnowRoaming UAE eSIM has no content restrictions of its own. The WhatsApp and FaceTime calling block is a separate UAE telecom rule that applies regardless of network.

# Why should you turn on eSIM notifications while traveling?
> Your eSIM works quietly in the background, until it doesn't. Running low on data, an install that needs one more step, a top-up that may or may not have gone through, most of this only reaches you if notifications are turned on. Here's what they actually do, and why skipping them usually costs you more than it saves.

Your eSIM works quietly in the background, until it doesn't. Running low on data, an install that needs one more step, a top-up that may or may not have gone through, most of this only reaches you if notifications are turned on. Here's what they actually do, and why skipping them usually costs you more than it saves.
## What do KnowRoaming push notifications actually tell you?
Some notifications keep your trip on track. Others are simply worth knowing about.
**Keeps your trip running:**
- **Purchase confirmed: **Confirms your purchase and includes everything you need to install the eSIM.- **60% of your data used:** The first indicator that your data is running low.- **90% used:** The most important alert. Act on this one before you lose connection.- **100% used:** Marks the point where you'll need to top up to stay connected.- **Top-up confirmed:** Confirms your payment processed and data's been added to your plan.- **Auto top-up confirmed:** Tells you when auto top-up has triggered a payment.- **Refund processed:** Lets you know a refund is on its way.Not marketing. Just the information a physical SIM used to give you, before there was no card to check and no bars to glance at.
**Not essential, but useful:**
- **Limited-time deals:** Time-sensitive discounts across plans and destinations.- **New features:** Announcements for new additions like Kreds.Turn any of these on or off, and choose how you get them (push, email, or SMS depending on the type), in your [notification settings](https://www.knowroaming.com/notifications).
## How to set up your KnowRoaming notifications
[Manage your notification settings here →](https://www.knowroaming.com/notifications)
Your notification settings are split into three categories, and each one controls a different part of what you hear from us.
**Marketing:** discounts, special offers, and other promotional notifications. Available by email and/or push.
**Account Notifications:** the practical stuff, including low balance and data usage updates. Available by push, email, or SMS, so you can choose whichever you're most likely to actually see.
**Purchase Notifications:** updates on your purchases.
You can turn on everything at once with **Enable all notifications**, or go category by category and pick exactly what you want and how you want to hear about it. If you're enabling push notifications, you'll also need to allow notifications in your browser settings for them to come through.
[Choose how you want to hear from us →](https://www.knowroaming.com/notifications)
## 5 reasons to turn on push notifications before your next trip
Notifications aren't just a nice-to-have. They're the difference between catching a problem early and finding out too late.
**1. You'll know the moment your eSIM is active.** Purchase confirmation arrives with your setup instructions and QR code, so there's no guessing whether it's ready to install.
**2. You'll get warned before you're cut off.** The 60% and 90% data alerts give you a clear timeline, so you can top up before your connection actually stops.
**3. You'll know exactly when a top-up goes through.** No refreshing the app to check, the confirmation tells you the payment processed and the data's added.
**4. You won't be caught off guard by an automatic charge.** Auto top-up confirmation means you always know when a payment's happened and why.
**5. You'll catch a refund or a deal before it's gone.** Refunds get confirmed the same way purchases do, and limited-time offers or new features like Kreds only reach you if the notification's turned on.
Everything here needs the KnowRoaming app installed to work, if you haven't already, it's on the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/knowroaming/id641700495) and [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.knowroaming.esim.app).

**1. Grab your referral code.** Find your unique code inside the KnowRoaming app or at [KnowRoaming.com/kreds](https://www.knowroaming.com/kreds). It takes about 10 seconds.
**2. Send it to a friend.** Drop it in a message, a group chat, or anywhere you share travel tips. There's no limit on how many people you refer.
**3. Your friend signs up with your code.** They create their KnowRoaming account and use your referral code during sign-up.
**4. You each make a qualifying purchase.** To unlock your $4 in Kreds, both you and your friend each need to have completed at least one real-cash purchase of $0.50 or more. You can do your qualifying purchase before or after you send the referral, so if you've already bought a plan, you're already set.
**5. You both earn $4 in Kreds.** Once both qualifying purchases are complete, $4 in Kreds lands in each of your accounts, ready to use on your next trip.
Full details are available in the [KnowRoaming Terms and Conditions](https://www.knowroaming.com/terms-conditions).

- Use them to pay for, or discount, any KnowRoaming data plan or top-up across 200+ destinations- Stack them up over multiple trips and top-ups- Earn them through the referral program, promotions, and every purchaseKreds don't replace your data plan, they make it cheaper.
