Turn off data roaming on your home SIM before you fly
Turn off data roaming on your home SIM before you fly, so it can't run up charges in the background while the KnowRoaming line carries your data. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts.
Before you start
Where your SIM list is, by phone. iPhone: Settings > Cellular. Samsung: Settings > Connections > SIM manager. Other Android phones: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs.
Steps
- Open your SIM list, at the path above for your phone.
- Tap your home carrier's line, not the KnowRoaming line.
- Turn off Data Roaming for that line only.
- When you land, switch data to the KnowRoaming line and turn on its roaming (taps in Good to know).
Good to know
- Your plan is data only, with no phone number, calls, or SMS. Calls and texts keep using your home number.
- Leave the home line switched on. Turning the whole line off would stop calls and texts, and some banking codes, from reaching you.
- When you get home, turn data roaming off and set your data back to your regular SIM, so you don't pick up roaming charges. Your KnowRoaming plan stays on your phone, ready for your next trip. If you normally use data roaming on your home SIM, turn it back on then.
- The landing steps, by phone, are in Turn on data roaming for your plan on iPhone, Turn on data roaming for your plan on Samsung, and Turn on data roaming for your plan on Android.
- If data keeps slipping back to your home SIM, see Phone reverting to the home SIM automatically.

How to use an eSIM while backpacking is surprisingly simple. First, ensure your phone is unlocked and eSIM-compatible. Then, download the provider's app (like KnowRoaming's). You can choose your plan and add the eSIM digitally through the app, often by scanning a QR code. Once added, just enable data roaming for your eSIM, and you're ready to go, no physical cards or airport kiosks needed.
No swapping SIM cards, no kiosk queues at the airport, set it up once and it's ready every time after.
With KnowRoaming, setup takes less than five minutes. Using the automatic setup in the KnowRoaming app, you can download and add your eSIM in just a few taps. This makes it one of the fastest and most reliable ways to get connected before your trip.
Simply add the eSIM profile on your unlocked, eSIM-compatible device before you travel. Once you arrive in a supported country, turn on your eSIM, and you'll be connected!
