Rename a line so you can tell it apart
A line label is the name your phone shows for each line, so "KnowRoaming" and "Home" read more clearly than "Line 1" and "Line 2" in your settings and status bar. It doesn't change how the line works, and you can set or change it any time after the add, in a few taps.
Before you start
Where the label is, by phone. iPhone: Settings > Cellular > your KnowRoaming eSIM > Cellular Plan Label. Samsung: Settings > Connections > SIM manager > your KnowRoaming eSIM > Name. Other Android phones: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > your KnowRoaming eSIM > the name field.
Steps
- Open the label field, at the path above for your phone.
- Choose a preset such as Travel, or type your own. "KnowRoaming" does the job.
- Save, or go back; the new name applies straight away.
Good to know
- The label shows in your status bar, in the data picker, and next to the data roaming toggle, which is where you want to be sure you're touching the right line. A clear label means you never switch roaming on for your home SIM by mistake.
- Your phone may have labeled the line Primary, Secondary, or Travel on its own. That's a label, not a fault; the KnowRoaming line is the one you added.
- You can also rename the device itself in the app, under My plans, which helps when you manage several devices.
- Your plan is data only, with no phone number, calls, or SMS. Calls and texts keep using your home number.
Frequently Asked Questions
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!
