Travel Tech: KnowRoaming returns for the eSIM era.

Travel Tech: KnowRoaming returns for the eSIM era. South African investment group DNI has invested in the travel SIM pioneer to help expand its consumer reach and international footprint, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK. Share. Published on 18 September 2026 The power of an eSIM always amazes me when I land in another country and switch off flight mode. A data package bought before departure connects my phone to a local mobile network for data access almost instantly, while the home SIM remains in place for regular voice calls - if I even receive those anymore. Maps and messaging work before I've got to passport control, and the ancient tradition of expensive data roaming recedes further into history with every trip. KnowRoaming gave travellers an early version of that freedom long before the eSIM became a standard smartphone capability. South African entrepreneur Gregory Gundelfinger and his co-founder Mathew Stein developed what they called the world's first Global SIM Sticker more than a decade ago. The wafer-thin chip was attached to an existing SIM card, and connected the phone to partner networks abroad. At the time, it was my first real global mobile solution. Travellers could use voice and data across more than 200 countries without replacing their home SIM, while an app tracked usage and managed credit. The technology looks quaint beside today's instant downloads, but it anticipated the central promise of eSIM: one device able to adopt a new mobile identity as its owner crosses a border. KnowRoaming piggybacked on global licensing deals made possible by Gundelfinger's US-based telecoms group Telna. In 2024, the business and brand was sold to eSimplified, and executive director Michael Roffey led the rebuilding of the company around consumer and enterprise traveleSIMs. This week, South African investment group DNI announced that it has invested in KnowRoaming as part of more than R2.1-billion committed across its connectivity and technology portfolio. DNI says its investment will help KnowRoaming expand its consumer reach and international footprint, supported by the group's telecommunications expertise and industry relationships. Africa is a primary target for that expansion. In effect, KnowRoaming is very much a global company, but with a large staff contingent based in South Africa. "We see this as a real advantage because it means decisions get made close to one of the fastest-growing travel and eSIM markets in the world," Roffey told Gadget. "DNI's investment strengthens that local anchor and puts Gadget in a strong position to build for the realities of this market. "It comes down to distribution, speed and depth in emerging markets. With DNI alongside us, we can put KnowRoaming in front of customers through far more channels than we could on our own, while accelerating investment in our platform and our marketing." The company is embedding its eSIM service in banks and telecoms businesses, along with travel platforms that can sell connectivity as part of a trip. It has also launched an enterprise service through which companies can provide eSIMs to employees and lower the cost of employee travel data. Of course, the consumer market is overflowing with eSIM brands. Holafly has been especially relentless in its marketing, this week distributing a Travel eSIM Value Index that found, surprise, Holafly offered the best value. Its comparison included Airalo and Saily, but excluded KnowRoaming and my preferred provider, eTravelSIM. In my own travels, eTravelSIM has usually beaten Holafly and Airalo on cost in every country. The latter two usually win on comparisons of unlimited packages for a specific number of days, but that is usually overkill for the typical trip in which the traveller flips between hotel and conference Wi- Fi and an eSIM. "Holafly and Airalo are strong global players, but both are built around a single-purchase model and a largely direct-to-consumer footprint," says Roffey. "KnowRoaming differs both in terms of distribution and product." "We are launching features such as KR.One, whereby a customer buys one eSIM and adds plans to that installed eSIM for every trip. That shifts travellers away from today's disposable model, where you buy a new eSIM for the US and another for the UK, to installing once and simply adding a plan for each trip." That feature takes KnowRoaming back to the principle behind Gundelfinger and Stein's original sticker: install the technology once and use it wherever one travels. And it offers one rare advantage, says Roffey: it treats Africa as a priority region. "We understand the market's realities first-hand, and DNI brings distribution and operating expertise across the continent that no global competitor can easily replicate." * Arthur Goldstuck is CEO of World Wide Worx, editor-in-chief of Gadget.co.za, editor of GadgetWings, and author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to AI - The African Edge".

The best travel eSIM in 2026: honest comparison.

The best travel eSIM in 2026: honest comparison. Comparing best travel eSIM 2026 options in 2026? This is an honest, side-by-side look at how StrongeSIM measures up against Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad. Strong eSIM LTD focus on the three things that decide a trip: price, how fast you get online, and the safety net if the eSIM does not connect. Quick answer The best travel eSIM in 2026 depends on your priorities, but for the lowest everyday price plus a 15-minute connect-or-refund guarantee, StrongeSIM is its pick over Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad. Each rival still leads on one specific strength. There are more travel eSIM apps than ever, and most of them are perfectly good. So which is the best travel eSIM in 2026 for you? It comes down to three things almost everyone cares about: what you actually pay, how fast you get online, and what happens if it does not work. Here is an honest, at-a-glance comparison of the big names, with StrongeSIM in the mix. What to look for in a best travel eSIM 2026. Choosing a best travel eSIM 2026 really comes down to those same three things. Get them right and the rest is detail. Price. Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad add a retail markup on top of the wholesale rate. StrongeSIM adds a 0% markup, so the same data usually costs less. Speed. Both deliver instantly, so you are online within minutes of landing. Safety. StrongeSIM refunds you in full if you are not connected within 15 minutes of arrival, which is the part most rivals leave out. StrongeSIM vs the big travel eSIM brands, at a glance. StrongeSIM vs the big travel eSIM brands | What matters | / | Airalo | Holafly | Saily | Nomad | | Pricing model | | 0% markup, wholesale | Retail markup | Premium unlimited | Retail markup | Retail + promos | | Connect-or-refund | | 15 min or refund | Standard | Standard | Standard | Standard | | Buy 2, save 10% | | Built in | No | No | No | No | | Fixed + unlimited plans | | Both | Mostly fixed | Mostly unlimited | Mostly fixed | Mostly fixed | | Hotspot / tethering | | Included | Varies | Varies | Varies | Varies | | No app required | | Web + account | App-first | App-first | App-first | App-first | | Family-friendly management | | Labels + email per eSIM | Basic | Basic | Basic | Basic | How Strong eSIM LTD compared Where The others are strong. A fair comparison names the good on both sides, so here is where the competition genuinely earns its reputation: * Airalo: the widest catalog and the most recognized brand. * Holafly: the simplest unlimited-data story if you hate doing math. * Saily: a trusted security brand with a clean app. * Nomad: frequent promotions that can make single plans very cheap. Where StrongeSIM pulls ahead. Here is where StrongeSIM makes the stronger case as a best travel eSIM 2026: * Consistently low prices thanks to a 0% markup, not just on promo days. * A 15-minute connect-or-refund guarantee no major rival advertises. * A built-in buddy discount and family-friendly management for group trips. * Both fixed and unlimited plans, so you are never forced into the wrong shape. The price difference, explained. Here is the part that actually changes what you pay. Most travel eSIM apps buy data wholesale and resell it with a markup that can run from a small margin to well over double. StrongeSIM shows you the live wholesale price with a 0% markup instead, so there is no retail margin baked into the number you see, and no surprise fee added at checkout. On top of that, buying a second eSIM for a travel partner drops the whole order 10% automatically, and there is no code to hunt for. For a couple or a family, that difference adds up fast across a single trip. How to get started with StrongeSIM. Getting started takes a couple of minutes: * Pick your destination and plan on StrongeSIM, then check the live price for your exact dates. * Pay, and your QR code arrives by email in about 30 seconds and stays in your account. * On your phone, open Settings, choose to add an eSIM, and scan the QR code. * Turn the eSIM on when you land so your days start then, and keep your home SIM for calls. Coverage, hotspot and the little things. Beyond price, the small details add up. StrongeSIM runs on the same local networks the big names use, so coverage is comparable in most destinations. Hotspot and tethering are included, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. And because every eSIM arrives as its own email with a note you can label, buying for a couple or a whole family stays simple instead of turning into a guessing game at the airport. Who should choose what. There is no single winner for everyone. Lean toward Airalo, Holafly, Saily and Nomad if the strengths above matter most to you. Lean toward StrongeSIM if you are travelers who want the lowest everyday price and a real safety net, and who value both fixed and unlimited options. In short, StrongeSIM is best for travelers who want the lowest everyday price and a real safety net, and who value both fixed and unlimited options. If you are weighing a best travel eSIM 2026 in 2026, compare the exact plan and dates you need, then look at the live price. You can browse StrongeSIM plans for your destination in seconds, and check that your phone supports eSIM before you buy. The best choice is the one that gets you online cheaply and refunds you if it does not. The best travel eSIM depends on you, but here is its honest take. Every brand here will get you online. If you want the lowest everyday price plus a real safety net for arrival, StrongeSIM is the one Strong eSIM LTD would pick, and Strong eSIM LTD built it, so of course Strong eSIM LTD would. See the live price for your destination and judge for yourself. Frequently asked questions. It varies by country and date, but StrongeSIM's 0% markup makes it consistently competitive, and often the cheapest, for the same plan. Always compare the exact plan you need before buying.

Consumer Cellular taps Airalo for eSIM international connectivity for subscribers.

Consumer Cellular taps Airalo for eSIM international connectivity for subscribers. From PC Mag: Consumer Cellular is making its wireless service a little more passport-compatible through a partnership with the eSIM provider Airalo. The popular reseller of AT&T's network now presents that prepaid international roaming service as its primary solution for travel outside the US and is offering a 15% discount on Airalo eSIMs through Oct. 31. Consumer Cellular and Airalo's tie-up amounts to a loose linkage: You still have to create an Airalo account to get an eSIM, and then you can't put that expense on your Consumer Cellular bill. But for subscribers willing to trust Consumer Cellular's judgment and who don't want to compare potentially dozens of eSIM options, this does simplify shopping. And it definitely saves money compared with Consumer Cellular's older international roaming plans. Those add-ons, still available via Consumer Cellular's customer support line, can be cheap for texting, with rates ranging from 1 to 3 cents per text in many countries. But voice calls fluctuate more, from $.02 per minute in Japan to $.17 per minute in Brazil and France to $.83 per minute in Morocco.

BazTel vs Airalo: which travel eSIM actually saves you money in 2026?

BazTel vs Airalo: which travel eSIM actually saves you money in 2026? Picking a travel eSIM shouldn't take longer than packing your bag. Airalo built the category and still dominates the search results for "eSIM." But leaner providers like BazTel are now undercutting it on price and rethinking how installation should work. This guide compares real pricing, real setup steps, and real support experiences - not marketing copy. I'm Peter, founder of BazTel. with former role in investments, and I've tested eSIMs myself across Japan, Vietnam, and a dozen European countries. I built BazTel because I was tired of overpaying for data I never used. Here's an honest, side-by-side look at how it compares with Airalo. Airalo at a glance. Airalo launched in 2019 and became the world's first dedicated eSIM marketplace. It now serves more than 10 million travelers across 200-plus countries and territories. The company is based in Delaware, with additional operations in Singapore, and is backed by telecom and venture investors. Its biggest strength is breadth. If you're heading somewhere unusual - a small Pacific island, say, or a remote part of West Africa - Airalo probably has a plan for it. The catalogue includes local, regional, and global data packages, with optional call-and-text add-ons on select plans. That breadth comes at a cost: complexity. Airalo prices every destination separately, so a small plan can cost far more per gigabyte than a larger one for the same country. BazTel at a Glance. BazTel is an Australian-founded eSIM provider covering 160-plus countries, with plans starting from $1. Instead of pricing every destination as its own puzzle, BazTel keeps things simple: pick a country or region, choose a data size, and check out. The bigger difference is installation. Most eSIM providers, Airalo included, still lean on QR codes and separate app downloads. BazTel activates through a one-click dashboard, so there's no QR code to scan, print, or photograph off another screen. Support runs 24/7 on Australian time - useful if something breaks at 2am your time but business hours in Sydney. Price comparison: where each provider actually wins. Airalo's per-gigabyte cost swings widely by destination. A small single-country plan looks cheap upfront, but it usually carries the highest cost per gigabyte. Larger regional or global bundles bring that per-GB price down, though you pay more in total. Airalo also raised prices on some popular routes in 2026 - its Japan unlimited plan reportedly jumped from around $15 to $27 for a week, and from $35 to $72 for a month. BazTel's flat, low entry pricing is built for travelers who'd rather not compare fifteen plan tiers before checkout. Installation: QR codes vs a one-click dashboard. Airalo has improved its onboarding. iOS users can now install directly through the app without scanning a QR code. Android users, and anyone without the app installed, still rely on QR codes or manual network settings. That process isn't always smooth. Traveler reviews describe blank QR screenshots, mismatched device instructions, and long waits when something breaks mid-setup. BazTel skips the QR step by design. You buy, activate, and manage your eSIM from one dashboard, with no separate app required. Coverage: 200-plus countries vs 160-plus. Airalo covers more total destinations, and for genuinely remote trips, that edge matters. BazTel focuses on the 160-plus countries travelers actually visit most, across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond. For a trip to Japan, Vietnam, the UK, or the US, both providers will connect you. The real difference shows up in price and setup, not in raw coverage. Reliability and what travelers actually say. Airalo's review scores vary a lot depending on where you look. App store ratings sit around 4.6 to 4.7, while some independent review sites put its Trustpilot score much lower, closer to 2.6 out of 5. Common complaints centre on activation hiccups and inconsistent support responses, rather than the core eSIM technology itself. I've used Airalo myself on a trip through Southeast Asia. Setup was fine until one data package didn't activate, and support chat took over twenty minutes to sort it out. That's the gap BazTel was built to close: faster support, and a simpler activation flow backed by Stripe-secured checkout. What travelers say in unfiltered community forums. Curated review platforms only tell part of the story. Independent forums, where nobody is paid or incentivized to post, tell the rest. A look through Samsung's own community forum, tech-outlet comment sections, and consumer complaint boards turns up recurring, unprompted Airalo issues that don't show up on polished marketing pages. * On Samsung's community forum, one Galaxy A54 user reported an expired Airalo eSIM that wouldn't delete, leaving their SIM manager stuck until a full factory reset. Read the thread. * Another Galaxy S22 owner described their SIM manager becoming unresponsive after an Airalo install, an issue that survived a soft reset and was only fixed by wiping the device. Refer to the thread. * In the comments under GSMArena's own Airalo field test, one reader called the account registration and verification step confusing enough that they switched providers mid-purchase. Read the comments. * On a travel newsletter's reader comment thread, one traveler described an Airalo eSIM disrupting their physical SIM mid-trip, taking a week and two carriers to restore service. Read the comment. * On PissedConsumer, one traveler documented a six-hour support session with contradictory QR-code instructions before the eSIM finally activated. Read the complaint. None of these are cherry-picked five-star or one-star reviews. They're everyday troubleshooting threads where the people posting had nothing to gain by complaining, which is exactly why they carry more weight than a curated testimonial. Which one should you choose? * Choose Airalo if you're travelling somewhere remote and want the widest possible plan catalogue. * Choose BazTel if you want lower entry pricing, no-QR-code setup, and support that responds fast. * Choose either as a backup line - many travelers keep a second eSIM installed in case one network underperforms in a given city. FAQs. Is BazTel cheaper than Airalo? For most popular destinations, yes. BazTel plans start from $1, while Airalo's per-GB cost varies by destination and can run higher on small or short-duration plans. Do I need to scan a QR code to activate a BazTel eSIM? No. BazTel eSIMs activate through a one-click dashboard, without the QR-code step most providers require. Does Airalo work better in remote countries? Airalo covers slightly more total destinations (200-plus vs BazTel's 160-plus), so it can be the better pick for very remote or less-visited countries. Which has better customer support, BazTel or Airalo? BazTel offers 24/7 support on Australian time. Airalo's support runs through its app and chat, though traveler reviews report mixed response times. The bottom line. Both providers solve the same problem: expensive roaming. Airalo wins on raw coverage. BazTel wins on price and setup friction for the destinations most travelers actually visit. If you're headed to Japan, Europe, the US, or Southeast Asia, compare current BazTel eSIM plans against Airalo before you check out either one.
