Great! I'll have to check 'em out.bylo wrote: ↑ 1. KnowRoaming was around before Roam Mobility. Initially all they offered was a SIM sticker. Many people found that problematic. Now they offer a conventional SIM as well as eSIM.
2. KR's rates were higher than RM's. Now they've whittled them down to be more competitive, even with some EU SIMs.
3. KR offers roaming coverage outside NA, something RM never did.
4. KR roams on AT&T. RM roamed on T-Mobile. That's probably not an issue in urban areas but there are many reports that AT&T has better coverage in US rural areas than T-Mobile.
5. KR roams in Canada. RM only worked in the US. So you can use KR (a) to make calls in Canada if absolutely necessary, (b) just to receive 2FA texts, (c) as a combo with Fido's cheap data SIM if you use voice/text sparingly, (d) to "use" the SIM every few months to avoid having it expire due to lack of use (assuming they expire SIMs) and/or (e) maybe even to activate a Google Voice account that requires a US phone number.
There hasn't been a catch for the several years KR has been in operation. Travel restrictions due to C-19 seems to be what finally brought RM down. It could happen to KR (et al "travel") SIMs. You're only gambling $10 or $20 so it's not a huge risk.
