How do I setup data when I'm using KnowRoaming abroad?

To access Data once connected to KnowRoaming abroad, you will need to setup the KnowRoaming Data Profile and then enable the "Data Roaming" setting on your device.

First, ensure that Data is offered in the country you are traveling in. Go to the KnowRoaming App > Rates section or visit https://www.knowroaming.com/pay-as-you-go/  to check if there is a rate for Data. If N/A is listed then no data is offered.


To setup your Data connection, follow these steps:
