    Here’s a tip I just figured out:

    If you already have your SIM card and are just buying one of the unlimited roaming packages or other reloads, set your shipping address to a US location and you won’t be charged HST.

    I’ve used KnowRoaming for several years in many countries with only a few issues, and these were always solved efficiently by their stellar CS people.
    But you don’t mention the free WhatsApp. Do they still give you free WhatsApp usage –even when not on wifi– as long as you’ve loaded $25 into your KnowRoaming account?
    You could use as much data for WhatsApp as needed for free without buying a data package…still happening, or was it just "good while it lasted"?

    Have they fixed the iMessage glitch whereby when you travel your iMessage won’t work with your Canadian number? (and sometimes won’t reactivate)

    I’m not planning on using it while on sea but this is going to be very useful on port excursions. How does this work when on cruise ships? Do I have to manually turn off data when embarking?

    Also heading to Russia. 50USD for 5GB does not seem like a great deal.

    I am there for two weeks.

    I was planning on picking up a SIM card at SVO. Can I ask what your plans are for Russia?

      The trade off here is for the convenience of KnowRoaming. After doing the local SIM card thing for a while, I find that I’d rather save myself the time and pay a little extra to be able to land in a country and have data instantly. Plus, once you have a Global SIM Sticker, you can use it for all your future trips in the same way.

      If saving money is the foremost objective, though, you can’t beat local SIM cards.
