Publicity people deserve much empathy. They often undertake considerable work and ingenuity to meet the goals of their client’s over-optimistic marketing plans.

I accidentally got on a press news list. Few people check for compatibility. They just send me stuff. 

This is one of those. Far from my core interest, but perhaps useful to some of you in your personal life and travels, comes news relevant to your smart phone. I’ve had no problems with my carrier traveling over much of Europe, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and Mexico. But perhaps you have had either difficulty connecting or discovered exorbitantly high bills for the few days in another country.

Enter a South African company called Know Roaming. Their product is an eSIM for your smart phone. An eSIM, short for embedded SIM, is a SIM card that’s built into your smartphone and cannot be physically removed. Unlike traditional SIM cards, which require swapping when changing carriers or traveling abroad, eSIMs are programmable directly onto your phone.

Depending upon your travels, this could be a solution well worth checking out.
