Financial Condition [Abstract]
Substantial Doubt about Going Concern [Text Block]	Note 1. Financial Condition As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Pareteum Corporation (the “Company”) reported net (loss) of $ (4,945,245) (292,025,479) The Company was influenced by several events through September 30, 2017: · the restructuring of Atalaya debt on March 6, 2017, May 2, 2017 and August 9, 2017; · 25-1 reverse stock split; · the conversion of unsecured convertible debt and modification of derivative securities; · a capital raise; · an extension was granted by the NYSE for compliance with the listing requirements; · new director appointment; · Dawson James capital raise on November 9, 2017; · Joseph Gunnar warrant exercise; and · new employee stock option plan. Atalaya Debt Restructuring On March 6, 2017, Elephant Talk Europe Holding B.V., an entity organized under the laws of the Netherlands (the “Borrower”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as Borrower, the Company, Pareteum North America Corp., a Delaware corporation, Corbin Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. (“Lender”) and Atalaya Administrative LLC, a New York limited liability company (Atalaya”), as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lender, entered into an agreement to amend certain terms of the credit agreement among the parties, dated November 17, 2014, as has been amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Amended and Restated Agreement”). On March 31, 2017, the relevant parties entered into the formal amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement (the “Amendment”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Amendment: (i) the Maturity Date was extended to December 31, 2018; (ii) the amortization schedule was amended as follows: Q1-2017: $ 1,500,000 1,500,000 500,000 500,000 750,000 750,000 750,000 1,229,100 216,900 On May 2, 2017, the Borrower, the Company, Pareteum North America Corp., a Delaware corporation, Lender and Atalaya Administrative LLC, a New York limited liability company, as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lender, executed a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) to amend certain terms of that credit agreement among the parties, as amended via the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement dated December 27, 2016, and further amended on March 6, 2017. On August 9, 2017, the parties entered the Second Amendment (“Second Amendment”), among other items, to reduce the quarterly principal amortization payment amounts and confirmed the maturity date of December 31, 2018. Further, the parties agreed on a revised repayment schedule, which reduces the principal repayments to $ 250,000 0.64 0.64 793,900 140,100 Reverse Stock Split The Company received a deficiency letter from the New York Stock Exchange MKT (the “NYSE MKT”) on December 6, 2016, indicating that the Company’s securities had been selling for a low price per share for a substantial period of time and, pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), our continued listing on the NYSE MKT was predicated on our effecting a reverse split and other requirements or otherwise demonstrating sustained price improvement. This notice was in addition to a prior notice we received from NYSE MKT on May 26, 2016, as previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 2, 2016. The NYSE MKT indicated that we had an additional six months, or until June 6, 2017, to gain compliance with Section 1003(f)(v) of the Company Guide. On February 27, 2017, the Company completed a 1-for-25 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock and regained compliance with Section 1003 (f)(v) of the Company Guide. The financial information has been adjusted for comparability post reverse split. Conversion of Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note and Modification of Derivative Securities On March 30, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with Saffelberg Investments NV (the “Holder”) pursuant to which the Company and the Holder amended the terms of, redeemed or effected conversion, as the case may be, of certain convertible promissory notes (the “Note(s)”) and warrants (the “Warrant(s)”) previously issued by the Company to the Holder, which was replaced by an agreement dated September 7, 2017 Pursuant to the agreement, the Company and the Holder agreed to modify certain terms of the Notes pursuant to the agreement dated September 7, 2017, whereby the Company entered into a repayment plan with an initial cash payment $ 75,000 20,000 95,000 723,900 9 96,520 5.375 Conversion of Preferred Shares The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 50,000,000 0.00001 249 249 On March 7, 2017, Pareteum Corporation received conversion notices from holders of an aggregate of $ 1,910,000 191 0.00001 1.305 13 1.87 On September 28, 2017, the Company converted the remaining holders with an aggregate of $ 580,000 338,419 0.00001 Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC - Public Offering On March 10, 2017, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (the “Underwriter”), relating to the issuance and sale of 2,333,334 1.50 1,166,667 1.3949 3.5 350,000 175,000 109,133 Extension Granted for Compliance with the NYSE MKT Listing Requirements On July 13, 2017, the Company received a notice from the NYSE MKT indicating that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(i), Section 1003(a)(ii), Section 1003(a)(iii), and Section 1003(a)(iv) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide. The Company is now in compliance with Section 1003(f)(v). The NYSE MKT has reviewed the Company’s most recent updates and determined to extend the plan period for the Company to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(iv) through November 27, 2017. The compliance date for Section 1003(a)(i), Section 1003(a)(ii), and Section 1003(a)(iii) remain November 27, 2017, as was previously stated in the NYSE MKT’s notice dated January 5, 2017 and disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on January 9, 2017. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the Company Guide by November 27, 2017, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE MKT will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide. New Director Appointment Effective July 25, 2017, the Company appointed Laura Thomas as an independent director of the Company. Ms. Thomas presently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Towerstream, Inc. Ms. Thomas previously served on the Board of Directors of Impact Telecom (“Impact”), a full-service telecommunications company, from January 2016 through December 2016, during which time she served as Chairman of the Board of Directors from January 2016 through June 2016. From December 2014 through December 2015 she served as the Chief Executive Officer of TNCI Operating Company, which acquired Impact in January 2016. From 2000 through 2014 she served in a variety of roles at XO Holdings, Inc. (now XO Communications), a telecommunications services provider, including as Chief Financial Officer from May 2009 through April 2011 and again from December 2013 through August 2014, and as Chief Executive Officer from April 2011 through December 2013. Dawson James Securities – Public Offering On November 9, 2017, the Company announced the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of its securities pursuant to which it issued an aggregate of 9,009,478 4,034 1,000 7,478,228 956,489 0.92 12 10,723,899 Joseph Gunnar Warrant Exercise On July 17, 2017, the Company entered into Warrant Exercise Agreements (the “Exercise Agreements”) with certain holders (the “Exercising Holders”) of outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,150,000 1.87 1.00 1.15 In consideration for the Exercising Holders exercising their Original Warrants, the Company issued to each Exercising Holder a new warrant (each, a “New Warrant”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock received by such Exercising Holder upon the cash exercise of such Exercising Holder’s Original Warrants. The terms of the New Warrants was substantially similar to the terms of the Original Warrants, except that the New Warrants will (i) have an exercise price equal to $ 1.39 The issuance of the New Warrants was not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The New Warrants were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Each Exercising Holder had represented that it is an accredited investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. In connection with the Exercise Agreements, the Company engaged Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC to act as the Company’s placement agent. The Company has agreed to pay Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC a cash fee equal to seven percent ( 7 New Employee Stock Option Plan On June 8, 2017, the Board adopted the 2017 Pareteum Corp. Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2017 Plan”), an omnibus equity incentive plan pursuant to which the Company may grant equity and equity-linked awards to officers, directors, consultants and others. The Board adopted the 2017 Plan as a means to offer incentives and attract, motivate and retain and reward persons eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan. Accordingly, the Board unanimously approved and adopted the 2017 Plan, including authorization of the issuance of 6,500,000 3,500,000 Based on our current expectations with respect to our revenue and expenses, we expect that our current level of cash and cash equivalents could be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. If our revenues do not grow as expected and if we are not able to manage expenses sufficiently, including required payments pursuant to the terms of the senior secured debt, we may be required to obtain additional equity or debt financing. Although we have previously been able to attract financing as needed, such financing may not continue to be available at all, or if available, on reasonable terms as required. Further, the terms of such financing may be dilutive to existing shareholders or otherwise on terms not favorable to us or existing shareholders. If we are unable to secure additional financing, as circumstances require, or do not succeed in meeting our sales objectives, we may be required to change or significantly reduce our operations or ultimately may not be able to continue our operations. As a result of our historical net losses and cash flow deficits, and net capital deficiency, these conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

These features facilitate and improve the ability of our channel partners to provide support and to drive sales. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2017, referred to as our 2016 Annual Report. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our results of operations and financial position for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year. For a complete summary of our significant accounting policies, please refer to Note 2, “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of our 2016 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements conforms with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of estimates include revenue recognition, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, bad debt allowance, valuation of financial instruments, useful lives of long lived assets and share-based compensation. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, “Statement of Cashflows – Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. This standard requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows under a retrospective transition approach. The guidance will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-18. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date (ASU 2015-14) to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and we are currently evaluating the application of the modified or full retrospective transition methods on our ongoing financial reporting. As part of our evaluation, we are reviewing all our present revenue generating contracts. We are in the process of reviewing our various revenue streams and their present categorization to determine the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our revenue recognition. The Company is evaluating the effect that the ASU on the materially impact if any on the amount and timing of consolidated revenues. However, there could be changes to the presentation of revenues on our statements of operations and additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We continue to actively monitor outstanding issues currently being addressed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Revenue Recognition Working Group and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Transition Resource Group, since conclusions reached by these groups may impact our application of these ASUs.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	Note 4. Fair Value Measurements In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), the Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows: Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these financial instruments include cash instruments for which quoted prices are available but are traded less frequently, derivative instruments whose fair values have been derived using a model where inputs to the model are directly observable in the market and instruments that are fair valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed. Level 3 – Instruments that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, Form 10-Q and Article 10 of SEC Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016, included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2017, referred to as our 2016 Annual Report. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our results of operations and financial position for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements conforms with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Significant areas of estimates include revenue recognition, valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, bad debt allowance, valuation of financial instruments, useful lives of long lived assets and share-based compensation. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, “Statement of Cashflows – Restricted Cash a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”. This standard requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows under a retrospective transition approach. The guidance will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-18. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date (ASU 2015-14) to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 and we are currently evaluating the application of the modified or full retrospective transition methods on our ongoing financial reporting. As part of our evaluation, we are reviewing all our present revenue generating contracts. We are in the process of reviewing our various revenue streams and their present categorization to determine the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our revenue recognition. The Company is evaluating the effect that the ASU on the materially impact if any on the amount and timing of consolidated revenues. However, there could be changes to the presentation of revenues on our statements of operations and additional disclosures around the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. We continue to actively monitor outstanding issues currently being addressed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Revenue Recognition Working Group and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Transition Resource Group, since conclusions reached by these groups may impact our application of these ASUs.
