Who is Saily? Meet the eSIM operator
Saily is a travel eSIM provider launched by the team behind NordVPN, one of the world references in consumer cybersecurity. That positioning shows in the product: where most players sell data only, Saily builds security features directly into its app, with no extra subscription.
In practice, the iPhone and Android app ships with a virtual location (make your traffic appear to come from another region), an ad blocker and a web protection layer that filters malicious sites. For travelers who often connect to unknown networks, it is a genuine differentiator against other eSIM providers.
Like the rest of the industry, Saily does not own its own network: the brand resells access to local partner operators in around 190 destinations, under a unified technical layer. That explains the broad coverage, but also the variability of 4G/5G speeds from one country to the next. The eSIM is unique and reusable: once installed, you buy new plans without reinstalling anything.
On the product side, Saily distinguishes two families: standard fixed-volume plans (Datadopt lists 133, starting under 2 € for 1 GB / 7 days) and unlimited data plans (23 active plans) subject to a fair use policy. The eSIMs are data only: no calls or texts over the mobile network, voice goes through WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal.
Is Saily reliable? With over 26,000 Trustpilot reviews rated 4.7/5, an app at 4.72/5 on the App Store and 4.58/5 on Google Play, the reputation is solid for a recent player. The refund policy is standard: full refund as long as the eSIM has not consumed any data, case-by-case review afterwards. Points to watch: a catalog less deep than some generalist players, and speeds that depend on the local partner operator.

Recurring strengths
- Polished iOS and Android app: purchase, guided installation and data tracking in one place
- Security features included (virtual location, ad blocker, web protection) at no extra cost
- 24/7 chat support seen as responsive for installation and connection issues
- Aggressive entry prices on small volumes (1 GB / 7 days under the 2 € mark)
Points to watch
- Data only: no calls or texts over the mobile network (voice via WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal)
- Fair use on unlimited plans: speed may be reduced after very heavy usage
- Catalog less deep than some generalist players (156 active plans listed on Datadopt)
- Speeds vary with the local partner operator: 5G possible in some countries, 4G or 3G elsewhere
Our take: Saily is a sound choice for travelers who care about the security of their connection (unknown Wi-Fi networks, business trips) and for those who want a single app that handles everything. For a deeper catalog per destination, Airalo remains a serious alternative; for heavy streaming on long stays, Holafly unlimited plans compare usefully with Saily's.
Saily coverage: where do the plans work?
Saily offers eSIM plans in around 190 destinations, grouped into three types: single-country, regional and global. Here are the destinations travelers search for most, with a direct link to the matching Saily plans.
Popular destinations covered
⚠️ A warning for China
China blocks Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and much of the Western web (Great Firewall). The Saily China eSIM relies on a local operator, so the blocking applies. The virtual location included in the Saily app can help you get your usual services back, but also install a full VPN before you leave (NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN): once there, VPN download sites are themselves blocked.
Saily plan types
Country plan
An eSIM dedicated to a single destination, in fixed volume (1, 3, 5, 10, 20 GB...) for a set number of days. Ideal for a targeted trip (Japan, United States, Thailand).
Regional plan
A single eSIM for several neighboring countries (Europe, Asia, North America...). Handy for a multi-country itinerary without switching eSIMs along the way.
Unlimited plan
Unlimited data with fair use on eligible destinations. A readable format for stays where you do not want to count your GB (streaming, remote work, photo sharing).
Global plan
An eSIM that follows the traveler from one country to the next thanks to automatic switching between partner operators. Built for round-the-world trips and digital nomads.
Saily FAQ
Is there an active Saily promo code?▾
Yes: the Discount code DATAEVERYWHERE gives you 10% off Saily plans. Enter it at checkout, on the website or in the app (see the widget at the bottom of the page to copy it in one click). Saily also runs occasional internal promotions.
How do I install and activate a Saily eSIM?▾
Everything goes through the Saily app (iOS and Android): buy a plan, then follow the guided installation or scan the QR code provided. On iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM. On Android: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Download a SIM. The eSIM is reusable: for future trips, simply buy a new plan with no reinstallation. Only activate the plan once you are on site to preserve its validity period.
Is Saily data really unlimited?▾
Saily offers 23 unlimited data plans on top of its 133 standard plans. Unlimited is subject to a fair use policy: beyond very heavy usage, speed may be temporarily reduced to protect the partner network. For everyday usage (streaming, social media, browsing, maps), most travelers notice no limit at all.
What do Saily security features bring?▾
It is Saily's differentiator, launched by the team behind NordVPN: the app includes at no extra cost a virtual location (route your traffic through another region), an ad blocker and a web protection layer that filters malicious sites. It is not a full VPN, but it covers the essential security needs while traveling.
Can I use tethering (hotspot) with Saily?▾
Yes, tethering is allowed on Saily plans: you can connect a laptop or a tablet to the eSIM data. On unlimited plans, fair use applies to total consumption, hotspot included.
Can I make calls and send texts with Saily?▾
No, Saily plans are data only: no phone number to receive calls or texts over the mobile network. You keep your usual number on your main SIM (dual SIM) and make your calls via WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal.
How do I top up a Saily plan?▾
From the Saily app, without reinstalling any eSIM: buy a new plan for the same destination or the next one, and it is added to your existing eSIM. Handy for extending a stay at the last minute or chaining several countries.
Does Saily refund if something goes wrong?▾
Yes: full refund as long as the eSIM has not consumed any data (contact the 24/7 chat support within 30 days of purchase). After consumption: case-by-case review for a proven malfunction, not for simple usage. Always test the data on arrival before relying on it heavily.
Saily or Airalo: which should you choose?▾
Saily = security built into the app (virtual location, ad blocker, web protection), standard and unlimited plans, aggressive entry prices. Airalo = a noticeably deeper catalog (several hundred plans per destination), the historic reference of the market. If the security of your connection matters, Saily is a sound choice; for the widest range of options per destination, compare with Airalo on Datadopt.
Is my phone compatible with Saily?▾
iPhone XS and later (2018+), Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, Google Pixel 3+, Xiaomi 13+, OnePlus 11+ global versions and most recent eSIM smartphones. Check for the "EID" field in Settings → General → About (iPhone) or in the SIM settings (Android). See our complete eSIM smartphone compatibility guide for the detailed list of all models.
