Saily is a simple, data-only travel eSIM from Nord Security with plans in 200+ destinations, often from $3.99 for 1 GB. It installs from the app, activates when you land and adds an ad blocker and web protection.
The catch: plans are data only. Calls and texts need the optional US phone number add-on.
A good travel eSIM should be cheap enough to beat roaming, easy to set up at home and quiet once you land. Here is how Saily does on each, and where it falls short.
How Saily works
- Pick your destination on saily.com or in the Saily app and buy a plan.
- Install the eSIM from the app on Wi-Fi. No QR code is needed.
- Turn on data roaming for the Saily line. The plan activates automatically when you arrive.
You have 180 days after purchase to activate a plan, so you can sort it out well before the trip. Once a plan is active, it can’t be paused.
Plans and prices
Saily sells country plans, regional plans and a Global plan. Here are fixed-data prices for some popular trips:
| Destination | 1 GB, 7 days | 5 GB, 30 days | 20 GB, 30 days |

| Japan | $3.99 | $10.99 | $24.99 |

Regional plans cover several countries in one: Europe (35 countries) and Asia and Oceania (22) start at $4.99, and the Global plan covers 121 countries from $8.99. Many destinations also have unlimited plans for 5 to 30 days, with speed dropping to about 1 Mbps after each day’s high-speed allowance.

- Unlimited isn’t full speed all day. Heavy users hit the 1 Mbps cap.
- Refunds are strict. You can get a full refund within 30 days only if the eSIM isn’t installed or the plan isn’t activated. After that, Saily treats the plan as used.
- Turkey: the Saily app and website may not load inside Turkey, so buy and install before you go.

Who should pick Saily?
It’s a good fit for short trips, multi-country trips on one regional plan, and anyone who wants setup done before the flight. If you need lots of full-speed data every day, compare the unlimited rules before you buy. Want more detail?
