Hi,

I need to leave my country for a couple days, but my cellphone plan doesn’t cover data oversea and I don’t like to rely on WiFi. A relative suggested that I try Saily, which is an esim provider that you can load with whatever you need in the country you’re visiting but I’m again reluctant to use an app when I don’t know how trustworthy it is.

Has anyone ever faced the same issue? Should I simply let go of my internet connexion and enjoy a couple days off the the internet?

Cheers and thanks for your help

      Esims aren’t physical. Normally it’s just a qr code you scan on your phone to install it. Moving them between phones aren’t always possible.

        Sorry I asked incorrectly…I thought Jetpac provided programmable sims, so I was asking. There seems to be some sort of hybrid SIMs, which behave like an eSIM and can download the whole eSIM data onto them, and then go around using them on a physical SIM tray. I’ve just heard of this and I"m not exactly sure how reliable those are.
