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
I have used Airalo when traveling around Europe, I think they have plans for everywhere, and I have always been happy. I’m not sure about safety, but I always use my home PC as a tailscale exit node when I travel abroad so at least the traffic is encrypted until it gets to there.
I used saily when I went to PNG for work it wasn’t working where I was so I contacted them, they said oh it doesn’t work where I am.
Despite the website clearly stating it does. So fuck saily
There are so many esim providers with websites, use one of these instead. Search “(destination country) esim” in your favourite search engine. You will be presented with a QR code at the end, scan it with your phone (while still in your country or within WiFi range) and you’re done.
Saily is by Nord Security, also the company behind NordVPN
I used it the last time I travelled, it worked just fine, and I assumed it did the regular amount of data harvesting my daily phone and internet service providers do.
Recently in asia I used abestesim.com
It was a lot cheaper than anything else I could find, and worked perfectly.
I used Jetpac last time I needed an esim for travel. I did not install their app, but activated the esim manually with the facilities built in to the OS.
Can you get a physical esim from any provider and install any esims from any other provider in it? How can you go about this?
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.
