Saily eSIM: Plans, Prices, Coverage & Features

Saily is a prepaid travel eSIM service from Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN. It sells mobile-data plans for individual destinations, regions and broader international travel. Its standard data plans are designed for mobile internet, while a separate phone-number product can add calls and SMS when that is needed.

Yes. Saily is a travel eSIM product launched by Nord Security in March 2024. Nord Security also develops NordVPN, NordPass and NordLocker. Its Trustpilot profile currently shows 4.7 out of 5 from 30,668 reviews, and the badge above opens that live profile. Saily sells prepaid data packages, so the practical choice is still the exact destination, data allowance and validity that fit the trip.

This catalogue tracks Saily local plans in 151 destinations. Saily's own wider range also includes regional and Global products, so its official coverage count can be higher than the country list on this page. Choose the country page for the actual local plans, and open the included-country list before relying on a regional or Global product.

Yes. A local plan is for one named destination, a regional plan can cover several countries in one area, and a Global plan is intended for wider itineraries. The right choice depends on the route, not on the provider name. Compare the relevant coverage list before buying because regional and Global products have their own country lists and terms.

Start with the itinerary. For one country, compare the local packages for that destination. For several stops in the same region, check whether a regional plan includes every stop. For a trip that crosses regions, look at a Global plan. Then compare data allowance and validity before price per GB. A lower unit price is not a saving if the package is larger or lasts longer than the trip needs.

Unlimited options are available for selected destinations and plan types. Read the exact Unlimited plan before buying: the useful details are the high-speed allowance, what happens after it is used, the reset period, validity and hotspot terms. Do not assume an Unlimited option exists for every destination.

Saily Ultra is a recurring Global travel subscription, not a standard one-off country eSIM. It combines monthly travel data with travel and Nord Security benefits, and is designed for people who travel repeatedly. For one holiday in one country, compare a local plan first.

A standard Saily data plan is separate from Saily's optional US phone-number service. Saily says the add-on supplies a +1 number that can be paired with call minutes and SMS. It is not a local number for every destination, and it is not automatically included with a data plan, so select it only when a second US number and its supported calling terms fit the trip.

Yes. WhatsApp and iMessage use an internet connection after the account is set up, so they work over Saily mobile data. An existing WhatsApp account can continue using the number it was originally verified with. A Saily data plan is enough for app-based calls and messages; it does not by itself add ordinary mobile calls or SMS.

Saily publishes hotspot setup instructions for iPhone and Android. When the selected product allows tethering, a laptop, tablet or another phone uses the same data allowance as the main device. If laptop use is part of the trip, confirm hotspot terms on the selected plan before buying.

Saily says it provides 24/7 live chat and a Help Center. Use them for setup, activation and account questions. A website purchase sends the QR code by email; an eSIM bought in the app appears in the account profile. Open the support route in the app or Help Center if the eSIM will not install or connect.

Saily lists Virtual location, Ad blocker and Web protection as included app tools. Virtual location routes traffic through a remote server, while the blocker and web protection use DNS-based filtering. They can help with browsing controls on a trip. Saily says Virtual location is not a replacement for a full VPN.

Install Saily before departure while the phone has a reliable internet connection. The device must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. In Saily, install the profile, switch on data roaming for that eSIM and complete the destination-specific activation steps. Saily says the plan can activate automatically on arrival when the profile is turned on and roaming is enabled.

There is no provider-wide price winner. The comparison table above uses the same local product shape, 10 GB for 30 days, so it shows how the answer changes by destination. For a different country, allowance or trip length, open the country page and compare the exact packages rather than relying on a general ranking.
