Saily eSIM Review: Plans From $1.99 + 20% Off Code

ESIMADVICE LISTING Verified 1,183 live plans · 200 countries

Saily review: our honest take

Saily is the travel eSIM built by Nord Security, the team behind NordVPN, and it shows: every plan ships with a DNS-based ad blocker and web protection, and the app can even route your traffic through NordVPN servers to change your virtual location. Setup is deliberately app-first — you install the eSIM with one tap in the Saily app instead of juggling QR codes, and the plan only starts counting down once you actually connect at your destination. We track 1183 live Saily plans across 200 countries, starting at $1.99, and our ESIMDUDE code takes 20% off — applied automatically to the prices you see on this site.

Match the plan to your trip length and expected data usage before choosing Saily.

Check whether hotspot, 5G, roaming partners, and fair-use limits fit your phone and destination.

Confirm final taxes, activation timing, refund terms, and supported networks on the provider checkout page.

👍 What we like

✓Built by Nord Security (the NordVPN company), with an ad blocker and web protection bundled into every plan at no extra cost

✓One-tap eSIM install inside the Saily app — no QR code scanning required, and the plan auto-activates only when you connect at your destination

✓Optional virtual-location feature routes your traffic through NordVPN servers, useful for keeping a home-country IP while abroad

✓Big catalog on our site: 1183 live plans covering 200 countries, from $1.99

✓370 unlimited-data options for travelers who don't want to meter usage

✓In-app top-ups extend a running plan without reinstalling the eSIM

👎 Worth noting

–No pay-as-you-go or no-expiry option (0 in our catalog): validity runs continuously from activation and any unused data is forfeited when the period ends

–The app is mandatory for installing and managing the eSIM — there is no fully app-free QR workflow like some travelers prefer

–Plans auto-activate 30 days after purchase even if you never travel, which can quietly burn a plan bought too far in advance

–Refunds become conditional the moment a plan activates — it is not a no-questions money-back guarantee

How Saily works

1Pick a plan

Choose a Saily plan above by destination, data, and validity. Prices already include any eSIMAdvice coupon.

2Install over Wi-Fi

Buy through the provider, then scan the QR code or use their app to add the eSIM to your phone before you travel.

3Connect on arrival

Turn the eSIM line on for data when you land — your main SIM stays active for calls and texts.

About Saily

You can buy a Saily plan on the web or in the app, but installation happens through the Saily app (iOS/Android) — tap install and the eSIM profile is added without scanning a QR code, though QR and manual-entry fallbacks exist for edge cases. Install before you fly: the plan sits dormant and activates automatically when you connect to a partner network at your destination (or 30 days after purchase, whichever comes first). Validity counts from activation, and you can top up a running plan from the app without reinstalling anything. Payment is by credit/debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Buying through esimadvice.com, the 20% ESIMDUDE discount is already reflected in the prices you see.

Saily — quick answers

What is the cheapest Saily plan, and how many plans are there?

We currently track 1183 live Saily plans across 200 countries, with prices starting at $1.99. That count includes 370 unlimited-data plans for heavier users. All prices shown on esimadvice.com already have our 20% discount applied.

Is there a working Saily discount code?

Yes — code ESIMDUDE gives 20% off Saily plans. On esimadvice.com it is applied automatically to the displayed prices, so the figure you see is the figure you pay; you do not need to type the code in at checkout when you go through our links.

When does a Saily plan actually start, and can data expire?

You install the eSIM through the Saily app before your trip, and the plan activates when you first connect to a supported network at your destination — or automatically 30 days after purchase if you have not connected by then. Validity counts down continuously from activation, and any data left when the period ends expires; it cannot be carried over, though you can top up an active plan from the app.

What security features come with a Saily eSIM?

Because Saily is made by Nord Security (the NordVPN company), plans include a DNS-based ad blocker and web protection at no extra cost — the ad blocking also trims background data use. There is also a virtual-location feature that routes your traffic through NordVPN servers so you can browse with a different country's IP while traveling.

Can I get a refund from Saily if I don't use my plan?

If you never installed the eSIM, or installed it but never activated the plan, you are eligible for a full refund — request it within 30 days of purchase, and Saily even has an online auto-refund center. Once a plan is activated, a refund is only considered for Saily-side quality problems or if more than 99% of the data is unused. Decisions usually take up to five working days.
