Imagine you’re on a dream holiday or business trip, you open your browser to find the best local restaurant, and instead of useful information, you’re bombarded with ads in a foreign language you don’t even understand. What’s worse? You’re paying for every one of these unnecessary loads from your data package. That’s exactly the scenario you can elegantly avoid with Saily, a travel eSIM from the makers of NordVPN that does much more than just provide data abroad.
What is Saily and why should you care?
Saily is not just an ordinary eSIM travel app. It’s a smart solution that combines low-cost mobile data in over 200 destinations with advanced security features. Most importantly, an independent audit confirmed that Saily’s built-in ad blocking saves an average of 28.6% on mobile data.
This means that if you have a 5GB data plan, you’ll have almost 1.5GB left over just by not downloading ads you don’t care about.
How does it all work?
Saily uses the DNS filtering technology you know from NordVPN – specifically, Threat Protection. Blocking ads and malicious domains is done at the network level, so you don’t have to install any extra apps or complicated mobile setup. You simply activate Saily and surf safer, faster and, most importantly, more economically.
The independent testing, conducted by the renowned West Coast Labs, involved visiting 22 popular websites in areas such as e-commerce, entertainment and travel. The result? Without the ad blocker, data consumption was 276.3 MB. With Saily and blocking active, only 184.1 MB. That’s savings you’ll actually feel – not just on your data, but on your wallet.
Saily vs. the competition: why it’s smart to have more than just data
There are many travel eSIM providers on the market. Most of them will offer you the basics – you just buy a data package and go. But Saily goes much further. It’s not just about cheap data in over 200 countries. Here, you get something extra that your competitors don’t usually offer – security and savings in one package.
During testing, they compared Saily with four other eSIM providers. The result was clear – Saily with an active ad blocker consumed less data on each page visited. And that’s without any user intervention. Just turn the app on and it takes care of the rest.
Ad blocker and tracker protection? Yes, even on the go!
You might think you have ad blocking sorted out at home on your computer thanks to browser extensions. But what if you’re on your mobile and abroad? That’s where Saily shows its power. It protects you from an average of 220 ads and trackers every day.
And if you’re one of the more “active” internet users, it could easily be several thousand blocked attempts a day – the record holder had over 16,000 blocks in a single day!
All of this runs in the background thanks to network protection that filters out malicious domains and annoying ads before they ever reach your device. The result is not only data savings, but also faster page loads and a higher level of privacy.
Virtual location? Travel smart and safe
Another feature that deserves your attention is the ability to select a virtual location. Saily allows you to choose from over 115 countries to “virtually” connect from. This means you can avoid some geo-restrictions or simply increase the security of your connection on public Wi-Fi networks. And you don’t need to be an IT expert – everything is set up automatically.
Pricing, tariffs and simplicity – Saily relies on speed and availability
When you say “eSIM for travel”, most people worry about the complex setup and high prices. But with Saily, it’s just the opposite. Once you’ve chosen one of their data packages (and there really are a lot of them – there are hundreds of variants on offer for over 200 destinations), a few clicks and you’ll have your eSIM active in no time.
No waiting, no scanning complicated QR codes. Saily is designed so that even less tech-savvy users can do everything themselves – perfect for when you realise you don’t have a local SIM card at the airport or hotel.
Another big plus is that all security features (ad blocking, tracker protection, web protection and virtual location) are automatically included. There are no hidden fees for “premium features”, as is sometimes the case with competitors.
24/7 support – because problems don’t know time zones
Another thing worth mentioning is customer support. Travelling to another country, something isn’t working and you need help? Saily offers non-stop chat support, so you can reach them anytime, no matter if you’re in Europe, Asia or America. And that’s more useful than you’d expect when you’re travelling.
Who is Saily ideal for?
- Frequent travellers who don’t want to deal with buying local SIM cards every time.
- Digital nomads who need a reliable and secure connection from anywhere.
- Families on holiday who want to save on data and protect their children from inappropriate content and tracking.
- Businessmen and managers who often work from hotels and cafes.
Tips to save even more mobile data on the go
While Saily already saves data, here are a few tips on how to multiply the savings:
- Wi-Fi-only updates – turn off automatic updates for apps outside of Wi-Fi.
- Offline maps – download maps in advance.
- Lower video quality – set a lower resolution when streaming.
- Use an ad blocker wherever you can – Saily handles this for you at the network level.
- Check which background apps are “eating” data.
Conclusion: why always have Saily on hand?
Travel is about experiences, not the stress of running out of data or the fear of dangerous networks. Saily offers a smart solution that combines the flexibility of an eSIM with advanced protection and real cost savings. Whether you’re heading off on a weekend trip to Europe or planning a month in Asia, Saily will give you peace of mind and peace of wallet.
