Stay online abroad with Saily eSIM: travel comfortably & browse more securely

You land, switch off flight mode — and you’re online. No hunting for a SIM shop, no roaming shock, no “I’ll sort it later”. If you’re a student travelling spontaneously or heading away for longer, being online isn’t a luxury — it’s how you keep things simple and predictable.

Why students often pay for roaming abroad unnecessarily

Roaming is one of those classic travel slip-ups: nobody plans it, but it still happens. Because before you fly you think, “I’ll only need Maps for a moment.” Or because between luggage, trains and gates, nobody has the headspace to check settings. Meanwhile, an update runs in the background, cloud backup kicks in, you scroll a few stories — and suddenly “just a little” turns into a bill that feels like a second plane ticket.

On top of that, students often travel budget-first and fairly flexible: a city break in the holidays, a long weekend, backpacking with route changes. Roaming costs simply don’t match that “I want freedom, not financial surprises” mindset. If you want to avoid roaming, you need something that stays effortless — even when the plan changes.

What Saily is — in one sentence

Saily is an eSIM app that lets you get mobile data abroad without swapping a physical SIM card.

In other words: you keep your phone, your number and your everyday setup — and add mobile data abroad for your travels. No technical overload, no fiddly SIM swapping. Especially when you’re on the move and don’t need another admin task, that matters.

Comfort: how you stay online straight away (benefits only)

When you travel, it’s not just whether you have internet — it’s how quickly you’re back to being capable. Saily as an eSIM is built around removing friction: less faff, more “it just works”.

• No SIM-card juggling: no tiny card to swap, no losing anything, no paperclip gymnastics.
• Get oriented faster: Maps, translation, tickets, messaging — you minimise the “offline gap” after you arrive.
• Works for spontaneous trips: if “two days” turns into “five”, or you add another country, you don’t want to start from scratch.
• Less reliance on luck: not every hostel Wi-Fi is decent, not every café connection is stable. With mobile data abroad, you’re more independent.

Bottom line: you travel more calmly because being online isn’t its own mini project.

Security on the go: why it matters

A lot of travel life runs on public networks: airports, trains, hostels, co-working spaces, cafés. Convenient — but it’s also a setting where you rarely know who else is on the same Wi-Fi, or how the network is actually configured.

The risk isn’t just “movie hacker” stuff. Simple things like insecure networks, lookalike fake hotspots, or aggressive tracking can mean you share more data than you intended. And if you’re quickly checking banking, booking accommodation or logging into accounts while travelling, that becomes relevant.

Using mobile data abroad via an eSIM can at least reduce how dependent you are on public Wi-Fi. That doesn’t mean everything is automatically safe — but you do gain an extra, often more controlled way to connect. For me, it’s one of those low-drama decisions that quietly reduces stress.

The Saily feature I genuinely rate: Ad Blocker

One feature that makes Saily feel noticeably smoother is the Ad Blocker. Not as a “magic shield”, but as a practical travel companion.

What does it do for you day-to-day abroad?

• Less clutter when you’re searching quickly: opening times, train connections, restaurant info — fewer banners pulling your focus.
• Less tracking creepiness: when you’re bouncing across unfamiliar sites in “I need this now” mode, it’s reassuring if fewer trackers are tagging along.
• A calmer browsing experience on a student mindset: you don’t want every click to feel like “data drain plus distraction” — less ad overhead can make things feel cleaner.

For students who improvise a lot on the move (and end up hopping across loads of pages), it’s exactly the kind of feature you don’t plan around — but you miss it once it’s gone.

Where kingpay fits in

When you’re travelling, keeping an eye on money is almost as important as keeping an eye on internet access. kingpay fits here as a payment card + app combo: you can pay day-to-day and on trips, track spending more clearly, and organise your travel budget without turning it into a finance project. And as a small extra, you can get a discount on Saily via the kingpay link (for new and existing customers), usable directly when downloading / in the app after registration.
