When I was planning my three-week trip to India, one thing was non-negotiable- I needed an eSIM that could keep up with the intense amount of traveling I had lined up. Over 21 days, I moved through 7 cities, constantly navigating new neighborhoods and booking transport, so my internet connection had to be as reliable as possible.

After testing numerous eSIM services at TechRadar, Saily’s Ultra plan intrigued me the most because it bundles a wide variety of travel-friendly features into one monthly subscription.

But before I dive into my experience, here’s what the plan actually offers- Saily Ultra comes with a global 30 GB data plan (unlimited data throttled up to 1 Mbps) covering over 120 destinations, a monthly airport lounge and fast track passes, and Saily's security features.

And because Saily sits under the Nord Security umbrella, it also bundles the subscription with NordVPN, NordLocker, NordPass, and Incogni.

Why did I choose the Saily Ultra subscription?

For this trip, I wasn't just looking for reliable internet; I also needed a connection that was strong and consistent enough to support remote work. What appealed to me about Saily Ultra was the data structure: you get high-speed data of up to 30GB per month, followed by unlimited data capped at 1 Mbps. While this isn’t “unlimited” in the traditional sense, it meant I never fully lost connectivity and could still stay online for emails, messaging, navigation, and light work tasks.

Unlimited hotspot sharing was another major benefit, as I was able to connect to my work laptop whenever needed. In fact, at one point, I also shared hotspot with friends without facing any noticeable drop in performance.

Beyond the data experience, I was quite excited to see NordVPN included as part of the subscription. The added layer of security from the wider Nord Security bundle felt especially valuable while travelling.
