When you're shopping for travel data online, what do you look for first? Is it network reliability, data caps, or just finding the absolute cheapest rate?

I’m currently wholesaling both providers and setting up packages at exactly 50% off their standard online rates (including the big Europe and Japan plans). Before I roll them out completely, I want to make sure I understand what matters most to you guys when you're working out of cafes or coliving spaces.

What has your experience been with their speeds, app usability, and customer support when things drop mid-sprint? Let me know!

I buy a local pre-paid SIM wherever my destination is. It usually ends up being cheaper.

Make sure to avoid travel SIM cards, get a real pre-paid like a local would.

I still have a Telcel card from Mexico I could technically reload and get unlimited calls, text and data anywhere in the world for the equivalent of $30 CAD/month, but it has a Mexican number.

I've used saily when I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic for 10 days. I didn't need a lot of data, just enough for maps outside the resort, etc. But it was crazy affordable, and their customer support was prompt, friendly, and helpful when I needed a bit of assistance with the activation.

All in all, I'd use saily again in the future.
