Are apps such as Saily safe? (lemmy.zip)

Hi,

I need to leave my country for a couple days, but my cellphone plan doesn't cover data oversea and I don't like to rely on WiFi. A relative suggested that I try Saily, which is an esim provider that you can load with whatever you need in the country you're visiting but I'm again reluctant to use an app when I don't know how trustworthy it is.

Has anyone ever faced the same issue? Should I simply let go of my internet connexion and enjoy a couple days off the the internet?

Cheers and thanks for your help

I used saily when I went to PNG for work it wasn't working where I was so I contacted them, they said oh it doesn't work where I am.

Despite the website clearly stating it does. So fuck saily
