  1. Simon Mayo· Host0:00

    Now, Mark, you were telling me the other day about this Saily eSIM app.

  2. Mark Kermode· Host0:03

    Which one was that?

  3. Simon Mayo· Host0:04

    Well, the one I just install on my phone before I go abroad so that I can save loads of money on roaming and data charges when I'm there.

  4. Mark Kermode· Host0:13

    Ah, yes, it's dead simple. Install the Saily app on your device and choose a data plan. There are multiple plans in over two hundred destinations available at some of the best rates online. Then follow the instructions on the app to install the eSIM, and it'll be activated instantly on arrival.

  5. Simon Mayo· Host0:28

    So I don't have to buy a new SIM card when I get there?

  6. Mark Kermode· Host0:30

    Nope. There's no queuing at a dodgy airport kiosk. A Saily eSIM only needs to be installed once, and then you use the same one for each country you visit.

  7. Simon Mayo· Host0:38

    Great. Does it let me, uh, skip all the other queues too?

  8. Mark Kermode· Host0:41

    Well, funnily enough, with Saily Ultra, you can enjoy VIP travel perks like airport lounge access, fast-track services, priority support, advanced online security, and much more.

  9. Simon Mayo· Host0:51

    You'll be telling me we've got a voucher code next.

  10. Mark Kermode· Host0:53

    Oh, yes, and don't forget to apply the code TAKE, T-A-K-E, at checkout to get a fifteen percent discount.

  11. Simon Mayo· Host1:00

    Howdy, partner.

  12. Mark Kermode· Host1:01

    Um, hello, Simon Mayo.

  13. Simon Mayo· Host1:03

    I was just thinking the other day about the good old days.

  14. Mark Kermode· Host1:05

    What? The good old days in the Wild West. What's that... What's with the howdy partner thing?

  15. Simon Mayo· Host1:09

    Well, I was just thinking that when we started out in the radio- Yeah ... we were lucky 'cause we had each other to bounce off. But most people don't have that support from a partner- Oh, I see ... when they're starting out in business, and they can get overwhelmed easily.

  16. Mark Kermode· Host1:24

    Yeah, very true. But they could try Shopify. [bell dings] Shopify is the commerce
