About eSIMs in Portugal
Choose a Portugal eSIM with the data allowance and validity period that fit your trip. Plans are available from 1 GB to 50 GB, plus unlimited data options, with durations from 1 to 30 days.
Coverage & networks
The eSIM connects to NOS and Vodafone networks in Portugal, with 5G available. It is data-only, so calls and texts are not included.
How much data you need
For light use such as maps, messages and occasional browsing, a smaller plan may be suitable. If you expect to stream, use hotspot or stay longer, consider 10 GB, 20 GB or 50 GB. Unlimited data is also available. You can top up if you need more data during your trip.
Setting it up
Select the data allowance and validity period that match your stay, then install the eSIM on your compatible device. Available validity periods range from 1 to 30 days. Keep your regular SIM available for calls and texts if needed, as these plans are data-only.
