How to choose the right plan
- Light use — maps, messaging and browsing — needs about 1 GB per day.
- Heavy use — social video, streaming or hotspotting a laptop — plan for 2-3 GB per day or pick the largest plan.
- Match the validity to your trip length, with a day or two of buffer for delays.
How activation works
- Buy the plan and receive your eSIM by email within minutes.
- Install it from your phone settings while still at home — no store visit, no plastic SIM.
- Land in Portugal, enable the eSIM line, and you are online before leaving the airport.
All Portugal eSIM plans
Between tram routes, Douro train times and finding the next pastel de nata, your phone earns its keep in Portugal. An eSIM has you online at Lisbon arrivals for less than a single day of roaming charges.
Tram apps, Comboios de Portugal tickets and a map through Alfama's unnamed alleys all want a signal. An eSIM means you land at LIS and ride the metro into town instead of paying roaming for the privilege of getting lost.
