Travelling from Ireland? Portugal is inside EU roaming, so a bill-pay plan may already cover you. This eSIM is for prepay customers, fair-use caps, family hotspotting, or anyone arriving from outside the EU. Here's how to decide.
How much data do I need in Portugal?
| Trip style | Per day | One week | Two weeks |

| + Social media & music | ~700MB | 5GB | 10GB |

Portugal eSIM FAQ
Which network does the Portugal eSIM use?
It connects to MEO and NOS, with automatic fallback to Vodafone where available. Expect 4G LTE / 5G wherever the network provides it.
I'm on an Irish plan. Do I need an eSIM for Portugal?
Portugal is inside the EU roaming zone, so bill-pay plans usually include your domestic allowance. An eSIM makes sense if your plan has a low fair-use cap, you're on a prepay bundle with limited roaming data, you're sharing a hotspot with family, or you're travelling from outside the EU. Check your plan's roaming page first; we'd rather you didn't buy what you don't need.
When does the 7-day or 30-day validity start?
Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Portugal. You can install it days or weeks in advance.
Can I use the hotspot in Portugal?
Yes. Tethering to a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone is allowed on every plan.
Can I make calls or send texts?
Plans are data-only. Use WhatsApp, FaceTime or Signal for calls. Your Irish number keeps receiving calls and texts on your physical SIM.
Can I top up if I run out?
Yes. Top-ups are available from the order portal while your plan is active, and apply without reinstalling anything.
