Portugal has three major operators: MEO, NOS and Vodafone, with DIGI as a value challenger since 2025. Coverage is excellent along the Algarve, in Lisbon and Porto and in most tourist areas. On the mainland, 4G is available almost everywhere. Madeira and the Azores have good 4G coverage, although 5G there is still limited to larger cities. Networks: MEO, NOS, Vodafone.
For a week of sun and beach on the Algarve or a city trip to Lisbon and Porto, 5 to 8 GB is more than enough. Free wifi is widespread in restaurants and bars.
Portugal falls under EU roaming, so your home bundle works there normally. An eSIM helps if you want more data or your bundle is small.
