Mobile networks in Portugal
Portugal's main mobile networks are MEO, NOS and Vodafone, and Digi launched as a fourth in 2024. A travel eSIM connects to one of them as a roaming partner, which is why data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. The partner network can differ from plan to plan, so check the plan details, or ask us at support@esimlounge.com before you buy.
