Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Portugal eSIM

Your eSIM connects to MEO, Vodafone Portugal, and NOS. All three operators provide 4G and 5G using the same bands (B1, B3, B7, B20, B28 for 4G; n28, n78 for 5G). This means you get broad coverage across the country, including rural areas where B20 is used.

Coverage in rural areas depends on your phone supporting band B20 (800 MHz). B20 is widely used for rural and indoor coverage by MEO, Vodafone, and NOS. Phones lacking B20 may lose signal outside cities. Check your device specs before traveling.

Yes, the eSIM works on the Azores and Madeira. All three operators—MEO, Vodafone Portugal, and NOS—provide 4G and 5G coverage on the islands using the same bands as the mainland. However, remote mountain or coastal spots may have gaps.

No data filtering, throttling, or blocking is applied to your eSIM connection in Portugal. You get the full median download speed of 71.22 Mbps (Ookla July 2025) on MEO, Vodafone, or NOS networks. Video streaming and VoIP work normally.

No, the eSIM’s coverage stops at the Portuguese border. It only connects to Portuguese networks (MEO, Vodafone Portugal, NOS). If you cross into Spain, your eSIM will not roam onto Spanish carriers. You would need a separate Spain eSIM for that.
