How Unlimited Data Works in Portugal
Europe Unlimited Data Plans provide unlimited mobile data in Portugal with a high-speed data allowance for each 24-hour period. The amount of high-speed data depends on the plan level you select.
After the high-speed allowance is used, unlimited data remains available at managed speeds until the next 24-hour period begins, when the high-speed allowance becomes available again.
For complete details about high-speed allowances, managed speeds, plan activation, validity, and expiry, review the Fair Usage, Activation & Expiry Policy.

Using Mobile Data During Your Portugal Trip
Mobile data can make it easier to stay connected throughout a Portugal trip, whether you are visiting for a holiday, business travel, a multi-country European itinerary, or a longer stay. Popular destinations such as Lisbon, Porto, Sintra, Faro, and Madeira can be part of the same trip, so having mobile data available as you move between accommodation, transportation, attractions, meetings, and other travel arrangements can be especially convenient.
- Getting around: Access maps, transportation information, accommodation details, reservations, and travel documents while you are on the move.
- Days away from accommodation: Stay connected while sightseeing, taking day trips, or travelling between destinations without relying only on available Wi-Fi.
- Business travel: Use email, browser-based services, messaging, video meetings, and other online tools during your trip.
- Hotspot and router use: Share your connection with a laptop or tablet, or use the SIM Card in a compatible unlocked travel router or MiFi device when needed.
Your Portugal SIM Card can connect to supported partner networks including MEO [4G/5G] and NOS [3G/4G/5G]. Network availability depends on your location, device, and local network conditions.
