Portugal Roaming

Like all EU member states, Portugal implements “roam like at home” rules, which means that when you use your mobile phone while traveling outside your home country in any EU country, you don’t have to pay any additional roaming charges. This applies to calling (to mobile and fixed phones), sending text messages (SMS), and using data services while abroad, and also when receiving calls or texts while roaming, even if the person you are calling is using a different service provider. You pay exactly the same price for using these services when traveling in the EU as you would if you were at home.

However, it’s important to note that outside the EU, such as on ships, cruisers, planes, etc., roaming charges still apply and can be very high. Alertify can help you find the best roaming solutions for Portugal or any other country.

eSIM cards for Portugal

We do recommend eSIM cards when traveling: no more swapping of physical 
SIM cards, everything is automated on your phone through easy to fill 
out codes. The downside of eSIM cards is that they are data-only SIM 
cards and calls are not supported. Check out  Austria eSIM deals:

1 GB With no expiration =  €2.80
3 GB With no expiration =  €8.13
5 GB With no expiration =  €13.13
10 GB With no expiration = €25.16
Choose between daily, monthly or plans with no expiration

SIM cards for Portugal

Prepaid Austria sim cards include free data roaming in the EU. Sometimes 
it is capped, so always ask when buying a sim card. Free EU roaming 
means the sim card you buy in Madrid or Barcelona can also be used in 
Paris, Prague or even Oslo. Free EU roaming on Spain SIM cards is great 
for those that arrive in Spain and travel to more countries in Europe 
on the same trip.

Or you can get a daily, monthly, or even SIM card for Austria without 
expiration.
