With a Vlex eSIM, you don’t need a local SIM card in Portugal, as you can connect to local mobile networks without changing your physical SIM. It’s very convenient for short trips and makes getting online simple and fast.
In Portugal, mobile internet speeds average around 40–50 Mbps, which is enough for smooth browsing, streaming video, and using messaging apps. With a Vlex eSIM, you can enjoy these speeds in all major areas across the country.
Not all phones support eSIM, so check your device’s compatibility before your trip. Most modern smartphones, such as iPhones and Android devices released after 2018, support eSIM technology.
Mobile network coverage in Portugal is generally very good, especially in cities and along popular tourist routes. With a Vlex eSIM, you get access to a reliable network with high-quality voice and data service.
Using a Vlex eSIM is usually much more cost‑effective than roaming, as you avoid high international call and data charges. This is especially important for longer trips when you need stable internet access for maps, apps, and social media.
