Stay Connected in Portugal: eSIM and SIM in 2025

Do you dream of an unforgettable trip to Portugal without worrying about your internet connection? Are you looking to stay connected to share your discoveries, navigate safely, or work remotely while enjoying the Portuguese sun? At GoMoWorld, we understand how crucial it is to have a reliable and affordable connectivity solution while traveling, and we are here to guide you on the best eSIM and SIM card options for Portugal in 2025.

Why choose an eSIM or SIM card in Portugal? 🇵🇹

Portugal attracts millions of visitors each year with its stunning landscapes, historic cities, and warm culture. But no matter the length of your stay – whether it's a few days getaway or an extended visit – staying connected is essential.

eSIMs, unlike traditional SIM cards, come in digital form, allowing you to activate a data plan without the need to physically change cards. This innovative technology makes it easy to purchase and activate plans upon your arrival, offers centralized management of your subscriptions, and even allows you to keep your usual number for calls and texts via smart apps. Moreover, their flexible plans and compatibility with a multitude of devices (iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel…) make them the number one choice for modern travelers.

Good to know: an eSIM saves you time by avoiding queues in physical stores or searching for a point of sale, which is particularly advantageous in tourist cities where time is precious.

The essential criteria for choosing your connected solution 📋

Before you dive into purchasing an eSIM or SIM card for Portugal, it's helpful to identify your needs. Here are a few points to consider:

Length of stay 📅 – Do you need a solution for a few days, two weeks, or an entire month?

Data consumption 📊 – Are you more of a casual user who browses, checks emails, and uses social media, or a heavy user of streaming and video calls?

Network coverage 📡 – Are you planning to stay mainly in major cities like Lisbon or Porto, or are you looking to explore less urbanized areas where coverage might be different?

Ease of activation ⚡ – Do you prefer a solution that can be activated immediately via a mobile app, or are you comfortable with a manual setup?

These criteria will help you compare offers and find the connectivity solution that perfectly matches your travel profile.

Perfect

After a first trial in Montenegro a few years ago, we used GoMoWorld again this year in Turkey — another great success! We bought two eSIMs, one for me and one for my husband, and everything worked perfectly. I highly recommend GoMoWorld. Thank you so much!

Good service for very correct price

I used this service two times in last several months, first time Europe plan (used in France), and the next one was for Spain. No problems, good coverage, mostly 5G. Very easy to set and to activate.

It saves me time and money

By using GoMoWorld eSIM I can just buy the plan for the country I'm visiting and activate it the night before traveling no need to find a wifi in my destination. I can also hotspot the plan with the kids

Recommended for travelling

So far, I've used GoMoWorld in several countries (USA, Guatemala, and Vietnam), and the coverage was good every time. It’s also consistently cheaper than other eSIM providers. Only in Mexico did we occasionally have connection issues, but I emailed them and they responded immediately with a suitable solution. I’m very happy with the service GoMoWorld offers and would recommend them to everyone.
