Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right SIM card?
Start by deciding if you have a Portuguese address and IBAN. If not, choose a prepaid or eSIM plan. Then pick the network with the best coverage for your area and the data allowance you need.
Which SIM card is best for newcomers?
A native eSIM from WOO or UZO is best because you can activate it before arrival and you do not need a Portuguese address.
Can I keep my number when switching?
Yes. Portuguese number portability is free and usually completed within one business day. Ask the new provider to start the porting process.
