“I live in Portugal and travel frequently, so using an eSIM provider seemed like the logical choice. Among the many options available, I chose Airalo for its competitive packages. Initially, the service worked as advertised for about a month, but since then, I’ve faced nothing but persistent and infuriating issues.
It appears that national networks have blocked Airalo from connecting, rendering the service practically useless. Unfortunately, Airalo’s support has been utterly unhelpful. Despite countless support tickets, messages, and screenshots, there has been no resolution.
What’s worse, Airalo refuses to provide a refund, instead forcing customers to accept Airalo credit. This so-called “credit” is completely worthless to me since their service does not work.
This has been a massive waste of time and productivity, especially since I rely heavily on mobile data for my work. The lack of accountability and support from Airalo is both frustrating and unacceptable.
I strongly advise anyone considering Airalo to avoid them at all costs and look for more reliable alternatives. Do not waste your money or your time.”
“Fast 5G speeds in Madeira, Portugal (and the airport in Lisbon). Only downside is you can't check data usage — though with 30GBs for our seven-day trip we didn't really need to.”
Airalo does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for Portugal. The plans that carry the name “Unlimited” provide only 3GB per day of high‑speed data; after that limit is reached the speed is reduced to 1000 kbps. Travelers who need more data can choose from fixed‑data plans instead. For instance, the 100 GB plan is available for 180 days at $185.00, and several 50 GB plans are offered for 30‑day or 90‑day validity at prices ranging from $35.00 to $100.00. These fixed‑data options give a larger, uncapped amount of high‑speed data, and may be more cost‑effective for users who consume a lot of data during their stay.
Airalo does not provide an eSIM for Portugal that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can only purchase data‑only plans, which allow internet access but do not support traditional voice calls or SMS.
To make voice or text calls, users can rely on the data connection through popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage. These services work fully over the data line and are suitable for communication while traveling.
Airalo provides a range of options that cover Portugal. In total there are 18 single‑country plans and 58 multi‑country plans that include Portugal, giving travelers 76 distinct data packages for the region. The single‑country plans are typically fixed data packages that deliver a set amount of data for a set validity period, while the multi‑country plans are often based on a daily data cap that resets each day and may include other European destinations. Across both categories the price spectrum ranges from about $4 up to $185, the data caps span from 1 GB to 100 GB, and validity can be as short as 3 days or as long as 365 days.
