“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 have a truly unlimited data eSIM for Portugal. All of its plans labeled “Unlimited” provide a daily cap of 3GB; after that limit is reached the speed drops to 1000 kbps. Because the data allowance is not unlimited, the plans are considered fixed‑data plans. Travelers who need more data without speed throttling can choose from Airalo’s fixed‑data options, such as a 100 GB plan valid for 180 days or a 50 GB plan valid for 30 days. These plans offer higher data volumes and may be more cost‑effective for heavy‑data users.
Airalo currently does not sell any Portugal eSIM plan that includes a local phone number or SMS capability; all available Portugal eSIMs are data‑only. If travelers wish to make voice calls or send messages, they can use VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, they should verify that these applications are accessible in Portugal before purchasing, as some destinations may block or restrict specific apps or VoIP services.
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.
