Sim Local eSIM Data Plans for Portugal

Sim Local does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Portugal. All of its available plans contain a specific data allowance—either a daily limit of 10 GB for the Europe Unlimited 7‑15‑30‑60‑90‑day options or fixed amounts of 200 GB, 100 GB, or 50 GB for the Orange Holiday Europe plans. Because the plans with “Unlimited” in the name are actually capped at a set amount of high‑speed data, choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost‑effective for users who consume a large amount of data. One example of a large‑cap option is the Portugal 40 GB + EU Roaming plan, which offers 40 GB for 15 days.

Sim Local does not offer an eSIM for Portugal that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The only eSIM plans they provide for Portugal are data‑only plans without inbound or outbound voice or SMS services.

Because the plans lack a local phone number, travelers rely on data connections to use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage for voice calls and messaging. These apps work over the data link provided by the Sim Local eSIM.

Sim Local offers seven single‑country plans that cover only Portugal and sixteen multi‑country plans that include Portugal in their coverage list. The data caps across the available plans range from 1 GB to 200 GB, while the price points run roughly from $4 to $147.50. Among the plans, some are fixed‑data‑cap options that provide a total amount of data for the validity period, whereas daily‑data‑cap plans allow you to use a set amount of data each day during the validity.
