Has anyone managed to get a +351 number for voice and SMS ahead of arriving in PT? If so, who would you recommend as a provider. Data is easy. There are any number of data providers - I have purchased a plan from Nomad.
Hey Anton!
If you donât have a NIF you can use LycaMobile. Just donât activate it prior to arriving in Portugal. Their website has an English version; you just need to head to lycamobile.pt
A bit of a heads-up: make sure you register (create an account and associate it with the SIM you bought) on their website after you activate your SIM/chip; otherwise, monthly payments will keep coming through and through until you cancel it.
You can also try it with Vodafone, their eSIM EasyGo. You receive an eSIM via email. Their offer is not as advantageous as with Lyca; however, it will be way easier to handle, and youâll know your phone number before activating it.
Go to vodafone.pt, and head to MĂłvel > TarifĂĄrio MĂłvel > eSim.
After adding the eSim plan, you need to go to the âCarrinhoâ, the shopping cart area (and symbol), to finish your purchase. It will request email, phone number and payment data.
Hope this helps!
