Portugal eSIM: daily caps, throttling and hotspot, brand by brand
Of 24 travel eSIM brands with a rule that applies to Portugal, 12 publish a daily full-speed allowance, 10 publish the speed you drop to afterwards and 5 state a hotspot rule (1 block hotspot outright). 3 rows rest on dated customer reports rather than the brand's own page and are marked unverified. Every number links to its source with the date it was observed; last review 2026-10-19.
Portugal is a long-stay and remote-work destination, which makes hotspot rules and the speed after the daily bucket the deciding numbers. Travel eSIMs roam onto MEO, Vodafone PT or NOS under Europe-wide fair-use policies; the table shows each brand's published rule and our plans' equivalents.
