Why Lusophone Travelers Switch to eSIM
Before Boarding

EU roaming limits expire (for PT) or domestic data stops (for BR) the moment you land in Turkey, USA, or France

Local carriers charge up to €10/MB (or R$ 50/day) unless you activate expensive daily packs

Don't waste holiday time in line at foreign airports for a physical local SIM and ID verification

Pocket Wi-Fi is an extra device to charge and return. Cellesim is 100% digital on your phone

Savvy Portuguese and Brazilian travelers now choose Cellesim instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

For Lusophone Travelers Abroad

Will my local phone number stay active for WhatsApp/Banking?
Yes. Cellesim acts as a secondary data line. Your primary SIM (MEO, NOS, Vivo, Claro) stays active for calls and SMS. Your WhatsApp and banking apps remain tied to your original +351 or +55 number automatically.
Can I still receive Bank OTP SMS (MB Way / Pix)?
Yes! As long as you keep your physical local SIM enabled, you can receive SMS verification codes for Alpha, MB Way, Pix, or Itaú while using Cellesim for high-speed data.
Is it cheaper than MEO or Vivo roaming packs?
Absolutely. Outside your home zone, local operators charge high daily fees (€50–€150 per trip or R$400+). Cellesim provides local rates, often saving you up to 90% on total data costs.
Can I share my internet (Hotspot) with others?
Yes! Unlike some competitors like Holafly, Cellesim eSIMs support data tethering/hotspots, making it perfect for sharing data with family or using your laptop during your trip.
Which countries are available and how fast is activation?
200+ countries. Popular: Turkey (€2.96), USA (€4.50), Portugal (€2.50), Brazil (€3.80), UK (€3.50), France (€3.20), Italy (€2.80), Spain (€2.70). Instant activation — QR code delivered immediately, install in under 3 minutes.
When should I install my eSIM before traveling?
Install 1–2 days before departure on home Wi-Fi. When you land, switch data line to Cellesim — connected instantly. See our interactive setup guide.
