Portugal-specific troubleshooting

Things that can go wrong in Portugal.

  • Madeira and the Azores are on the same plan — no swap required for island hops.
  • Some Serra da Estrela mountain villages have MEO-only signal. NOS can drop.
  • Fátima pilgrimage days (especially 13 May and 13 October) push all networks into congestion.
