I have a Samsung Smartphone and use Verizon as my provider in the US. I will move to Budens, PT in mid August, so I must ensure that I can use my Samsung Smartphone in PT. What are my best options. For example, what is the best service I can use and what must I do to reconfigure my phone to work in PT.

Unfortunately this all depends upon how you use your phone. I am still on a pre-paid Vodafone plan, which is the most cost effective option for me and my wife. But, this is the case for me and for some a post-paid option might be better. It also depends upon whether or no you have a landline and Internet at home. So, I guess you have to investigate on your own.

Choosing the operator with the best mobile tariff in Portugal

To help you in this process, the telecommunications regulator (ANACOM) provides a simulator to analyse all available mobile services. You can adjust by filters the information and functionality that most suits you.

You can initially filter by: "What type of tariff do you want to use?"
- prepaid / pré-pago
- with mandatory top-ups / com carregamentos obrigatórios
- with top-up options / com opções de carregamento
- without mandatory top-ups / sem carregamentos obrigatórios
- no mandatory top-ups with monthly fee / sem carregamentos obrigatórios com mensalidade
- post-paid / pós-pago
- all / todos
