Frequently asked questions
How much does a day of mobile data cost in Madeira?
On plans with a fixed data allowance, AED 0.63 to AED 2.14 a day in Madeira: 3 GB for 30 days at AED 18.99 is the lowest daily price, 1 GB for 7 days the highest. Cheapest plan that lasts the whole trip: for 7 days, 1 GB at AED 2.14 a day; for 15 days, 2 GB at AED 1.13 a day; for 30 days, 3 GB at AED 0.63 a day. Unused days are not refunded.
Which network does the eSIM use in Madeira?
Two partner networks: Vodafone (4G) and Optimus (5G). The profile joins whichever is available, and the generation differs by network (4G / 5G); you don’t choose the operator by hand.
What if the eSIM doesn't work when you land in Madeira?
Check, in this order: data roaming is on for the eSIM line, the eSIM is chosen as the line for mobile data, and airplane mode is off. The APN sets itself on this plan, so leave it as it is. Give the phone a few minutes to register on Vodafone and Optimus; that first registration is what starts the plan’s days. Still no connection? See what to check when the eSIM has no signal abroad.
General questions have their own pages: how card payment works, refund policy, how to install an eSIM and help and FAQ.
