Internet on smartphones - Lisboa

[AHKS]

Once again thanks for your kind and helpful reply :-)

And you're right... An iPhone suits the needs 'on the go', so a wireless connection at home must be the best solution - and I suppose cheaper than having 2 x dongle

Dongles work fine here, but it all depends on the mast, Lisboa should all be 3 or 4G out in the country you'd find it more necessary to have the right Dongle for the right mast as not all have 3G output, us for example can get 3G Kanguru (Optimus) & TMN but not Vodafone, Optimus service is better and more reliable than TMN.

3G/4G is readily available through USB dongles. There are monthly plans through TMN, Vodaphone, Optimus, etc where you can get up to 100MB speed with unlimited download. It's wicked fast if you want to use a USB dongle on your laptop when you're out and about. All of the major sites have these plans laid out with all of the details (albeit in Portuguese).

The prices for iPhone/Smartphone data plans are competitive and (IMHO) extremely well priced compared to what you'll find in the US.
