I'm planning to use an eSIM while traveling in Portugal, but I'm not sure if I need to enable Data Roaming on my phone. Can anyone clarify this for me?

Yes, you will need to turn on Data Roaming for your eSIM in Portugal. This allows you to use mobile data without any additional charges while you're there, as long as your plan includes roaming.

I just returned from Portugal and activated my eSIM. I had to enable Data Roaming for everything to work perfectly, and it made using my apps so easy!

I didn't realize you had to turn on Data Roaming until my first day in Lisbon. Once I did, the connection was solid everywhere!

I traveled around Portugal with my eSIM and kept Data Roaming on the whole time. It worked flawlessly, and I didn’t lose connection even in rural areas.

I turned on Data Roaming without any issues! It’s definitely needed if you want to use data on arrival.
