Portuguese mobile proxies on NOS, MEO and Digi for app checks and phone pages
Add -cc-pt to a mobile login and your requests leave through Portuguese carrier addresses, on a new exit each time or one held for up to 6 hours. Our 12-exit mobile sample of 27 October 2026 came from NOS (7), MEO (3) and Digi (2). Traffic costs $3.99 per GB at the start of the ladder and $2.19 from 1,000 GB.

Why mobile
Who is online on Portuguese phones
ANACOM counted 13.5 million mobile cards in use at the end of June 2026, and 45.8% of them were on 5G, as 4gnews reported the figures. Of those cards, 10.9 million carried both calls and internet traffic.
Phones and computers take almost equal shares of Portuguese page views: StatCounter counted 49.52% from phones in September 2026, and Android had 67.32% of mobile page views.
In late 2025 the platforms’ ad tools counted 7.59 million YouTube users in Portugal and 6.30 million on Facebook (DataReportal). These are advertising audiences, which DataReportal warns are not monthly active users.
Carriers
Accesses, data and ASNs of Portugal’s mobile operators
MEO, NOS and Vodafone held 94.3% of active mobile accesses in the first quarter of 2026. The Digi group, owner of Nowo since October 2024, is the fourth network, up 1.0 point on a year, the largest gain of the five. Lycamobile, a virtual operator, has an ASN of its own.
| Operator | ASN in a lookup | Mobile accesses, Q1 2026 | Mobile data, Q2 2026 | Share of Portuguese users | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEO (Altice), phones | AS42863 | 35.8% | 28.3% | 8.96% | 3.4% |
| NOS | AS2860 | 31% | 35.4% | 33.05% | 35.7% |
| Vodafone | AS12353 | 27.5% | 29.7% | 26.00% | 51.9% |
| Digi | AS20879 | 3.7% | 5.4% | 2.70% | 46.0% |
| Lycamobile | AS31404 | 2% | 1.2% | 0.09% | 1.9% |
Accesses (cards in use, without machine-to-machine) and data traffic: ANACOM, first and second quarters of 2026, as 4gnews reported them; Digi includes Nowo. User shares and IPv6 are APNIC’s, 25 and 26 October 2026; NOS, Vodafone and Digi carry home lines on the same ASNs, while MEO’s home lines are on AS3243, with 24.85% of users. In Portugal the ASN is how you tell the operators apart, as the code below does; carrier keys exist only for US, UK and German logins.
5G build-out
Who built Portugal’s 5G base stations
Share of the 16,142 5G stations ANACOM counted at the end of June 2026, 11.7% more than a year before. Digi, open to customers only since 4 November 2024, already runs more of them than MEO.
Station counts by operator are ANACOM’s, as 4gnews reported them on 4 September 2026; the shares are ours. At least one 5G station stood in 2,354 parishes, 76.2% of the total, home to 94.6% of residents. The European Commission put basic 5G coverage at 99.1% in 2025, and 74.94% in the 3.4–3.8 GHz band.
Carrier IPs
Which Portuguese exits a lookup can place as phones
MEO announces its phones from AS42863 and its home lines from AS3243, so on MEO the ASN tells a SIM from a router. NOS, Vodafone and Digi carry both kinds of customer on one ASN each, and there a lookup goes no further than the operator.
IPv6 follows the same split: APNIC found 3.37% of users on MEO’s mobile ASN IPv6-capable in October 2026, against 83.45% on its home network and 35.68% to 51.87% on NOS, Digi and Vodafone. Expect IPv4 from a MEO phone exit, an address the carrier shares among many subscribers.
Digi’s exits print DIGI ROMANIA S.A., the RIPE holder of AS20879, though the network is the one Digi has run in Portugal since November 2024. A filter that expects Portuguese company names must list it by number, as the Python example does.

Pricing
What it costs to buy Portuguese mobile proxies
You pay per GB, and the tier a purchase reaches sets the rate for every gigabyte in it. Mobile is $0.50 per GB dearer than residential at each tier, and traffic you have bought has no expiry date.
| Traffic you buy | Price per GB | For example |
|---|---|---|
| 1–9 GB | $3.99 | 5 GB for $19.95 |
| 10–49 GB | $3.49 | 10 GB for $34.90 |
| 50–99 GB | $3.19 | 50 GB for $159.50 |
| 100–249 GB | $2.89 | 100 GB for $289.00 |
| 250–499 GB | $2.59 | 250 GB for $647.50 |
| 500–999 GB | $2.39 | 500 GB for $1,195.00 |
| 1,000+ GB | $2.19 | 1,000 GB for $2,190.00 |
A gigabyte through a Portuguese exit costs what it costs through any other country. The free trial’s current terms are on the pricing page.
For developers
A Portuguese phone exit, MEO home lines excluded
The login carries -cc-pt, a session key and -time-1800. Once ipinfo.io names the exit’s country and ASN, the script keeps NOS, Vodafone, Digi, Lycamobile or MEO’s mobile ASN and starts a new session for anything else, MEO’s home ASN included. Point your client at gate.aeonproxy.com (HTTP 7000, SOCKS5 7001) with the mobile login and password shown on the dashboard’s Mobile page.

Portuguese mobile networks after 3G
- MEO switched 3G off in phases between 4 September 2023 and 31 January 2024. Its phones go online over 4G or 5G, and a handset without 4G falls back to MEO’s 2G network for calls.
- NOS and Vodafone set their 3G switch-offs to begin in mid-2024 and July 2024; 4gnews, reporting ANACOM’s figures in December 2024, described both as still under way.
- Portugal’s 5G SIM cards came to 43.16% of the population in 2025, below the EU average of 55.55% (European Commission).

Data protection for Portuguese mobile checks
The GDPR applies in Portugal together with Lei 58/2019 of 8 August 2019, which puts it into effect. The CNPD enforces both, and a child may agree to an online service from age 13. A profile, name or phone number on a Portuguese app or listing is personal data even on a public page, so limit mobile checks to prices, listings, ads, rankings and your own accounts.
No Portuguese source we read requires a licence or registration for proxies or VPNs, or bans them. Each site’s terms still govern what you send through a carrier exit, and so do the rules for the activity itself.

Portugal mobile proxy questions
It sends your requests out through an address on a Portuguese mobile network, and a site treats you as a phone user in Portugal. Use it for app traffic, mobile ad placements and accounts you run from a phone; for price or listing collection, residential exits are $0.50 per GB cheaper.
No figure is published for Portuguese mobile IPs; the dashboard lists Portugal’s current mobile offer when you create a login. Our 12-exit mobile sample of 27 October 2026 came from NOS (7), MEO (3) and Digi (2).
Not by name, since a Portuguese login takes the country only. The ASN gives the operator away: AS2860 for NOS, AS42863 for MEO phones, AS12353 for Vodafone, AS20879 for Digi and AS31404 for Lycamobile. The Python example keeps a session on those and drops the rest.
ANACOM counted 45.8% of the mobile cards in use on 5G at the end of June 2026 (as 4gnews reported it) and 6.2 million people on 5G mobile internet. For a single exit the login has no generation setting, and nothing in an IP lookup shows whether it is on 4G or 5G.
A session key after -sid- and a length after -time- fix the exit for anything from 60 to 21600 seconds, which is 6 hours; -time-900 keeps it for 15 minutes. With no session key, consecutive requests can use different exits.
Pick residential, with 248K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026, for bulk work on prices, listings and search results; each of its tiers costs $0.50 per GB less than mobile. Pick mobile when the phone is the point: an app, a mobile ad, or an account of yours that normally runs on a phone.
Ask the generator on the dashboard’s Mobile page: it shows the Portuguese regions and cities on offer for mobile, with city placement where available. Databases can place suburbs such as Vila Nova de Gaia apart from Porto, so look an exit up in the IP checker before relying on its city.
Yes, by the ASN. MEO’s mobile network is AS42863 and its home network AS3243; the Python tab keeps the first and skips the second. NOS, Vodafone and Digi put homes and phones on one ASN, so their customers cannot be split that way.
Using one breaks no Portuguese rule we found, and none of the laws we read licenses or bans proxies or VPNs. Personal data you gather is covered by the GDPR and Lei 58/2019, enforced by the CNPD. This is not legal advice.
They can, if you own or manage them and follow each platform’s rules. Keep each one on a sticky session of its own while you work. The Instagram page covers the setup for Meta’s apps.
They come without an operator you can identify or a record of where the address came from, and whoever runs one can read the traffic, logins included. Keep accounts and customer data off them.
