Can you check with the place where you bought the phone? I believe it will, but I'm not an expert on phone service there...best bet, check with them. If you bring it with you, and it doesn't work...will you have lost anything? (assuming you don't lose the phone, itself!)

No. You will be working on "roaming" service. That means even if you phone Portugal from Portugal you will be doing it trough Spain. All the phone calls you get in Portugal from Spain or any other country you are paying from Spain until the border and than Portuguese will charge you for the call inside Portugal. That's the way it works everywhere. Don't forget unless you choose one specific phone server when in Portugal the system will chose the stronger server at the moment you phone. So you might get home and have a bill with 3 different phone servers. Ask Movistar about prices or go to there site. Its all there.

Will my american tv work in portugal if i have american outlets installed in my house?

i believe the voltage frequency is different in Europe so no
2 :
How did they manage that? They must have used a converter of some kind as well, as in Europe we use 220 volts, unlike the 110 volts in the US. If I were you I'd just buy what I need in Europe and have done with it. You'd easily spend as much converting your electrical system anyway, and it would work out easier in the long run to be able to plug in appliances you buy locally.

If I buy a laptop from any place in Europe, will it work in Portugal
If I buy a laptop from any place in Europe, will it work in Portugal?
This is actually several related questions: 1) What places have similar electronic things (eg plugs, power level requirements..) to Portugal? 2) Would I -have- to buy in Portugal for it to work there? 3) How much would a cable to convert it from one plug to one that worked there cost? 4) Do countries in Europe use similar power systems (plugs, power level requirements, etc) or is each country different? If you can answer any or all of these I would appreciate it, thanks <3

In Europe voltage is 220V/50HZ.Most European countries have the same plugs(I think only in GB and France are a little different).
