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.
