Can I buy Cell in Portugal without a Visa

Can I buy Cell in Portugal without a Visa?
Do you need to have an ID to buy a prepaid phone in Portugal? If so, do you have to have a visa, or will a passport work?

Yes you can. They don't care if you have a visa or not. They just want to cell phones and calls. You buy a packet with all included. Phone and SIM card with fresh number. Its a gift to someone living here so they ask nothing. To charge it you go to any "pay shop". You step on one all the time and you can use money. Otherwise only in ATM's with a bank account here. I use Vodafone mobile server.

Answers is that the process is realatively painless, and if you are pressed for ID, a Passport will certainly be sufficient. Unless you are desperate to save those final few cents, incidentally <and that wouldn`t amount to much anyway>, I`d recommend that you look out for a turquoise-blue fronted phone shop under the house/brand name TNM (pronounced Tea-eN-Yem); part of PT, Portuguese Telecom. These outlets -they`re everywhere on the streets, but if you ARE unable or blind, go into practically ANYshopping centre and there`ll be one- are usually manned by students or quite smart youths, who regularly speak English; and who will not only sell and initialise your `phone, if you tell them you anticipated call regimen, they`ll also know the best tariff. They`re also where you top-up. Just one note of caution, if you buy -particularly an `unlocked` handset- and plan to use OUTSIDE of Portugal, make sure you mention this; tariffs and permissions aside, some sets are not equipped to operate `abroad`. Mobile are much more popular in Portugal than land lines, incidentally; and from memory in-country calls or SMSs can be as little as 2 or 3 cents a minute (more if both phones don`t belong to the same service provider: Vodaphone and Orange are alternative suppliers), with International calls from about 25 cents p.m. To reiterate CHOICE OF TARIFF (from many available) IS IMPORTANT.

If your English is really good, i'd suggest you go to London. There is a lot of money in tourism there and you could try to find your place.
2 :
If you are looking to use your knowledge of Spanish, try some of the resort areas in Spain such as Mallorca or Malaga, or anywhere on the Iberian coast. Amsterdam is probably the most "hip" city in Europe that I have been to, and English is very widely spoken there.

I am wondering the reason why Portugal has such a huge problem with jobs. My family is from there and they talk about how so many people are getting laid off and it is very hard to find a new job. Many people or out of work and its causing allot of problems. Could anyone tell me what those problems are and what is causing this problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Portugal is a small economy with a considerable basis in agriculture. This makes things a bit more unstable. There are also a lot of pressures across the continent for consolidation and mergers. Growth tends to move in cycles. Portugal could greatly stimulate their economy by lowering taxes, reducing social costs, and being more inviting to business. Your country has so much going for it, a stimulating business environment could make them the next Silicon Valley or Scotland...

we think they ( new generations)are paying heavy interests on what they( the old generations) did with their colonies centuries ago

Garmin will hold both maps. Just make sure you have a good size SD card in the unit. I have a Nuvi 200w and can store 3 additional maps with a 2GB card.
