    I've used toggle before and they were nothing short of crap. So no. Also whilst you say those are on the way they are not applicable as i said we'll need the simcard for gps..

    Seems that you know better.....

    You cannot get lost from the airport to the MEO shop....unless you are an idiot. You will be there within two to three minutes of leaving the airport.
    You need to go into the shop to register the SIM anyway. This way you will be up and running with the package of your choice activated and running. Then you can set up your GPS and be on your way.

    If you are afraid to drive for three minutes on a major road without the aid of GPS, you can order a LycaMobile SIM Their bundles are cheap enough. They use the Vodafone network. I haven't tried them nor Vodafone, so perhaps you can let us know how the coverage was for you.

    Hi nifty digits I did try and search on that site but am using my phone and it wasn't working very well in it. So I assume from the above there's a vodafone in faro airport? When am arriving and picking up my bags will I be able to get it and see it?

    Perhaps you should use a PC/laptop and look at the map.

    It's just outside the airport. Click on Satelite to see the terrain more clearly.

    You can recharge SIM Mundo this way, then to activate Go Europe

    If the SIM works in the UK it will work in Portugal.
