Thanks for the quick response! I have Verizon and they claim that their phones are sold already unlocked. The mobile hotspot from my phone is going to make life much easier for everyone. Thanks again!

As long as your phone is unlocked (either from when you bought it, or later by your carrier), you should be able to use a Portuguese SIM card, and make your phone a mobile hotspot as needed. Just bear in mind it will use battery much faster than usual, especially if multiple other devices are connecting to it.

I had a question about doing a hotspot on an android device. I’ve got a Samsung S6 and plan on buying a prepaid SIM card when I arrive. Will I be able to do a mobile hotspot on my phone with that SIM card (probably vodafone)? I’m hoping that I can do that so that others in my party can just connect to that rather than buying there own cards. They need to keep their stateside phone number while traveling.
