@kosi Did you try manually searching through available networks to see if a different provider gave you 5G?

For example: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/My-O2/Phone-doesn-t-work-when-I-m-in-France/m-p/1702402/highlight/true...

I have had no problem getting 5G when in Germany - not sure about Spain, and I have not been to Portugal...

That said, O2's own website may be out of synch with its international coverage checker tool:

Hopefully, even if getting only 4G, your data is useable in Portugal, @kosi 🤞

Applies quite often in the USA, that one @kosi @ - worth a try elsewhere, I guess 🤷
