Internet – Azores Travelling

One of the most important aspects of traveling to the Azores is staying connected. Mobile phones and mobile internet are essential for travelers looking to stay in touch with family and friends, access directions, and book activities and accommodation. Fortunately, the Azores is well-equipped for travelers who need to stay connected. Cellular networks are available in all of the nine islands of the Azores.

The major providers in the Azores include NOS, Vodafone, and MEO. All of the providers offer a variety of prepaid and postpaid plans, depending on the needs of the user. The providers also offer 3G and 4G/LTE coverage, so travelers can access the internet on their phones. In addition to cellular networks, the Azores also offers mobile internet through WiFi hotspots. These hotspots are available in public places such as shopping malls, restaurants, and hotels. They are also available in some private homes, allowing travelers to access the internet while they are staying with local families.

The Azores has also recently launched a new initiative to provide free WiFi in some of its cities and towns. This initiative is part of a larger effort to improve the digital infrastructure of the islands and make them more attractive to tourists.

In the initial phase of the pilot project, the SPOTAZORES WiFi network is available in São Miguel at Praia da Ribeira Quente and briefly at the beaches of Vinha d’Areia e Moinhos (Porto Formoso). To access SPOTAZORES WiFi, you must search for the available Wi-Fi networks on your device, tablet, smartphone or computer. Select the network „SPOTAZORES WIFI“ and after accepting the terms and conditions you are on.

There is also free WIFI in the shopping center Parque Atlantico in Ponta Delgada.

Overall, the Azores is a great destination for travelers who need to stay connected. The islands offer a range of cellular networks and WiFi hotspots, as well as free WiFi in some cities and towns. With all of these options, travelers can easily stay connected while exploring the Azores.
