  • Changes to Mobile Broadband and IoT card numbers

    From September 1, 2025, the new Mobile Broadband and Internet of Things cards will have a new numbering:
    • Instead of 9 digits, they will have 12 digits.
    • The new prefix will be 49.

    Notes:
    • If you already have 9-digit cards that start with 92 or 96, there's no need to worry—nothing will change. Your cards will continue to work as usual.
    • This change only applies to new cards applied for on or after September 1, 2025.

    This change follows the guidelines of ANACOM, which created the new "49" numbering range.
  • How does the warranty on my Internet equipment work?

    Equipment and related accessories purchased on or after January 1, 2022, are covered by a 3-year warranty*. Please keep your receipt and warranty document as proof of purchase.

    The warranty conditions and period are defined by the manufacturer, starting from the date of sale of the equipment and can only be confirmed by presenting the warranty document.

    After the end of the warranty period or in situations considered to be outside the conditions given by the manufacturer (in which the warranty is withdrawn due to the verification of a cause for excluding it), the repair of the equipment may have a cost. Before we carry out the repair, we will give you an estimate of how much it will cost, so that you can decide whether or not to go ahead with the repair.
