Does the Light Phone III work on NOS?

Last checked 23 Oct 20264 sourcesLight's checker (23 Oct 2026)

Yes.

Works

Light's own compatibility checker says the Light Phone III will work with NOS in Portugal (it lists MEO, Vodafone, NOS and Nowo; checked 23 Oct 2026). Light's spec sheet lists 4G and 5G only, so calls go over 4G Calling.

Calls, texts and data should all work with a NOS SIM.
