Why homes in the Algarve still need a landline
Even today, a landline plays an important role in many properties — especially for security and reliability.
Keep your home alarm connected in the Algarve
If your property has a security system, a reliable landline ensures it stays connected at all times.
Whether you live here full-time or own a holiday home, having a stable connection for your alarm system gives you peace of mind.
A landline provides a consistent, dedicated link, helping your system work exactly when it’s needed most.
Who needs a Lazer landline in the Algarve
A landline is still essential for many homes and businesses — especially where reliability and security matter.
Villa & holiday homeowners with alarm systems
If your property has a security system, a working landline is often required. It ensures your alarm stays connected to monitoring services year-round.
Expats needing a Portuguese phone number
Many services — including banks, utilities, and official institutions — require a local phone number. A landline provides a stable, dedicated contact.
Older residents who prefer a home phone
Simple, reliable, and always available — no charging, no signal issues. Ideal for anyone who prefers a traditional phone.
Properties with poor mobile coverage
In rural or inland areas, mobile signal can be unreliable. A landline provides a consistent connection for calls.
Lazer customers calling each other
Calls between Lazer landlines are free and unlimited — ideal for neighbours, family, or local communities.
Small businesses & rental management offices
A fixed line adds professionalism and reliability. Ideal for estate agents, property managers, and local businesses.

Do I need a landline for my home alarm system in the Algarve?
Yes, in most cases. The majority of monitored home alarm and security systems in Portugal require a landline to communicate with the monitoring centre. Without one, your alarm can sound locally but cannot alert your security company or dispatch emergency services. A Lazer landline ensures this connection stays active year-round.
How many minutes are included with the Lazer landline?
The service includes 120 minutes per month of calls to other Portuguese operators (NOS, MEO, Vodafone landlines etc.). Calls between Lazer landlines are completely free and unlimited. Calls to mobile numbers are charged at standard Portuguese rates beyond the included minutes.
Can I add a landline to my existing Lazer internet plan?
Yes. The Lazer landline is designed as an add-on to any existing Lazer internet plan. It runs over your fibre connection using VoIP technology — no separate phone line infrastructure is required. Simply contact the Lazer team to add it to your account.
Will a Lazer landline give me a fixed Portuguese phone number?
Yes. You receive a fixed Portuguese landline number with the local area indicativo. This is important for expats in Portugal who need a fixed number for banks, public services (Finanças, AIMA), utilities, and local businesses that require a landline rather than a mobile number.
Is Lazer landline suitable for a holiday home or villa I don’t occupy year-round?
Yes — this is one of the most common use cases. A Lazer landline keeps your alarm system connected to its monitoring centre year-round, even when the property is unoccupied. It also provides a stable local contact number for your estate agent, management company, or emergency services.
What is the difference between a landline and using a mobile number in Portugal?
A landline gives you a fixed local Portuguese number (indicativo), which many banks, institutions, and services require. It is also essential for alarm systems, works independently of mobile network coverage, and provides free calls to other Lazer landline customers. Mobile numbers start with 9xx and are not always accepted by Portuguese institutions requiring a landline.
