Where does this eSIM work in Cape Verde?

This eSIM operates on local carriers networks, providing excellent coverage across major cities and regions in Cape Verde.

You'll be able to use all your favorite apps — maps, social media, video calls — without worrying about finding free Wi-Fi.

What speeds can I expect?

Cape Verde has excellent telecommunications infrastructure, and travelers can typically experience LTE and 5G high-speed networks.

Standard plans provide full-speed data. Unlimited plans offer a daily high-speed allowance, after which speeds may be reduced but you'll never lose connection.

Should I set up my Cape Verde eSIM before or after arrival?

We recommend installing your eSIM before departure — it only takes about 90 seconds.

Before you leave, you'll need to adjust some phone settings so your device can automatically connect to local networks when you arrive in Cape Verde. Once you reach your destination, your data plan activates automatically!

How much travel data do I need in Cape Verde?

It depends on your usage. If you need maps for navigation, social media, or video calls, you'll need data.

Fortunately, we offer flexible plans. Start with a smaller data package and purchase more if needed. Generally, 1-2GB per day is sufficient for most travelers' daily needs.

Will I pay roaming charges with a Cape Verde eSIM?

Absolutely not! With an eSIM data card, you connect to local networks in Cape Verde, bypassing your home carrier entirely — so there are zero roaming charges.

To prevent your home carrier from charging roaming fees, make sure to disable data roaming on your primary SIM card before departure.
