Which data plan fits your trip?
- Fixed data: a set allowance for your trip. Check both the GB and the validity period.
- Unlimited: check the daily full-speed allowance and any reduced-speed limits on the plan.
- Maps and messaging usually use less data than video. Downloads, video calls and hotspot sharing can use much more.

Atlantic islands where the wind sets the timetable
Cabo Verde is a handful of inhabited islands in the middle of the Atlantic, off West Africa, and the hop from one to the next is short: a small boat, or a flight no longer than a bus ride. The same national operators cover every inhabited island, but the strength of that coverage varies from one to the next: it holds in the main towns and around the ports, while it breaks into patches in the valleys between the hills and on the inland roads.
Wind and sea move the boat timetables within the same day, so keep tickets, confirmations and the address of the place you are staying downloaded on the phone. A crossing leaves you a stretch of time with no land coverage, so whatever you need the moment you step off has to be on the phone already, not on a page waiting to load.
Outside the EU, even though the flight leaves Europe
The flights come from Europe, but Cabo Verde is not in the EU and the European roaming rules do not reach it. Do not travel assuming your European allowance stretches that far: in most tariffs it does not, so get the international rate from your operator before you book.
The eSIM separates your data from that bill: traffic runs through it and your home line stays switched off for data. The international flight usually lands straight on the island you are staying on; if your destination is another island, the journey carries on with an internal hop and the gap in between is short, so the connection belongs before that transfer rather than after it.

Frequently asked questions
Does my phone need to support eSIM?
Yes. Your device must support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked. Check the exact model and sales region before purchase.
When should I install my eSIM for Cape Verde?
Read the plan instructions before departure. You can install it over Wi‑Fi, while the validity start depends on the plan conditions confirmed before payment.
Can I keep my number and WhatsApp?
On most phones you can keep your primary line enabled and use the eSIM for data. Exact settings depend on your device and primary carrier.
Is the signal the same everywhere in Cape Verde?
No. Coverage and speed depend on the local network, location, device and network load. Review the listed networks when they are available on the plan.
Do I need a separate eSIM for each island?
No, the package covers the country rather than a single island. The national network is the same from island to island; what changes is how well coverage holds outside the main towns.
What if my ferry or domestic flight is cancelled?
That is exactly the moment you need a connection, standing in a port with no wi-fi, so keep the eSIM active instead of switching it off to save. Save your booking confirmations as screenshots too, so you have them offline.
