eSIM FAQs
Common questions about using eSIM in Cape Verde
Does eSIM work in Cape Verde? Visitor’s complete guide 2026
Yes — eSIM works in Cape Verde in 2026 on Cape Verde’s mobile networks (CV Movel/Alô and Unitel T+). An international eSIM like Esimy connects you to Cape Verde 4G the moment you land — no SIM swap, no Cape Verdean passport registration, no kiosk visit.
What “eSIM works in Cape Verde” actually means: any eSIM-capable phone (iPhone XS+, Pixel 3+, Galaxy S20+) installs an Esimy Cape Verde eSIM as a second line. Your phone connects to local Cape Verdean networks via international roaming infrastructure — same way it would if you were roaming with your home carrier — but at Esimy’s flat single-country pricing instead of expensive home-carrier roaming fees.
Coverage you can expect: reliable 4G on the inhabited islands — Sal (Santa Maria), Boa Vista, Praia (Santiago), Mindelo (São Vicente) and São Filipe (Fogo). Some remote inland areas and the smaller islands may drop to 3G — same as for any provider.
How to confirm before you buy: dial *#06# on your phone — if you see an “EID” alongside your IMEI, your phone supports eSIM. Order an Esimy Cape Verde plan from esimy.net (starting from €8.49 / 1 GB / 7 days), install before flying, switch on data when you land. Connection time: typically 30 seconds.
Best eSIM for Cape Verde — travel guide 2026
The best eSIM for Cape Verde travel in 2026 is Esimy — single-country Cape Verde plans starting from €8.49 / 1 GB / 7 days, with 4G coverage on Cape Verde’s mobile networks via CV Movel (Alô) and Unitel T+. No SIM swap, no roaming surcharge, no airport SIM hunt.
Esimy Cape Verde single-country plans: €8.49 / 1 GB / 7 days, €24.99 / 3 GB / 30 days, €49.99 / 5 GB / 30 days, €69.99 / 10 GB / 30 days, €129.99 / 20 GB / 30 days. Ideal for 1- to 4-week trips covering Praia, Sal (Santa Maria), Mindelo, Boa Vista and the Pico do Fogo volcano. Hotspot/tethering included on every plan.
Why Esimy beats picking up a local SIM at the airport: Cape Verdean local SIMs typically require passport registration, are mainly available at airport kiosks with surge pricing, and you have to find a carrier store to top up. With Esimy, the QR code arrives in your inbox before you fly — install on the plane, switch on data when you land at Amílcar Cabral International (SID) on Sal.
Why Esimy specifically for Cape Verde: Esimy connects to CV Movel (Alô) for 4G coverage across the islands, from Praia and Mindelo to the surf beaches of Sal and Boa Vista. 5% cashback in Loyalty Points (1,000 points = €1) on every purchase, no expiration. 24/7 multilingual support. Top up directly from the Esimy app mid-trip.
