Description

Cape Verde is the kind of island archipelago that quietly gets under your skin. Whether you are riding the cobblestone streets and soaking up live morna music in Mindelo on Sao Vicente, hiking the volcanic peak of Pico do Fogo with its lava flows still steaming, kitesurfing the turquoise waters off Sal, exploring the colourful colonial streets and lively market of Praia on Santiago, or watching the sun dip below the Atlantic from the clifftops of Santo Antao, a Cape Verde eSIM means your experience is not interrupted by a search for local connectivity.

How It Works

1. Choose Your Plan
Pick the data amount and validity that matches your trip. Heading for a weekend? A short plan works perfectly. Staying a month? We have longer options too.

2. Scan Your QR Code
After purchase your QR code arrives in your email within minutes. Open your phone settings, add a new eSIM, scan the code, and you are done. Takes about 60 seconds.

3. Arrive and Connect
Your eSIM activates the moment you first connect to a local network in Cape Verde. Nothing extra to do — it just works.

Available Plans

We offer data plans from 1GB up to 50GB and Unlimited/Unlimited Plus with validity from 7 Days to 10 Days. Select your preferred data amount and validity period using the options above to see your price and add to cart.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cape Verde eSIM

Q: When should I install my Cape Verde eSIM?
A: You can install it any time after purchase — you do not have to wait until you are in Cape Verde. It is better to install it before you travel while you still have a stable WiFi connection. The plan only starts when you first use data in Cape Verde.

Q: When does my validity period start?
A: Your validity starts from the moment you first use data in Cape Verde — not from the date of purchase. So if you buy today but fly next week, you are not losing any days.

Q: Do I need to remove my current SIM?
A: No. Your existing SIM stays in place. Just set the Cape Verde eSIM as your data line when you arrive. Your regular number still works for calls and texts through your main SIM.

Q: Is my phone compatible?
A: Most smartphones released after 2018 support eSIM — including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. Check using this free tool: Check your device compatibility here

Q: Can I top up or extend my plan?
A: Yes — if you run low on data or need more time, purchase another plan. You do not need a new eSIM, it gets added to your existing one.
