Cape Verde travel data eSIM
What is a Cape Verde eSIM?
An eSIM for Cape Verde gives you instant data access the moment you land on any of the islands. Load the profile at home, then travel light—no physical SIM needed, and your local number stays untouched. Whether you’re exploring volcanic landscapes, hopping between islands, or enjoying beachside cafés, the eSIM keeps you connected for maps, translation, and booking apps throughout your stay.
In Cape Verde the eSIM connects to the CVMOVEL 4G network. Your data allowance is deducted from the moment you first use it on the islands, and the plan’s validity runs for the selected number of days regardless of travel within the archipelago.

Which networks you connect to in Cape Verde
When you activate the eSIM in Cape Verde it links to CVMOVEL’s 4G infrastructure. The actual reach of service depends on CVMOVEL’s network deployment on each island, so you’ll have access wherever the operator’s towers are present. This setup lets you browse, stream, and use navigation tools while moving between popular spots.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Cape Verde eSIM use and what does that mean for me?
The eSIM uses CVMOVEL’s 4G network. As a traveller you will be on the same network that local residents use, giving you access to the same mobile services and apps available to them.
Can I use the Cape Verde eSIM in a neighboring country?
No, this plan is limited to Cape Verde only. If you need connectivity in nearby nations such as Senegal, you would need a separate regional or multi‑country eSIM plan.
Which plan size is suitable for a trip that includes Praia and Sal?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB 30‑day plan often covers moderate usage for two islands, while the 10 GB option provides extra flexibility for heavier streaming or frequent navigation.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
