Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest eSIM for Cape Verde?
Cape Verde is covered by multi-country plans only, and the cheapest is $12.99 for 1 GB, valid for 30 days. Prices come live from 1 vetted provider and change often; the price on this page is the current one.
Is it worth getting an eSIM for Cape Verde?
For most tourists and business travellers, yes, if your phone supports eSIM. Cape Verde plans start at $12.99 for 1 GB, and you install the eSIM before you fly, so you have data when you land, without queuing for a tourist SIM at the airport. If your home plan already covers Cape Verde at no extra cost, you may not need one.
Which networks do Cape Verde eSIMs use?
Cape Verde eSIMs on MobiMatter run on 2 networks: CVMOVEL and UNITEL. Each plan names its network, so you can pick the one with better coverage where you are going.
Which eSIM is best for Cape Verde?
No plan covers Cape Verde alone right now, so the choice is a multi-country plan. The top one is 10 GB for 30 days at $69.99 from Ubigi, covering 184 countries. We rank plans on quality and value for money.
How much data do I need for a week in Cape Verde?
It depends on how you use your phone. Light use (maps, messaging, browsing) takes about 0.5–1 GB a day; scrolling a lot of social video can take 2–3 GB or more. Typical use per hour:
- Instagram Reels, TikTok: 0.3–1 GB
- YouTube, Netflix at standard quality: 0.5–1 GB
- Video calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime): 0.5–1 GB
- Voice calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime Audio): 50–70 MB
- Maps and navigation: 2–6 MB
- Messaging and browsing: 50–150 MB
The cheapest Cape Verde plan with at least 5 GB for a week or longer is 10 GB for 30 days at $69.99.
Do Cape Verde eSIMs support 5G and hotspot?
Cape Verde plans currently run on 4G/LTE. Hotspot (tethering) works on every plan, so you can share your data with other devices.
Does a Cape Verde eSIM come with a phone number?
Most travel eSIMs, including most Cape Verde plans, are data-only and have no local number. You keep your usual number on your main SIM for calls, texts and WhatsApp. Plans that include a number or minutes say so on the plan page.
Will my phone work with a Cape Verde eSIM?
Yes, if it supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. To check, dial *#06#: if an EID number appears, your phone supports eSIM. Most iPhones from the XS/XR on, Galaxy S20 and later and Pixel 3 and later do, except most models sold in mainland China and some sold in Hong Kong and Macao.
Can I keep my own SIM and WhatsApp while using a Cape Verde eSIM?
Yes. Your eSIM and your main SIM can be active at the same time. Use the eSIM for mobile data with data roaming on for that line, and turn data roaming off on your home SIM to avoid charges. WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number.

I used it for the first time with my wife during our trip to Japan and Korea, and I didn't experience any connection problems. The internet was fast enough in both Japan and Korea, and I was satisfied with the app. I recommend it.

I bought 6GB for my Paris and Benelux tour. It was more than enough. It worked perfectly everywhere. To activate it, you need to enable the mobile data option.

Used this app for mobile data while in Malaysia for a few days last week. I rate it 10/10 for ease of use, affordability and for effectiveness too. After 5 days of regular usage, I still have 8GB left out of 10GB
