How to choose the right plan
- Light use — maps, messaging and browsing — needs about 1 GB per day.
- Heavy use — social video, streaming or hotspotting a laptop — plan for 2-3 GB per day or pick the largest plan.
- Match the validity to your trip length, with a day or two of buffer for delays.
How activation works
- Buy the plan and receive your eSIM by email within minutes.
- Install it from your phone settings while still at home — no store visit, no plastic SIM.
- Land in Cape Verde, enable the eSIM line, and you are online before leaving the airport.
All Cape Verde eSIM plans
Inter-island flights move when the wind allows, and the airline app is how you find out. A Cape Verde eSIM is online at Sal or Praia so the next hop and the aluguer pin are not a hunt for café Wi-Fi.
Install it before you fly. Town 4G on Sal and in Mindelo is fine. Screenshot boarding passes and download Santo Antão maps before the ferry — the valleys do not owe you a bar of signal.
