Which network does the Cape Verde eSIM use?

It connects to CVMOVEL’s 4G network in Cape Verde.

Does the Cape Verde eSIM include calls and texts?

No. These plans provide mobile data only, without included calls or SMS texts.

How much data can I get for Cape Verde?

Available options include 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB and 20GB, plus unlimited data.

How long do Cape Verde eSIM plans last?

Plan durations are 1, 3, 7, 15 or 30 days.

Can I top up the Cape Verde eSIM?

Yes. Top-up is supported if you need additional data during your trip.

Cape Verde: is an eSIM better than a local SIM?

For most travellers, yes. A local SIM in Cape Verde means finding a shop once you have landed, usually with ID in hand, and it leaves you on a single carrier. An eSimHero eSIM installs before you travel, works the moment you arrive, connects across the networks we carry there, and leaves your usual number active on the same phone.

About eSIMs in Cape Verde

A Cape Verde eSIM gives you mobile data for your trip without including calls or texts. Plans are available for stays from 1 to 30 days, with fixed data options as well as unlimited data.

Coverage & networks

The eSIM connects to CVMOVEL’s 4G network in Cape Verde. Coverage is limited to Cape Verde, so it is intended for use within the country rather than across multiple destinations.

How much data you need

Choose between 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB or 20GB, or select an unlimited plan. Short visits are covered by 1-, 3- or 7-day options, while 15- and 30-day plans suit longer stays. Top-up is supported if you need more data during your trip.

Setting it up

Select a Cape Verde plan that matches your travel dates and data needs, then follow the installation and activation instructions provided with your eSIM. The plans are data-only, so use internet-based services for messaging and calls.
