How much data will I actually use in Cape Verde?

Most travelers buy too much data and overpay, or buy too little and have to top up. Tell us your trip and we will size the plan based on typical usage.

Idea in testingOur own eSIM · not yet available

What if it was just $5.00 a GB, everywhere?

We are considering a BetterSIM eSIM at one flat rate worldwide. No tiers, no bundles, no per-country price shopping, no volume discounts you never reach. The same $5.00 in Cape Verde as in Fiji or Kenya.

Your 4 GB would cost$20.00($5.00/GB, credit never expires)

Straight answer: this would not be the cheapest option. The plans listed on this page are often less per GB, especially in Europe and Asia. It would be the simplest. Savings against Google Fi depend on usage, Bill Protection and speed needs.

How this would work

City-by-city connectivity in Cape Verde

Carrier coverage is the same nationwide story; the airport, the subway, and the free WiFi situation change city by city. Here is what travelers asking specifically about these cities actually need to know.

Local Network Insights

Curated tips to help you stay connected in Cape Verde.

Grab an eSIM before you arrive in Cape Verde to skip local SIM queues. Most urban areas offer 4G or better, while rural regions can slow down, so keep offline maps handy. Activating the eSIM in advance ensures you are connected the moment you clear customs.

Connectivity Overview

What to expect for mobile connectivity in Cape Verde.

Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) is a volcanic archipelago off West Africa with decent connectivity on its main islands. CV Movel and Unitel T+ provide 4G coverage on Santiago (Praia), Sal, Boa Vista, and Sao Vicente (Mindelo). The tourist-focused islands of Sal and Boa Vista have reliable coverage in resort areas and main towns.

Smaller, less-visited islands like Santo Antao, Fogo, and Brava have more basic coverage concentrated in their main settlements. Santo Antao's spectacular hiking trails through deep ribeiras (valleys) can lose coverage in remote areas. Inter-island flights and ferries are the main transport, so having data for schedule checking is useful. Cape Verde is increasingly well-covered by Africa regional eSIM plans.
