Frequently asked questions about Cape Verde eSIM

Does the eSIM work on all inhabited islands?
Yes. Main islands (Sal, Santiago, São Vicente, Boa Vista, Maio, Fogo, Santo Antão, Brava, São Nicolau) have CVMóvel and/or Unitel T+ 4G coverage. Sal and Boa Vista (most touristy) have the best coverage. Brava (smallest) has coverage limited to towns.
Is there coverage for kitesurfing in Sal and Boa Vista?
Yes. Santa Maria (Sal — Ponta Preta, Kite Beach), Sal Rei and Praia de Chaves (Boa Vista) beaches have steady 4G. Remote kitesurf spots on the north coast can have weaker but usable signal.
Does my EU plan work in Cape Verde without extra charges?
NO without extra fees. Cape Verde is NOT in the EU roam-like-at-home zone despite strong ties with Portugal and the EU. Your EU plan will hit expensive international roaming. A local Cape Verde eSIM is materially cheaper.
