About Cape Verde eSIM coverage
Coverage & Networks
4G/LTE via CV Telecom and Unitel Cape Verde — Good on Santiago and São Vicente. Inter-island ferries have no signal; some smaller islands, such as the interior valleys of Santo Antão, can be patchy.
How much data do I need?
500 MB–1 GB should cover a stay. Mindelo on São Vicente is easy to explore on foot; hiking Santo Antão's ribeiras (valleys) benefits from offline topographic maps.
Tip for Cape Verde
Santo Antão's mountain ribeira trails are world-class — download the topographic trail maps on AllTrails before taking the ferry from Mindelo.
