Frequently Asked Questions - Cape Verde eSIM
Yes - eSIMs work fully in Cape Verde on local carrier networks. Activation is simple: buy a plan, get a QR code by email, scan it in Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM, and turn on mobile data. The whole thing takes 2–3 minutes.
Our eSIMs run on local 4G/5G networks in Cape Verde. Urban speeds average 30–100 Mbps - plenty for video calls, streaming, and social media. Rural coverage can be slower, but 3G is widely available as a fallback.
eSIM is supported by iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Huawei P40 Pro+, and most other modern smartphones. Run your phone through our compatibility checker before buying.
Most eSIM plans are data-only. For calls and messages, use WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram, or similar apps over Wi-Fi or mobile data. A handful of plans include a local phone number - that's clearly flagged on the plan details.
Top up your eSIM from your AviaeSIM account (My eSIMs > Top Up) - the data is added to the same eSIM, no new QR code needed - or buy a new plan on our website or app. Unlimited plans never run out.
Most modern phones hold 8–10 eSIM profiles, but only one can be active at a time. Delete old eSIMs and add new ones whenever you need to.
Local plans cover one country and are usually the cheapest option. Regional plans cover a group of countries (e.g., across Europe) and are ideal for multi-country trips. Global plans work in 173 countries - more expensive, but you pay once for worldwide coverage.
Yes - eSIMs are completely safe. They're embedded in your phone, so they can't be physically stolen or lost, and data is encrypted just like on a regular SIM card.

Why Travelers Choose an eSIM for Cape Verde
Flying into Sal (SID) for the beach-resort strip, Boa Vista (BVC) for dune landscapes and turtle nesting, Santiago (RAI) for Praia the capital, or São Vicente for the musical Mindelo? A Cape Verde eSIM connects to CVMóvel or Unitel T+ the moment your plane lands — no kiosk queue, no paperwork. Activate in two minutes for resort coordination, Sal Santa Maria ride scheduling, or Mindelo nightlife navigation. Choose 7-day for an island-resort week, 14-day for a multi-island hop, or unlimited data for longer digital-nomad stays.
