Coverage in Cabo Verde

CV Telecom 5G limited to Praia and Mindelo as of early 2025. Rural mountainous islands (e.g., Brava, Santo Antão interior) have patchy to no 4G service. B20 (800 MHz) is used by CV Telecom but absent from many North American phone variants.

Common Questions

The details worth knowing about your Cabo Verde eSIM

No. Rural mountainous islands like Santo Antão interior have patchy to no 4G service. Your eSIM may connect to Unitel T+ or CV Telecom, but neither guarantees coverage in those remote areas. Consider downloading offline maps before you go.

You may struggle in some areas. CV Telecom uses B20 (800 MHz) for wider rural coverage, and many North American phone variants lack that band. In cities like Praia and Mindelo you will be fine, but on remote islands your signal may drop where only B20 is available.

No. This eSIM is for Cabo Verde only. It does not include Senegal or any other country. If you plan to visit Senegal before or after, you will need a separate eSIM or plan for that destination.

No. CV Telecom’s 5G network is limited to Praia and Mindelo as of early 2025. Brava, a rural mountainous island, has no 5G and only patchy 4G. Your eSIM will fall back to 4G or slower where a signal is available.

The eSIM automatically connects to whichever network partner is available. In Praia you will typically land on CV Telecom, which offers the best coverage and faster speeds. Your median download speed there is about 28 Mbps, based on July 2025 data.
