Compare Cape Verde eSIM plans for an exact Santiago address, a separate Sal stop and a confirmed arrangement in São Vicente.
Cape Verde is an archipelago with international airports identified on Santiago, Sal, Boa Vista and São Vicente. For an itinerary using Santiago, Sal or São Vicente, attach the accommodation and pickup to the correct island name before departure. Keep every inter-island booking and the next confirmed contact offline. Separate island files make the journey easier to follow; they do not imply uninterrupted reception across water or at every island location.

We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.

Install the Cape Verde eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure, and save the QR code and manual details offline. Keep the profile off while travelling to Cape Verde. After reaching the first Cape Verde island on your itinerary, select Horizon for mobile data and switch on roaming for that line. The eSIM’s first successful connection to a supported network in Cape Verde marks day one of the chosen validity period. The plan provides data but no local phone number. A compatible dual-SIM phone can keep the home line available, although its provider may charge for use abroad.

Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.
In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.
Santiago · City guide
For a confirmed arrival on Santiago, save the accommodation entrance, pickup contact and island name together before departure. If another island comes first, keep the Santiago file separate until that leg begins.
Santiago eSIM — set up before you fly →Sal · City guide
If Sal is part of the itinerary, store its hotel or accommodation address, transfer contact and onward booking as one island file. Keep those details separate from Santiago or any other island on the same trip.
Sal eSIM — set up before you fly →São Vicente · City guide
Keep the São Vicente accommodation entrance and local contact beside any confirmed meeting instructions in one offline note. Add the confirmed onward or return arrangement so this island’s details remain distinct from Santiago and Sal.
São Vicente eSIM — set up before you fly →Why Horizon
Count every day in Cape Verde, then estimate messages and maps separately from photo uploads or laptop sharing. Confirm Cape Verde on the exact destination list before buying. Cape Verde is outside Horizon's current Africa regional selection, so use a separate country plan for this visit. Check another country independently if it appears anywhere in the route.

Install over reliable Wi-Fi before departure and follow the plan's activation instructions.
Review the current price, data, validity, coverage and fair-use terms before checkout.
When the selected plan supports reuse or top-ups, My eSIMs shows the eligible options for the installed profile.
We'll alert you as you approach your limit. If the plan supports a top-up, My eSIMs shows the eligible options.
Choose country, regional or global coverage and check every destination in the plan details.
Count every Santiago date and the data you expect to use between the accommodation and confirmed appointments. Start with your observed daily use of messages and maps, then add planned document, photo or video transfers.
Before the Sal leg, download its accommodation confirmation and transfer contact, and label both with the island name. Include the Sal dates and any planned photo or file work when comparing data amounts.
Create a São Vicente offline note with the booked lodging entrance, local contact, precise meeting instructions and confirmed return. That keeps the island-specific directions together when the Santiago and Sal reservations are on the same phone.
No. Horizon’s current Africa regional selection does not include Cape Verde. Choose a Cape Verde country plan and check any other country in the itinerary separately.
Yes. Every Horizon Cape Verde plan includes hotspot at no charge. Your phone and connected devices use data from the same plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle that connection.
Complete the installation on reliable Wi-Fi before leaving, but keep the line switched off on the way to Cape Verde. Turn it on after arrival; its first successful connection to a supported network in the country counts as day one of the chosen period.
