Prefer a fixed data allowance?
For a relaxed holiday with accommodation Wi-Fi, compare fixed 5GB or 10GB options for maps, messages and bookings. Available fixed plans are 1GB/7 days, 2GB/15 days, and 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB or 50GB/30 days.
Fixed data gives you one total allowance for the selected validity, not a daily refill. It ends when the allowance or validity runs out, whichever comes first, without reduced-speed continuation.
Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices before purchasing.
Travel eSIM or home-carrier roaming?
AloOui Cape Verde eSIM
Choose your allowance and validity before travelling, then use the eSIM for mobile data. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone. This plan does not include a local phone number, native calls or SMS.
Home-carrier roaming
Check whether Cape Verde is included in your carrier's package and compare its data limits, validity and calling charges with your selected AloOui plan.
Stay connected during your island visit
Connect through CVMovel and Unitel T+, with speeds up to 4G. For an island-hopping trip, check coverage at your accommodation and key stops before buying, especially if you need data at a remote beach or on a hiking route.
For a Sal or Boa Vista stay, keep your accommodation address and transfer instructions handy. For Santiago or São Vicente visits, save host contacts and booked meeting points too. Download the important details before leaving Wi-Fi so your plans stay easy to follow wherever the day takes you.
Make island transfers easier
Keep ferry and flight tickets, pickup details and accommodation messages together on your phone. Save schedules and maps offline before a sea crossing, a Santo Antão mountain walk or a Fogo excursion. Mobile reception can vary along these routes, and satellite or maritime networks are not included.
Share data and keep your existing number
Use hotspot sharing with your laptop or another device where supported by your phone and network. Shared usage counts toward the same allowance. Internet-based messaging and calls use your data connection.
If keeping your home SIM active for calls or texts, check its roaming charges, turn off its data roaming and avoid automatic mobile-data switching.
Set up before you travel
- Confirm that your exact phone model and regional version support eSIM and are carrier-unlocked.
- Choose your plan and install the emailed QR code over stable Wi-Fi using Add eSIM in your cellular or SIM settings.
- When ready in Cape Verde, enable AloOui, select it for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line.
Your plan starts when the eSIM activates by connecting to a supported network in Cape Verde. Installation alone does not start validity. If you are already in Cape Verde, enabling the line and connecting can start the plan.
Need help connecting?
Check that AloOui is selected for mobile data, data roaming is on and your plan still has data and validity remaining. If an APN is required, use data.esim with username and password blank. Try airplane mode and automatic network selection. Keep the eSIM installed while troubleshooting and contact the AloOui Help Center for assistance.
