Cape Verde Trips Carry a Data Basket 3.7 Times the UK's
Cape Verde travelers carry one of the biggest data baskets of any destination: second of 13, and 3.7 times the UK. It is a fixed-data destination rather than an unlimited one.

Founder quote
“Cape Verde buyers spend more per order than for almost any other destination we sell. They mostly bill from the Netherlands, the UK and Sweden, not the places you would guess.”

About this data
How we got these numbers
The figures come from AloOui's own orders, grouped by destination and plan type, across a full year-round period. Everything is shown as percentages or ranks. Billing country is a proxy for where a customer lives, not nationality. Comparisons between destinations use only destinations with enough orders for a stable comparison, and average basket ranks reflect each destination's plan mix and plan prices.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
- How does Cape Verde compare with other destinations?
- Cape Verde is second of 13 destinations by average basket, behind the Middle East. The UK ranks 12th. Cape Verde's average basket is 3.7 times the UK's.
- Do Cape Verde travelers choose unlimited plans?
- Mostly not. 14% of Cape Verde orders are unlimited, against 53% for the UAE. 86% are fixed-data plans.
- Why is the basket bigger?
- The ranking reflects both the plan mix and plan prices of each destination, so it shows where the spend is larger, not why. Fixed-data plans in a resort destination are typically bought for the whole trip.
- What unlimited eSIM plans does AloOui offer?
- AloOui offers fixed-data plans and several types of unlimited plan. Unlimited Lite, Essential and Plus give a daily high-speed allowance that resets each day and then continue at reduced speed, so they are not unrestricted full-speed data. Unlimited Premium, the newest type, gives a 30GB, 60GB or 90GB high-speed pool for the whole plan (5, 10 or 15 days) on selected destinations. True Unlimited, live first in the UK, is a 30-day plan with a UK number, 500 minutes and 500 SMS. Check the product page for the terms of the plan you choose.
- How was this calculated?
- The figures come from AloOui's own orders across a full year-round period. We show percentages and ranks, not raw order counts. Billing country is a proxy for where a customer lives, not nationality.
