Cape Verde: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
ESIMBYCOUNTRY at checkout · See all codes →Cape Verde has two primary mobile network operators: CVMovel (also known as CVTelecom) and Unitel T+. Both carriers operate 3G and 4G/LTE networks commercially in the country. The main LTE bands used are Band 3 (1800 MHz) and Band 8 (900 MHz), which are the frequencies a roaming eSIM would typically connect to when operating on these networks.
Regarding eSIM availability, some local carriers in Cape Verde do issue eSIMs, though information on this service remains limited. Travelers and residents should contact their preferred carrier directly to confirm current eSIM offerings and compatibility, as the availability and implementation of this technology may vary between operators and continue to evolve.
