A week in Cape Verde: roaming pack vs eSIM
We have not verified a prepaid e&, du and Virgin Mobile roaming pack for Cape Verde, so there is no side-by-side here. On the eSIM, 5.6 GB for a week (0.8 GB a day) comes to AED 171.98 with 2 × 3 GB for 7 days. Ask your operator for its Cape Verde pack and put the two side by side.

Which network does the eSIM use in Cape Verde?
The catalogue lists UNITEL (4G) as the partner network for Cape Verde. The profile joins the network available to it, and you don’t choose the operator by hand; on a remote route, check mobile coverage before you go.
What if the eSIM doesn't work when you land in Cape Verde?
Check, in this order: data roaming is on for the eSIM line, the eSIM is chosen as the line for mobile data, and airplane mode is off. Then the APN: on this plan it is entered by hand on Android, wbdata. Give the phone a few minutes to register on UNITEL; that first registration is what starts the plan’s days. Still no connection? See what to check when the eSIM has no signal abroad.
General questions have their own pages: how card payment works, refund policy, how to install an eSIM and help and FAQ.
