Using your eSIM in Cape Verde
Mobile data in Cape Verde
PikoeSIM offers five fixed prepaid data plans for Cape Verde, so a beach holiday in Santa Maria and a walking trip on Santo Antão need different preparations. Save hotel directions, ferry details and inter-island bookings on your phone, plus an offline copy for the stretches where signal drops.

stop close.Santa Maria, Sal
Sal: keep the hotel entrance handy.
Santa Maria sits on Sal's southern coast, a short drive from Amílcar Cabral Airport near Espargos. Before you travel, send your accommodation the flight details and confirm the transfer meeting point. Save the full hotel name and a map pin, because a resort-area name on its own may not identify the entrance.
The national tourism guide lists Santa Maria, the Pedra de Lume salt pans and other sites around Sal. Pick a day out, then ask the activity operator for its meeting point and return arrangements and keep that message on your phone before leaving the hotel.
Compare data, validity, activation and networks before buying. Save essential maps and bookings offline.
Save before you goHotel entrance, transfer confirmation and any excursion meeting point.
Santo Antão: confirm your crossing and arrange the next pickup.
Santo Antão has no airport, so most travellers fly into São Vicente and cross by ferry or small plane. The ferry runs several times a day and takes about an hour, but check the operator's current notices before you set out. Keep the actual sailing confirmation offline instead of relying on an old screenshot.
Agree where your driver or host will meet you at Porto Novo and send your accommodation name ahead. If a walk is part of the trip, save the route and sort the return transport before leaving your base. Pair a village name with the specific trailhead or entrance.
Use mobile data to send updates while you have a connection, but don't count on it during the crossing or in steep valleys. A bigger data allowance extends how much you can browse; it never improves the signal.
Save before you goYour confirmed ferry crossing, the operator's contact details, the walking route you picked, and the return pickup you arranged.
