Cape Verde's mobile market is led by CVMovel (part of the Cabo Verde Telecom group) and Unitel T+. CVMovel has the widest coverage across the archipelago, with 4G on the main tourist islands such as Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago and Sao Vicente. Coverage is good in towns and resort areas, while more remote and mountainous parts of islands like Santo Antao can be patchy. 5G is limited, but 4G is generally sufficient for travellers. Networks: CVMovel, Unitel T+.
For a beach holiday on Sal or Boa Vista with maps, messaging and social media, around 3-5 GB is usually enough for a week or two.
Because Cape Verde is spread across separate islands, double-check coverage on the specific island you are visiting, as the smaller and more rural islands have thinner networks.
