FAQ

Do I need to find a local operator's office upon landing in Sal or Praia to activate HandySIM?

No, this is one of the primary conveniences. With HandySIM, you avoid standing in lines and filling out paper forms at the airport. You can install your digital profile even before your trip, and it will activate automatically the moment you arrive in Cape Verde and your device detects the local network.

What is the mobile internet coverage like on the different islands of the archipelago?

Coverage is excellent on the most visited islands such as Sal, Boa Vista, and Santiago (Praia). In major tourist areas and cities, you will have a stable 4G / LTE signal. On more remote or mountainous islands like Santo Antão, the signal may be weaker in the valleys, but in populated areas, the connection is reliable.

Do I need to change the HandySIM settings when traveling from island to island?

No, your HandySIM profile is set up to work throughout the entire country. Whether you are traveling by domestic flight or ferry between Sal and Boa Vista, your phone will automatically connect to the nearest tower, keeping your internet connection active without the need for additional manual intervention.

Is the internet speed suitable for social media and video calls?

Yes, the networks in Cape Verde have been modernized and offer sufficient speed for uploading photos to Instagram, streaming music, or making video calls to your loved ones via WhatsApp. You can comfortably share the beauty of the African beaches in real-time.

How does HandySIM choose the best network on the different islands?

Your HandySIM profile is programmed to connect dynamically to the operator offering the strongest signal at your specific location. This means your device will switch between the leading local networks on its own to ensure you have the most stable internet connection possible while moving across the archipelago.

Can I rely on the digital plan for navigation and Google Maps?

Absolutely. Having reliable mobile internet is vital if you decide to rent a car or explore the secluded trails of the islands. With an active eSIM, maps load quickly in real-time, helping you easily find authentic restaurants and hidden beaches far from the major hotels.

What should I do if my data package runs out sooner than expected?

If you use up your data, you will receive a notification. There is no need to buy a new SIM card. You can quickly top up your current profile with additional GB through our website. The new package will be added immediately, ensuring you have continuous access to the network.
