Will my European, UK, or Portuguese SIM card provide free roaming when I'm in Cape Verde?

It's a crucial point for travelers to Cape Verde: despite its popularity with European tourists, this African archipelago is not part of the European Union. Consequently, your 'Roam Like at Home' benefits will not apply. Most EU and UK carriers, including Vodafone PT, Three UK, or Deutsche Telekom, will charge exorbitant 'Rest of World' roaming rates. These charges can quickly escalate, making basic data usage incredibly expensive. eSIMFlyer offers a predictable and cost-effective alternative, ensuring you stay connected without unexpected bills.
