Many travelers are caught off guard by roaming charges in Cape Verde. Despite its popularity with European tourists, this stunning archipelago is an African nation and is not part of the European Union. This means your 'Roam Like at Home' benefits from carriers like Vodafone UK or Orange Portugal will not apply. Expect exorbitant 'Rest of World' roaming fees if you rely on your home SIM. WorldESIM offers a transparent and affordable alternative, ensuring you stay connected without bill shock while exploring islands like Sal and Boa Vista.
