Data breakout: UK. Websites see a UK mobile IP, not a local one.
Where your data comes out
Plans for Cape Verde break out in UK. A site or app that checks where you are connecting from sees a UK mobile IP rather than one in Cape Verde - which matters most for banking apps, government services and anything geo-locked to Cape Verde.
An exit country is not anonymity. It changes what a website sees, not who you are, and we would rather say that plainly than sell it as privacy.
Which networks you actually connect to
- CVMOVEL4G
In Cape Verde these plans roam on CVMOVEL. Your phone picks whichever is strongest where you are standing - you cannot choose one, and there is no local SIM to register in your name.

Nine inhabited islands, and one short holiday
Start with the map, because it decides everything else. This is an archipelago of ten islands, nine of them inhabited, and most visitors land on one of them and stay there for the week. Coverage is therefore an island question rather than a national one. The resort strips and the main towns are served properly. The mountain interiors, the empty stretches of the flat islands and the crossings between them are where it thins out, and a signal that was solid at the hotel can be gone twenty minutes up a valley.
On the local card: there has been a regulation on the registration and identification of SIM cards on the books here since 2012, so a local card is meant to be issued to a named holder. Traveller accounts disagree about how consistently a passport is asked for at the till, which tells you enforcement varies rather than that the rule is absent. Carry the passport and assume it will be wanted.
The real awkwardness is not legal, it is logistical. There are operator stands at the international airports and shops in the main towns, but on the smaller islands there are fewer of them and top-ups run on local shop hours. On a one-week holiday that is an evening spent, and what it buys is a week of a card you will never use again. That is a poor trade for a short stay and a good one for a long stay, which is the whole calculation here.
Data on these plans breaks out in the United Kingdom. On most country pages we would list what that breaks; here there is less to break, because few local services fence themselves to a domestic connection. So we will say it as it is: mostly this will not touch your trip, and where it does, it is a location check and not privacy.
If you are island hopping for several weeks, working from here, or dealing with ferry offices, guesthouses and drivers who want to ring you back, a local number earns its errand and the price of the card stops mattering. For a package week on one island, arriving already connected is the simpler side of the trade, and the airport queue is one you can skip.
