Pros and cons
Pros
- Unlimited data and hotspot sharing come as standard, and the plan activates as soon as you buy.
- Top-ups are available, so a longer stay can be topped up rather than replaced.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is reachable by phone as well as in writing.
- Sold by the carrier itself, since the seller type is carrier, not a reseller.
Cons
- Coverage is a single market of 1 country, so there is nothing to connect with outside CV.
- The starting price of €10 is above the $0.99 entry point at eSIMGo.is.
- The plan targets short trip trips, so a long stay would need a different tariff.
Who it suits
- Short-trip visitors to CV who want unlimited data without watching a data cap.
- Travellers who need a hotspot to share the connection with a laptop or a companion.
- People who prefer buying from the carrier directly, since this is a carrier plan.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone crossing borders: Zwitchy covers 200 countries against 1 here.
- Travellers shopping purely on entry price, since €10 is above the $0.99 at eSIMGo.is.
- Long-stay travellers, since the plan is built around short trip travel, and SimToIsrael at $25 serves a different single-destination trip.
The company behind it
Unitel runs this tourist eSIM from CV, and it is the operator's own product rather than a resale. The company has been trading since 2007, so the tourist plan sits on a long-running business. Help comes through email, phone and help centre, which covers the channels a traveller reaches for most when something needs sorting.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Unitel T+ tourist eSIM cost?+
The tourist eSIM starts at €10, set by the operator rather than a reseller. It is a local product for CV, so the price reflects a single market, not a multi-country bundle. It suits a trip where a single destination absorbs the whole stay.
Is the data really unlimited?+
Unlimited data is included on the tourist eSIM, and hotspot sharing comes with it, so a laptop can share the connection. The allowance is uncapped, so there is no meter to watch. The plan is built for short trip trips, so treat it as holiday connectivity rather than a permanent line.
Where does this eSIM actually work?+
Coverage is a single market: 1 country, which is CV itself. The tourist eSIM is a local product, so it is built for visitors who stay put. If your route crosses several borders, a multi-country plan will serve you better than a local one.
Which network does the tourist eSIM run on?+
The plan runs on Unitel T+, the operator's own network in Cabo Verde. Because it is sold by the carrier, carrier, the eSIM connects to the same infrastructure as home subscribers. Support and the network sit with the same company, so a fault is handled by the operator rather than a third party.
How do I get help if the eSIM fails?+
Help runs through email, phone and help centre, so a traveller can reach a person by phone or write to the team, with a help centre for questions that do not need an agent. The company has been in the market since 2007, so there is an established operation behind the tourist brand.
Who am I buying from?+
The seller type is carrier, so the eSIM comes from the network operator itself rather than a travel platform or reseller. The tourist plan is local and priced from €10. Buying from the operator means the tariffs you see are the ones the company actually runs.
What are the alternatives for a multi-country trip?+
For cross-border travel, Zwitchy covers 200 countries, and eSIMGo.is starts at $0.99. SimToIsrael is another single-destination option, priced from $25. This plan stays the simpler choice if the whole trip is inside CV.
