佛得角 eSIM

Most flagship smartphones released since 2018-2019 support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and Samsung Galaxy S20 series and newer. Tablets, smartwatches and an increasing number of laptops also support eSIM. The fastest way to verify your specific device is to check Settings , if you see "Add eSIM" or "Add cellular plan" as an option, you're compatible.

eSIM compatibility is now standard across the high-end smartphone market and rapidly spreading into mid-range devices. Cellesim works with any unlocked, eSIM-capable device , no special configuration needed beyond scanning the QR code we send you.

How to verify eSIM support on your device

1. iPhone: Settings → Cellular → look for "Add eSIM" or "Add Cellular Plan". You can also dial *#06# , if you see an "EID" (32-digit number), your phone has eSIM hardware.
2. Android: Settings → Connections (or Network & Internet) → SIM Cards → look for "Download a SIM instead" or "Add eSIM".
3. EID check: most eSIM-capable Android phones show EID in Settings → About Phone → Status.

Tip: Even if your phone supports eSIM hardware, it must be unlocked (not carrier-locked) to use third-party eSIMs like Cellesim. Most phones bought outright are unlocked; phones from carrier instalment plans may require unlocking after the contract is paid off.

Almost every flagship smartphone released since 2019 supports eSIM, making it ideal for international travel. Compatible models include iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, plus a growing list of mid-range devices. If your phone has Settings → Cellular → "Add eSIM", you're ready to use a Cellesim plan abroad.

Travellers benefit most from eSIM because it eliminates the airport SIM-card queue, removes the need to swap your home SIM out, and lets you keep your usual phone number active for SMS verification. A Cellesim travel eSIM activates the moment you land , no shop visit required.

4. Android version: Android 9 or newer typically supports eSIM, though it depends on the manufacturer.
5. Region-specific variants: some Samsung models sold in Hong Kong or China are dual physical SIM with no eSIM , verify your specific model number.

Tip: if your current phone doesn't support eSIM but you travel often, an unlocked, mid-range eSIM-capable phone (e.g., Pixel 7a, iPhone SE 3, Samsung Galaxy A55) makes an excellent secondary travel device , pair it with a Cellesim plan and you have a full mobile internet kit for any destination.

不！这是第一大漫游陷阱。虽然佛得角是欧洲人的热门目的地，但它是一个非洲国家，并且不是欧盟 (EU) 成员。您的“像在家一样漫游”(RLAH) 计划不适用。大多数欧盟和英国运营商（如沃达丰、T-Mobile、KPN、O2）都会向您收取极高的国际“世界其他地区”漫游费（例如每天 6 英镑或每 MB 15 欧元）。 Cellesim eSIM 是获得固定、廉价数据价格的唯一途径。 

是的，100%。 Sal 和 Boa Vista 上大多数全包式度假村的 Wi-Fi 速度非常慢、拥堵，而且只能在大堂使用。个人 eSIM 为您提供私密、快速的 4G/LTE 连接，可在任何地方使用 - 在您的房间、泳池边，最重要的是，在酒店 Wi-Fi 无法覆盖的海滩（如圣玛丽亚）。 

是的，绝对。这是“跳岛游者”最重要的问题。我们的 eSIM 套餐一次购买即可涵盖所有主要岛屿。您可以在萨尔 (SID) 降落，乘坐渡轮/航班前往博阿维斯塔 (BVC) 或圣地亚哥 (RAI)，并保持无缝连接。 

 为了给您在岛上提供最佳的速度和覆盖范围，我们的 eSIM 连接到佛得角的优质提供商，通常是 CVMóvel 或 Unitel T+。这可确保您在使用 Google 地图或从主要城镇拨打 WhatsApp 电话时获得最快的 4G/LTE 速度。 

是的，为了方便。在萨尔机场 (SID) 购买实体“芯片”需要您找到（通常很拥挤的）CVMóvel/Unitel 自助服务终端，在长途飞行后排队等候，获取当地货币（埃斯库多），并完成强制性护照登记流程。我们的 eSIM 是 100% 数字化的，无需 ID 注册，并且可以在您起飞前安装，因此您在着陆时即可连接。 

 大多数现代手机都可以，但您必须在此处查看我们的具体列表：eSIM兼容设备，以便在购买前 100% 确定。 

Chã das Caldeiras 的基地通常有信号覆盖，但当您爬上福戈火山的陡坡时，信号会变得断断续续。 

是的。您将拥有出色的 4G 覆盖范围，从圣玛丽亚或风筝海滩直播您的风筝冲浪课程，无需缓冲。 

明德卢和波多诺伏港口的信号很强，但预计在岛屿之间的公海穿越期间信号会下降。 

绝对地。在圣地亚哥这样的岛屿上，路标可能很少，因此 Google 地图的可靠数据对于导航至关重要。
