Question 1

How does an eSIM work in Cape Verde?

Accepted Answer

An eSIM is a digital SIM in your phone. Buy a Cape Verde plan on Plota, scan the QR we email you, and a data line installs next to your home SIM. Use Plota for data in Cape Verde while your regular number stays for calls, texts, WhatsApp, and iMessage.

Question 2

How do I install my Cape Verde eSIM on iPhone?

Accepted Answer

On Wi‑Fi before you travel: Settings → Cellular (or Mobile Data) → Add eSIM, then scan the QR from your Plota email or dashboard. Label the line (e.g. “Cape Verde”), keep it ready, and when you arrive in Cape Verde turn the line on and enable Data Roaming for it.

Question 3

How do I install my Cape Verde eSIM on Android?

Accepted Answer

On Wi‑Fi: Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM, then scan your Plota QR (or paste the activation code). In Cape Verde, set Plota as the mobile data SIM and turn Data Roaming on for that line.

Question 4

How do I turn on Data Roaming for my Cape Verde eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Settings → Cellular / Mobile Data → select your Plota Cape Verde eSIM → turn Data Roaming On. Set Mobile Data to that eSIM line. Leave your home SIM’s roaming off if you want to avoid home-carrier roaming charges while still receiving calls/texts on your usual number.

Question 5

What APN and networks does the Cape Verde eSIM use?

Accepted Answer

We email the APN and supported networks for your Cape Verde plan after purchase, and the same details appear on that eSIM in your Plota dashboard. Set mobile data to Plota, turn Data Roaming on for that line, and enter the APN only if your phone requests it or data does not start automatically.

Question 6

When should I install my Cape Verde eSIM?

Accepted Answer

Install on Wi‑Fi before departure. The plan typically starts when you first connect to a local network in Cape Verde, not when you scan the QR. On arrival: enable the Plota line, set it for mobile data, and turn Data Roaming on.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Is Plota cheaper than Holafly, Airalo, or Saily for Cape Verde?

Question 13

What if I have no internet after installing?

Accepted Answer

Check four things: (1) Mobile Data is set to the Plota eSIM, (2) Data Roaming is On for that line, (3) the APN matches your order email/dashboard if needed, (4) you are in coverage. Toggle airplane mode once. Still stuck? Email support@plota.app with your order email and phone model.
