Is roaming free in Cape Verde with my European, UK, or Portuguese SIM card?

It's a common misconception, but Cape Verde, despite being a popular destination for European travelers, is an independent African nation and is not part of the European Union. This means your 'Roam Like at Home' benefits from EU or UK mobile plans will not apply here. Carriers like Vodafone UK or Orange Portugal will typically charge premium international roaming rates, which can quickly become very expensive. HotelESIM offers a transparent and cost-effective alternative, ensuring you stay connected across the beautiful islands of Cape Verde without the worry of unexpected and high roaming fees.
