Cape's international roaming is "home-routed," which means that sensitive information like SMS and calls are routed back to Cape's core network, protecting it from potential compromise via the foreign network that's being visited.
Cape currently offers international roaming on select devices and international destinations. As we progress through Beta, more device types and roaming partners will be added.
Please note: You must activate your Cape service in the United States before roaming. Cape cannot be activated internationally.

Please note:
The list of supported countries is subject to change, and service limitations may occur due to issues within a particular local market. Service may be restricted, slowed, suspended, or terminated for significant roaming, misuse, abnormal use, interference with our network, or actions that affect our ability to provide quality service to other users. International use is not intended for extended periods; Subscribers must reside in the U.S., and primary usage must occur on Cape’s U.S. network. Cape reserves the right to disconnect service for Subscribers whose international use extends beyond 30 consecutive days. Availability and quality of service while roaming internationally are not guaranteed.
