Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Airalo does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for Costa Rica. The plans that contain “Unlimited” in their name provide only 3 GB of data per day; once that amount is used the speed is throttled to 1000 kbps, so the data is not truly unlimited. Travelers who need more data can choose from a range of fixed‑data options that are available for Costa Rica. For example, Hot Telecom offers a 20 GB plan that is valid for 30 days, and Latamlink also sells a 20 GB plan for 30 days. Another long‑term option is Discover’s 20 GB plan for 365 days. Fixed‑data plans may be more cost‑effective for users who are not extremely heavy data consumers.

Airalo offers several eSIM plans for Costa Rica that include a local phone number with dialing code +506 and allow both inbound and outbound calls and SMS. Prices start at $12.00 USD for a 1 GB plan valid for 7 days and go up to $46.50 USD for a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days, with intermediate options of 2 GB (15 days, $17.50 USD), 3 GB (30 days, $22.50 USD), 5 GB (30 days, $32.50 USD), and 10 GB (30 days, $38.50 USD). All plans provide 4G coverage and enable users to make and receive calls as well as send and receive text messages. Users should confirm any specific requirements directly with Airalo.

Airalo provides 12 single‑country data plans specifically for Costa Rica, plus 27 multi‑country plans that include Costa Rica among other destinations. The available plans range in price from about $8.50 to $89 and in data size from 1 GB up to 20 GB, with validity periods spanning 3 to 365 days. Some of the plans are fixed‑data packages, while a smaller portion (four plans) offer daily data caps that reset each day.
