Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Airalo does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that carry the “Unlimited” label offer 3 GB of high‑speed data per day, after which the connection is throttled to 1000 kbps. This means that once the daily limit is reached the speed drops significantly, so the data allowance is effectively capped.

If a traveler prefers a plan without such a speed reduction, Airalo offers fixed‑data options. For example, Hot Telecom sells 20 GB for 30 days at $45.00 USD, and Latamlink offers 20 GB for 30 days at $59.00 USD. These fixed‑data plans may be more cost‑effective for most users unless an extreme data consumption is required.

Airalo offers eSIM plans for Costa Rica that include a local phone number with dialing code +506, allowing both inbound and outbound voice calls and SMS. The plans range from 1 GB to 20 GB of data, with validity periods of 7 days for the 1 GB plan and 30 days for the 2 GB through 20 GB plans. Prices start at $12.00 USD for the 1 GB 7‑day plan and rise to $46.50 USD for the 20 GB 30‑day plan. All plans provide full call and text capabilities, and the number operates as a local Costa Rican number. Travelers are encouraged to check Airalo’s website for the most up‑to‑date availability and to verify any specific requirements they may have.

Airalo offers a total of 47 data‑only eSIM plans that include Costa Rica as part of their catalog. There are 12 single‑country plans tailored specifically for Costa Rica, and 35 multi‑country plans that bundle Costa Rica with other destinations. The single‑country plans have prices ranging from $8.50 to $89.00 and data caps between 1 GB and 20 GB, while the multi‑country bundles cover the same price and data ranges. Within these options, Airalo provides both daily‑data‑cap models—four plans with a data allowance that resets each day—and fixed‑data‑cap models—43 plans where the data amount is spread across the entire validity period, which can be as short as three days or as long as one year. This collection gives travelers a wide selection of coverage levels and pricing options for staying connected while in Costa Rica.
