Airalo eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Airalo does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans marketed as “Unlimited” give customers 3 GB of high‑speed data per day; once the daily cap is reached the speed drops to 1000 kbps.

For travelers who need more data, Airalo offers fixed‑data options. For example, the Hot Telecom 20 GB plan provides 20 GB of high‑speed data for 15 or 30 days, and the Latamlink 20 GB plan offers 20 GB for 15 days. These large‑capacity plans are alternatives to the daily‑cap “Unlimited” packages and represent a subset of the plans Airalo sells for Costa Rica.

Airalo sells prepaid eSIM plans for Costa Rica that include a local phone number and full telephony support. The plans range from 1 GB to 20 GB of data and are valid for anywhere from 3 days to 30 days. Prices start at $8.50 USD for a 1 GB plan that lasts 3 days and go up to $44.00 USD for a 20 GB plan with 30 days validity. Each plan provides a phone number with the dialing code +506, the country code for Costa Rica. Calls can be made and received, and short‑message service works both inbound and outbound. Travelers needing specific voice or SMS functions should check the details on Airalo’s website before purchasing.

Airalo offers 28 single‑country data plans that cover Costa Rica and an additional 35 multi‑country plans that include Costa Rica. Prices for these plans range from about $7.00 to $159.00, with data caps between 1 GB and 20 GB and validity periods spanning 3 to 365 days. The available plans are divided into two types: 18 daily‑cap plans that provide a fixed amount of data each day and 45 fixed‑cap plans that offer a set total data volume over the validity period.
