AlpineSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

AlpineSIM does not provide a true unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Costa Rica. Every plan that carries “Unlimited” in its name actually limits the amount of data that can be used at full speed, after which the telco’s standard throttling applies. For travelers who need high‑speed data without limits, AlpineSIM offers fixed‑data packages instead.

Two examples of fixed data plans are the 20 GB eSIM valid for 30 days, priced at $42.97 USD, and the 10 GB eSIM also valid for 30 days, priced at $28.05 USD. These plans give a large amount of high‑speed data, but the data allowance is capped. If a user requires more data than these limits allow, they would need to purchase a larger fixed‑data plan rather than a truly unlimited one.

AlpineSIM does not provide eSIM plans for Costa Rica that include a local phone number or SMS capability. The only options available from this provider are data‑only eSIMs, which give you internet access without call or text functionality. Travelers can still reach contacts and send messages through VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which operate over the data connection.

AlpineSIM’s catalog for Costa Rica includes 30 single‑country plans and 34 multi‑country plans. Prices run from about $1.17 to $232.33, while the data limits span from 500 MB to 20 GB. Some offerings give a fixed data amount that is usable for the entire validity period, whereas others employ a daily data cap that refreshes each day, giving travelers flexibility in how they use their allowance.
