eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Costa Rica. Plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name actually give 1 GB of high‑speed data per day (or 2 GB per day for the “Unlimited Plus” variant) and then throttle the connection to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps once the daily allowance is reached. After the cap, the speed is reduced, so the data is not unlimited.

Travelers who need a larger, unthrottled data allowance can instead choose one of eSIMCard’s fixed‑data plans. Examples include a 20 GB plan valid for 31 days at $22.70 USD, a 50 GB plan for 31 days at $42.42 USD, and a 100 GB plan for 31 days at $56.47 USD. These plans provide a set amount of high‑speed data without throttling, making them more cost‑effective for heavy data users.

eSIMCard does not provide a Costa Rica eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capabilities. The provider only offers data‑only plans for Costa Rica, so travelers will need to rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage, which can normally be used over the data connection. These apps may be blocked or restricted in some destinations, so it is advisable to verify that the services you depend on are accessible in Costa Rica before purchasing.

eSIMCard provides 28 single‑country plans that cover Costa Rica and an additional 65 multi‑country plans that include the country in their rotation. The available plans span a price range from about $6.43 to $395.07 and offer data caps between 1 GB and 100 GB. Plans are available in both daily‑cap and fixed‑amount formats, the former giving a set amount of data per day and the latter offering a total data allowance that lasts the full validity period.
