eSIMCard eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

eSIMCard does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. All plans labelled “Unlimited” in the catalog actually grant a data cap of 1 GB or 2 GB per day, after which the connection speed is reduced to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps respectively.
Instead, eSIMCard offers fixed‑data plans that supply a sizable amount of high‑speed data without throttling. For example, a 100 GB plan for 30 days costs $325.55 USD, and a 50 GB plan for 30 days costs $179.55 USD. These options may be more cost‑effective for travelers who need a large, predictable amount of data in Costa Rica.

eSIMCard does not provide eSIM plans for Costa Rica that include a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are offered. Travelers in Costa Rica can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection for calls and messaging without a local phone number or SMS service.

eSIMCard lists 28 single‑country plans and 62 multi‑country plans that include Costa Rica. The plans include both fixed‑data and daily‑cap options – fixed plans give the user one data allotment that lasts the entire validity period, while daily‑cap plans reset the data allowance each day. Prices range from about $6.43 to $395.07, with data caps spanning from 1 GB up to 100 GB. Each plan’s validity can be as short as one day or as long as 180 days, and some plans note exceptions such as tethering allowance or reduced speed limits.
