EtravelSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

EtravelSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that include “Unlimited” in their name actually supply 2 GB of high‑speed data per day and then reduce the speed to 2048 kbps once that daily limit is reached. For travelers who need no throttling, fixed‑data options are available, such as the 20 GB and 50 GB plans that are valid for 30 days. Choosing a fixed‑data plan may be more cost‑effective for heavy data users, but there is no option that offers unlimited high‑speed data.

EtravelSIM does not provide an eSIM with a local phone number or SMS capability for Costa Rica. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from this provider. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages, but these services do not rely on a traditional phone number or SMS.

EtravelSIM offers 11 single‑country plans that include Costa Rica and 3 multi‑country plans that include Costa Rica, a total of 14 options. The plans are available in two basic styles: fixed data amounts, which comprise ten plans, and daily data caps, which comprise four plans. Prices range from about $4.50 to $70, data caps from 1 GB up to 50 GB, and validity period is between 5 and 30 days.
