Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that list “Unlimited” in their name actually allow 1 GB per day of 5G/4G data, after which the speed is reduced to 512 kbps. For travelers who need more data without a daily limit, Giga.Tel offers fixed‑data plans such as the 5 GB and 3 GB options, each valid for 15 days, with a reduced speed of 128 kbps once the full allocation is used. Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost effective unless a user requires continuous high‑speed data beyond these allowances.

Giga.Tel does not provide a Costa Rica eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider sells only data‑only eSIM plans for Costa Rica. Travelers can still use VoIP applications, such as WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage, over the data connection for voice calls and messaging without needing a local phone number or SMS services.

Giga.Tel does not provide any single‑country plans for Costa Rica, but it offers six multi‑country plans that cover the country. Of those six, four are daily data‑cap plans where the data allowance resets each day, and the remaining two are fixed data‑cap plans with a set amount of data available for the entire validity period. The overall price range for these plans is $12.99 to $195.99, while the data caps fall between 1 GB and 5 GB and the validity ranges from 5 to 15 days.
