nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

No, nextSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Costa Rica. Every plan labeled “Unlimited” in the data has a fixed data cap of 1 GB or 2 GB, either per day or for the entire validity period, and the speed drops to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps once the limit is reached. Travelers who need more data can instead choose from nextSIM’s fixed‑data plans, such as the 100 GB 30 days Costa Rica or the 50 GB 30 days Costa Rica, which offer large amounts of data but are still capped and not unlimited.

nextSIM does not offer an eSIM for Costa Rica that includes a phone number or SMS capability. The only eSIMs available for that country from nextSIM are data‑only plans.

Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages without needing a local phone number.

nextSIM provides a mix of single‑country and multi‑country data plans in Costa Rica. In this market the operator lists 26 single‑country plans and 40 multi‑country offerings. Prices start around $4.26 and rise to about $1,281.07, while data caps range from 1 GB up to 100 GB depending on the plan. Some plans use a fixed data allowance that remains the same for the validity period, whereas others impose a daily data limit that resets each day, offering more flexibility for short trips.
