nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

nextSIM does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name are actually fixed‑data plans with caps of 1GB for the Standard line and 2GB for the Plus line. After the data allowance is reached, speed is throttled to 512kbps for Standard and 2000kbps for Plus.

Travelers who need more data can choose one of several fixed‑data options. For instance, the eSIM 100GB 30 Days Costa Rica provides 100GB of high‑speed data for a month, while the eSIM 50GB 30 Days Costa Rica offers 50GB for the same period. These plans are handpicked examples that demonstrate large data allowances; they are not the only options available. Because the fixed‑data plans give a larger, unthrottled data pool, they may be more cost‑effective for heavy‑usage travelers than the capped “Unlimited” offerings.

No. The nextSIM plans for Costa Rica are data‑only and do not include a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can still stay connected and communicate through data‑based VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, but there is no option to receive phone calls or text messages on a local Costa Rican number.

nextSIM offers a total of 28 single‑country plans and 51 multi‑country plans for Costa Rica. Single‑country plans provide data that may be used only within Costa Rica, whereas multi‑country plans give the same data allowance that can also be used in other destinations covered by the package. Prices on these plans range from about $2.25 to roughly $1, 283 USD, with data caps spanning from 1 GB up to 100 GB, and validity periods from one day to thirty days.
