nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

NextSIM does not provide a plan that offers truly unlimited high‑speed data in Costa Rica. The plans that list “Unlimited” in their name actually have a fixed daily data allowance—either 1 GB or 2 GB—after which the connection speed is reduced to 512 kbps or 2 Mbps, respectively. Because of this throttling, the data is not unlimited in the sense of continuous high‑speed use.

Travelers who need larger amounts of unthrottled data can choose one of NextSIM’s fixed‑data options, such as the 100GB 30‑day standard plan for $76.22 USD or the 50GB 30‑day standard plan for $43.31 USD. These plans provide a fixed, higher data allowance without a speed reduction, and may be more cost‑effective for users who consume large amounts of data.

No, nextSIM does not provide an eSIM plan with a phone number or SMS for travelers visiting Costa Rica. The provider offers only data‑only plans for that destination. Travelers who need voice or text can use popular VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection, but they should verify that these services are accessible in Costa Rica before purchasing, as some destinations may block or restrict particular apps or VoIP services.

nextSIM provides 58 single‑country data plans and 49 multi‑country data plans for Costa Rica. The available options span a price range from approximately $2.38 to $1, 258.60 and a data cap range of 1 GB to 100 GB, with validity periods from 1 to 365 days. Among these, 32 plans feature a daily data cap while 75 offer a fixed data cap, giving travelers flexibility in choosing the type that best matches their usage needs.
