nextSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

nextSIM does not provide a true unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name offer only a fixed amount of high‑speed data—typically 1 GB per day or 2 GB per day for a set number of days—and once the cap is reached the speed drops to 512 kbps or 2000 kbps. If a traveler needs unrestricted data, nextSIM sells fixed‑cap plans such as the 100 GB 30 days Standard or the 50 GB 30 days Standard, which provide larger quantities of data without a speed throttle. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can often be more cost‑effective for heavy‑usage customers.

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 58 single‑country data plans and 51 multi‑country data plans that include Costa Rica. The available plans range in price from about $2.24 to $1, 299.63, with data caps spanning 1 GB to 100 GB and validity periods from one day up to a full year. Plans are organised either by a fixed data amount—77 options—or by a daily data cap—32 options, giving travelers the flexibility to choose plans that best fit their usage patterns.
