Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Unlimited high‑speed data is not available from Nomad for Costa Rica. Nomad’s “unlimited” plans actually provide 2 GB per day, so after that limit the data speed is likely throttled. Travelers seeking more generous data allowances can choose from Nomad’s fixed‑data options. For example, a 20 GB plan valid for 30 days costs $29 USD, while a 50 GB plan available for 365 days is priced at $170 USD. Selecting a fixed‑data plan is typically more cost‑effective unless a user requires very heavy data usage.

Nomad does not provide a Costa Rica eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. All of its available plans for Costa Rica are data‑only, offering high‑speed internet access without inbound or outbound voice or text services. Travelers can still communicate via popular VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection, which allow voice and messaging without a phone number or SMS.

Nomad provides seven single‑country data plans and fourteen multi‑country data plans for Costa Rica, with prices ranging from roughly USD 8 to USD 170 and data caps from 1 GB to 50 GB. Some of the offerings feature a daily data cap, while the majority provide a fixed data amount.
