SimBalkan eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

SimBalkan does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Costa Rica. All plans labeled “Unlimited” in the provider’s catalogue contain a fixed 1GB allowance per day, and once that limit is reached the data speed is throttled, so the plan is not unlimited in the usual sense.

Travelers who need more consistent high‑speed data may choose from SimBalkan’s fixed‑data options. For example, the “Costa Rica · 20 GB · 30 days” plan offers 20 GB of 5G data for a month and the “Costa Rica · 10 GB · 30 days” or “Costa Rica · 5 GB · 30 days” plans provide 10 GB or 5 GB respectively for the same period. These fixed‑data plans are generally more cost‑effective for regular travelers than the short‑duration “Unlimited” plans that have lower total data.

SimBalkan does not offer an eSIM for Costa Rica that includes a local phone number or SMS capability; all available plans are data‑only. Travelers who need to send or receive texts or make voice calls can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection, but some destinations may block or restrict these services, so it is advisable to check that the apps you intend to use are accessible in Costa Rica before purchasing a plan.

SimBalkan lists ten single‑country plans and five multi‑country plans that include coverage in Costa Rica. The price of available plans ranges from about $3.35 to $92.18, while the data caps span 1 GB to 20 GB and validity periods range from 1 to 30 days. The single‑country offerings include both fixed‑data packages, which give a set amount of data for the entire validity, and daily‑cap packages, where the data allowance is reset each day. The multi‑country plans follow a similar structure, offering either a fixed total data share across the selected regions or a daily data cap that applies to each day of the activation period.
