Sim Local eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Sim Local does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that include “Unlimited” in the name actually grant a daily allowance of 5 GB or 10 GB for 7 days or 15 days; after the daily limit is reached the speed is reduced, so the data is not unlimited.

Travelers who need a large, non‑throttled amount of high‑speed data can choose one of Sim Local’s fixed data plans. For example, the Orange Holiday World 100 GB plan offers 100 GB of high‑speed data for 31 days at $92.00 USD, and the 50 GB plan provides 50 GB for the same period at $69.00 USD. These fixed plans are the available alternatives to an unlimited offering and can be more cost effective unless a user requires constant unlimited usage.

Sim Local does not offer any eSIM plans for Costa Rica that include a phone number or SMS capability. All available plans from Sim Local for the destination are data‑only, so you will not receive a local number or the ability to send or receive text messages directly.

Travelers who need voice or messaging in Costa Rica can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may block or restrict access to certain apps or VoIP services, so it is advisable to verify that the tools you rely on are accessible in Costa Rica before purchasing a data‑only plan.

Sim Local offers 10 single‑country data plans and 13 multi‑country plans for Costa Rica. Prices run from about $7.25 to $93.50, with data caps ranging from 1 GB up to 100 GB over validity periods of 3 to 31 days. Daily data cap plans allow a set amount of data to be used each day, while fixed data cap plans give a total data allotment for the entire duration of the plan.
