Skratch eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Skratch does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their name give a fixed amount of high‑speed data—2 GB per day for a set number of days—after which the speed is reduced to 512 kbps (or 1000 kbps for South America bundles).

If a traveler needs more data, Skratch offers fixed‑data plans such as the Costa Rica 20 GB 30 day plan for $46.99 USD or the Costa Rica 10 GB 30 day plan for $31.99 USD. These plans provide a larger total data allowance without the speed throttling that follows the daily limit on the “Unlimited” bundles.

Skratch does not provide a Costa Rica eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from Skratch for Costa Rica. Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection for calls and messaging; however, some destinations may block or restrict access to certain apps or VoIP services, so it is advisable to check that the services you rely on are reachable in Costa Rica before purchasing.

Skratch offers 11 single‑country data packages that cover Costa Rica, and the same 11 multi‑country packages that include the country in their coverage. Prices range from $6.99 to $719.70 and data caps range from 1 GB to 20 GB over validity periods of 3 to 30 days. Some plans cap data on a daily basis, while others provide a fixed total data amount; when speed reduction applies the cap is limited to 512 kbit/s or 1 Mbit/s.
