The SIM Shop eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

The SIM Shop does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for Costa Rica. Instead, it offers fixed data plans that must be used within a set validity period. Examples include a 20GB plan valid for 30 days, a 20GB plan valid for 90 days that includes 5G coverage, and a 10GB plan valid for 30 days.

Choosing a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective for most travelers, unless the user expects to consume data at a very high rate. The validity of each plan starts on the first network connection, and the data allowance is a hard limit that must be used before the plan expires.

The SIM Shop does not provide any Costa Rica eSIM that includes a phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIMs are available to travelers. Many users rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage for voice and messaging over the data connection, but availability of these services can vary by destination, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps you need will work in Costa Rica before purchasing an eSIM.

The SIM Shop offers 5 single‑country plans and 20 multi‑country plans for Costa Rica. Prices range from $4.95 to $132.42 and data caps span 1 GB to 20 GB. Some plans provide a fixed data amount for the entire validity period, while others impose a daily data cap that limits usage each day; there are 21 fixed‑data plans and 4 daily‑cap plans.
