Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited data plan for Costa Rica; every listed “Unlimited Data” option has a fixed data cap, such as 2 GB in a single‑day plan or 3 GB per day across multi‑day packages. Once the allotted data is used, the speed is throttled to a reduced rate (for example, 2000 kbps or 1000 kbps). Travelers looking for higher or more predictable data usage can instead choose a fixed‑data plan, such as the 100 GB plan valid for 31 days or the 80 GB plan valid for 365 days, which offer higher volumes of high‑speed data without the throttling that accompanies the so‑called unlimited packages.

Tourist eSIM does not offer eSIM plans that include a phone number or SMS capability for Costa Rica. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from this provider for that destination.

Travelers can still use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage over the data connection to make calls and send messages. Some destinations may restrict access to these services, so it is advisable to check that the apps you rely on work in Costa Rica before purchasing a plan.

The Tourist eSIM catalogue shows 13 single‑country plans that cover Costa Rica and 102 multi‑country plans that include the country among their destinations. Of the total plans, 20 are structured around a daily data cap while 95 have a fixed data quantity. Prices for these plans range from about $3.70 to $426.78, data caps span from 1 GB to 100 GB, and validity periods extend from one day up to a full 365 days.
