Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Tourist eSIM does not provide a truly unlimited high‑speed data plan for Costa Rica. Plans that carry “Unlimited” in the name actually include a fixed data allowance and, once that amount is reached, the speed is reduced to 2000 kbps or 1000 kbps. Examples include the 2 GB plan for 1 day or the 3 GB per day plans for 3‑15 days, all with a speed reduction after the cap is used.

If a traveler wants high‑capacity data without such throttling, Tourist eSIM offers fixed‑data alternatives. For instance, a 100 GB plan valid for 31 days costs $67.78 USD, while a 100 GB plan for 180 days is $426.78 USD. There is also an 80 GB plan for 365 days at $171.17 USD. These allow full‑speed data until the total allowance is met, and may be more cost‑effective for heavy users than the capped “Unlimited” offers.

Tourist eSIM does not offer an eSIM for Costa Rica that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Only data‑only eSIM plans are available from this provider for travel to Costa Rica. Travelers can still use data‑based VoIP services such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage to make calls and send messages over the internet connection.

Tourist eSIM provides 13 single‑country plans that cover Costa Rica, and 97 multi‑country plans that also include Costa Rica. The single‑country plans range in price from about $3.69 to $426.78 and offer data caps from 1 GB up to 100 GB, with validity periods of 1 to 365 days. The multi‑country bundle options cover the same price and data ranges but add the flexibility to roam in several destinations. Some plans use a fixed data amount while others use a daily data cap before the overall limit is reached.
