Tourist eSIM eSIM Data Plans for Costa Rica

Tourist eSIM lists several plans for Costa Rica that carry the word “Unlimited” in their name, but those plans actually provide a set amount of high‑speed data each day. For example, the Latin America (17+ countries) Unlimited Data 5‑Day plan includes 3GB of high‑speed data per day, after which the speed is reduced to 1000kbps. Similarly, the Costa Rica‑specific Unlimited Data 1‑Day plan gives 2GB per day and reduces to 2000kbps once the daily allocation is used. These daily caps mean the plans are not truly unlimited; they are fixed‑data bundles with throttling after the per‑day allowance is reached.

If a traveler needs more continuous data without daily limits, Tourist eSIM offers fixed high‑volume plans such as 100 GB for 180 days or 80 GB for 365 days. These provide a larger overall data allowance and, while they may still throttle speed after the full amount is consumed, they avoid the daily reset seen in the named “Unlimited” bundles. Choosing one of these larger fixed data plans is generally more cost‑effective for heavy users compared to repeatedly purchasing a daily unlimited bundle.

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.

Tourist eSIM is listed among the providers in the dataset with a total of 13 single‑country plans and 100 multi‑country plans available worldwide. The dataset does not separate these figures by destination, so it does not specify how many of those plans are specifically valid for Costa Rica. In general, plans range from about $3.68 to $426.78 and offer data caps from 1 GB to 100 GB, with validity periods spanning 1 to 365 days.
