Where to buy a prepaid SIM card in Costa Rica?

There are two main ways to buy a SIM card for Costa Rica:

1. Buy before you travel from an online store like Holafly

2. Buy once you arrive in Costa Rica

But which is the best option for you? We recommend buying before you travel, and let’s take a look at why:

Buy before you travel

We recommend buying your SIM card before you leave for Costa Rica. This will give you the peace of mind to enjoy your trip the moment you arrive, rather than searching for internet when you arrive.

  • Free phone number and incoming calls

With a SIM card from Holafly, you’ll receive a free phone number. Your contacts will be able to call and message you, and you’ll not face any additional charges. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to keep your original number with WhatsApp:

  • Keep your number on WhatsApp

With a new SIM card, you won’t lose your existing WhatsApp number. So you’ll still have your contacts and conversations. Wherever you are, you’ll be able to send photos and videos of your travels back home, for loved ones to see.

  • Easy to use

SIM cards for Costa Rica are easy to set up. If you buy from a store like Holafly, all you have to do is purchase from their website, receive your SIM within 3 days, then insert the card once you arrive in Costa Rica. As long as you follow the simple set-up instructions, you’ll be connected in seconds.

  • Data in other destinations

If you’re traveling to other countries in Central or South America, you can buy Holafly’s Latin America SIM card. For one, cheap price, you’ll be able to access the internet in Panama, Peru, Chile, Nicaragua, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and El Salvador. This is a great advantage if you plan to make multiple trips and don’t want to spend too much money on SIM cards or pay expensive roaming fees.

Holafly online store

Of all the SIM cards you can buy, we recommend Holafly’s Costa Rica SIM card. It offers an excellent internet connection at a low price. Just head to their online store and use their secure payment system. Once you complete all these steps, your Holafly SIM card will be on its way.

And did you know that they offer free shipping!? Plus, if you have problems with your SIM card, just contact their 24/7 customer support team. Holafly offers different options depending on what you need. Are you traveling to multiple countries in Latin America? You don’t need to buy a SIM card for each country. Just buy the Holafly Latin America SIM card, which offers internet connection in several countries for just one price.

Buy your SIM card in Costa Rica

We recommend buying your SIM card before you go, but there is one main advantage to buying at your destination:

  • More options

Buying your SIM in Costa Rica, you’ll be able to choose between multiple brands and all the packages they offer. So you’ll definitely find the right option for you. We recommend buying from Claro, Movistar, or Kolbi, which are the best data providers in the country. These providers have stores around the country.

Frequently asked questions about the prepaid Costa Rica SIM card

What other options offer me internet in Costa Rica?

You can activate data roaming and use data provided by your current provider. But be aware that this will be very expensive. If you plan on using this option, you can expect a hefty phone bill when you get back home. Alternatively, you could buy Pocket Wi-Fi (a portable device that generates a WiFi connection for your phone). This option is also expensive and you’ll have to carry the device everywhere. A SIM card for Costa Rica is the cheapest and most convenient way of connecting to the internet.

How much does data roaming cost in Costa Rica?

Data roaming in Costa Rica is very expensive. The exact cost depends on your operator but you can expect to pay between $7 and $15 per MB. So if you watched a movie on Netflix, you could be charged $100s. That’s why we recommend buying a prepaid SIM card for Costa Rica.

What is the best SIM for tourists in Costa Rica?

You need a SIM card with a good connection and fast internet. A bonus is having a SIM card from a company that offers free delivery and free customer support. Holafly offers all these features at a cheap price. If you have any technical difficulties, just contact their 24/7 customer support.

What do I do if my SIM card does not work in Costa Rica?

If you buy your SIM card from Holafly, you can contact their customer support team 24/7. All SIM cards come with clear and comprehensive set-up instructions.
