Will the eSIM work in Costa Rica?

Yes. Once you scan the QR code, your phone connects to a local network in Costa Rica - just like a SIM bought on arrival, only without hunting for a shop or showing your passport.

What network technology does the eSIM use, and how fast will it be?

The eSIM connects using whatever the local operator offers - usually LTE, and 5G in some countries. No eSIM provider can guarantee real-world speed, ourselves included: none of us build the masts, we all ride on the same infrastructure as SIM cards bought locally. Downtown will be faster than the mountains, a desert or a small island - and that depends on the state of the network in Costa Rica, not on who sold you the eSIM.

How much data do I need for Costa Rica?

Normal phone use - maps, messaging, social media - burns 700 MB to 1.2 GB a day, so 5-8 GB covers a week. Navigation costs 100-200 MB per hour, social media 100-150 MB. Video is the expensive one: an hour of streaming or a video call can take up to 1 GB. Leave films for the hotel wi-fi and a smaller plan is plenty. For Costa Rica we have 6 plans, sized 1 GB - 20 GB.

When does the validity period start?

The moment the eSIM first connects to a network in Costa Rica - not when you buy it. You can purchase and install it days before departure; the clock starts after you land.

How it works

Pick a plan and pay - by card, transfer or BLIK.
Your QR code arrives by e-mail the moment the payment goes through.
Scan the code in your phone settings and you are done.

Install the eSIM at home, on your own wi-fi. Data switches on by itself when you land - no hunting for a network, no buying a SIM at the airport.

How much data to pick? A quick guide

Plan size depends on what you do on your phone, not on how long you travel. Video makes the biggest difference.

How you use your phone	1 day	3 days	7 days	14 days
No video Maps, WhatsApp, e-mail, Uber	1 GB	2 GB	5 GB	10 GB
With social media The above + Instagram, Facebook, browsing	2 GB	5 GB	10 GB	20 GB
With streaming The above + TikTok, YouTube, video calls	3 GB	10 GB	20 GB	unlimited

You do not have to get it exactly right. Leave films for the hotel wi-fi and the first row is enough. If you run out, you can top up without swapping the eSIM.
