Staying connected in Costa Rica with a local eSIM

Plans for Costa Rica connect through local networks — Claro, Local network — so your data runs on a domestic carrier, not expensive home-roaming. Cities and tourist areas usually have solid coverage; rural stretches can drop off, and that's normal on every network. Where the infrastructure supports it you'll get 5G; elsewhere the phone falls back to 4G/LTE automatically. Most plans allow hotspot sharing — check the label on the plan card.

The Americas: cities vs open land

Domestic flights, Uber and mobile check-in all run from the phone. Local data saves roaming money and speeds up logistics.

How do you install and activate?

Install the eSIM on Wi‑Fi before your flight, and turn on data roaming only after landing. Full iPhone and Android guide — on the How it works page.

When should I install the eSIM for Costa Rica?

Do Costa Rica plans support hotspot?

Will the Costa Rica eSIM work on my phone?

How much data do I need for a trip to Costa Rica?

Does my home SIM keep working alongside the eSIM?
Yes. The eSIM sits next to your regular SIM, so your home number and WhatsApp keep working as usual. Just turn off data roaming on your home line so browsing goes through the travel plan instead of expensive roaming.
What if I have no signal after landing in Costa Rica?
First make sure Data Roaming is on for the eSIM line and that it is selected for mobile data. Still nothing? Pick a network manually in settings. And if you get stuck, our support answers on WhatsApp 24/7.
