Collection: eSIM for Costa Rica

Hot Telecom, in partnership with Airalo: data by GB, from 1 to 20 GB and from 7 to 30 days, on the Claro 4G network and with hotspot. If the same trip takes you to Panama or Nicaragua, a regional eSIM for the Americas includes Costa Rica.

If you still have questions, Lia can help you choose.

The entry plan is $105 MXN: 7 days with 1 GB, for a short getaway with maps and messages. If you need more, there are bundles with more GB and days. No contract or monthly fee.

1 GB is enough for a week of maps and messages; 3 to 5 GB for two to four weeks with normal use; 10 to 20 GB if you work remotely, upload video or share your connection with hotspot.

Hot Telecom uses the Claro network with 4G technology (not 5G). San José, La Fortuna and Arenal, Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo and Santa Teresa have good coverage.

In Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula, Tortuguero or the Monteverde cloud forest there may be none: download offline maps before you set out.

Yes, on land (Puntarenas or Limón), when your phone connects to the Claro network. On the open sea there is no land network: on board use the cruise Wi-Fi and turn off roaming on your usual SIM to avoid charges from the ship's network.

No: Hot Telecom works only in Costa Rica. For Bocas del Toro (via Sixaola) or for Granada and San Juan del Sur (via Peñas Blancas), choose the Panama or Nicaragua eSIM, or a regional eSIM for the Americas; below you'll find the top destinations from Costa Rica.

Hot Telecom can't be topped up: when the days or data run out, you buy a new eSIM in minutes. If your trip is long, choose a 30-day plan from the start.

You get the QR by email instantly. Install it before you travel, over Wi-Fi and up to 90 days before; your usual SIM stays in your phone.

Days count from the moment it first connects to a network in Costa Rica, when you land in San José or Liberia.
