Stay Connected in Costa Rica — No Roaming Fees
Need to navigate the winding roads to Monteverde, book a last-minute zip-line tour, or share those sloth selfies from Manuel Antonio? Costa Rica attracts adventure travelers, eco-tourists, and digital nomads seeking pura vida—but traditional roaming fees can quickly drain your budget. Our crypto-powered eSIM plans deliver 1GB to 100GB of data for 7 to 30 days, so you stay online from San José to the Osa Peninsula without surprise charges.
Your plan timer starts only when you first connect to a network in Costa Rica, not when you purchase. Check eSIM compatibility on your device by dialing *#06# and looking for an EID code. Pay with Bitcoin, USDT, ETH, or any of 20+ supported cryptocurrencies—no credit card, no paperwork, just instant activation.
- Flexible data: choose from 1GB to 100GB based on your trip
- Duration options: 7 to 30-day plans to match your stay
- Hotspot supported: share connectivity with travel companions
- Timer starts on first use: buy in advance without wasting days
- Up to 30 plans per eSIM: easily top up or stack plans
Costa Rica eSIM: What Happens When Data Runs Out
When your data or validity period expires, your connection simply stops—no hidden fees, no automatic renewals. Because you can store up to 30 plans on a single eSIM, topping up is effortless: purchase another Costa Rica plan with crypto, install it instantly, and you're back online. Whether you underestimated your Instagram usage in Tamarindo or decided to extend your stay in Puerto Viejo, adding more data takes seconds.
Hotspot functionality means you can share your connection with laptops or other devices, perfect for remote work sessions overlooking the Pacific or coordinating group travel logistics. If you haven't activated your eSIM within 60 days of purchase, you're eligible for a full refund—buy confidently before your flight and activate when you land.

Compatibility
Most modern smartphones support eSIMs, including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 3+, and many others. To check if your device supports eSIM: dial *#06# — if you see an EID code, your device is compatible. Your device must also be unlocked (not carrier-locked). To check on iPhone: Settings → General → About → Carrier Lock → should show "No SIM Restrictions".
How it works
After purchase, you will receive a one-click activation link via email.
- Open the activation link directly on your device.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install the eSIM.
- Turn on Data Roaming in your settings.
- Select the eSIM as your mobile data source.
- Done — your eSIM connects automatically upon arrival in the coverage area.
Important: install the eSIM before traveling — you'll need a stable Wi-Fi or mobile internet connection to complete the installation. Validity starts only when the eSIM first connects to a mobile network.
