Frequently Asked Questions

Got some questions before your Journey? Well here's everything you need to know before you go

Yes. You will have strong 4G coverage on the main trails and beaches of Manuel Antonio, perfect for uploading videos of the monkeys and sloths you spot along the way.

Most modern phones do, but you must check our specific list here: eSIM Compatible Devices to be 100% sure before purchasing.

Yes. Uber and Didi are widely used in San José and larger towns like Jaco. Reliable data is essential to book rides safely and track your driver without needing cash.

Yes. Coverage is excellent in the town of La Fortuna and around the Arenal Volcano hot springs, allowing you to share photos of the iconic cone-shaped volcano instantly.

You will generally have signal in Tortuguero village and the main waterways, but expect the connection to drop as you travel deeper into the remote canals for turtle watching tours.

Yes, but it depends on the terrain. Costa Rica is famous for its biodiversity. You will have excellent 4G/LTE coverage in popular tourist hubs like Manuel Antonio, Tamarindo, and La Fortuna (Arenal Volcano). However, in dense cloud forests like Monteverde or remote areas like Corcovado and Tortuguero, the signal can be spotty due to the thick jungle canopy and mountains. We recommend downloading offline maps before hiking deep into the reserves.

Absolutely. This is critical because Costa Rica does not use standard street addresses. Drivers rely entirely on landmarks and apps like Waze (which is more popular and accurate than Google Maps locally) to get around. Our eSIM provides reliable high-speed data to keep your Waze running smoothly, alerting you to potholes, police checks, and traffic jams on the winding roads.

Yes. Many "Eco-Lodges" and hostels in popular surf towns like Santa Teresa or Nosara have very slow satellite Wi-Fi that only works in the reception area. If you are a digital nomad needing to work or just want to watch Netflix in your bungalow, a Cellesim eSIM gives you a private, faster connection superior to the crowded shared Wi-Fi.

This specific plan is valid only within Costa Rica. Many backpackers travel the route from Costa Rica north to Nicaragua (San Juan del Sur) or south to Panama (Bocas del Toro). Once you cross the border, your connection will stop. For a seamless Central American adventure, we highly recommend our Latin America Regional eSIM to stay connected across all borders.

In a country with rugged terrain, network choice is vital. Our eSIM connects to the country's top providers, typically Kolbi (ICE), Claro, or Liberty. Kolbi is widely considered to have the most extensive coverage in rural and remote areas, ensuring you stay connected even when you are off the beaten path.
