Coverage

Where you’ll actually have signal.

Automatic handoff between partner carriers. If one drops, another picks up — you never touch a setting.

Costa Rica

5G in major cities, 4G-LTE elsewhere. Peak speeds depend on the partner carrier’s coverage in your exact location.

Costa Rica: before you go

Where you'll have signal. San José and the beach towns — Tamarindo, Jacó, Manuel Antonio, Puerto Viejo — are well covered, with 5G in the capital. The famous gaps are the famous places: Monteverde's cloud forest, the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado, and stretches of the Nicoya back roads.

How much data you'll need. Costa Rica trips are logistics-heavy — shuttles, tours, tides, weather. A mid-size plan is the realistic floor; van-lifers and surf-camp long-stayers want unlimited.

The local catch. The gaps sit exactly where the itineraries go. Book the next leg while you're still in a covered town: confirm the Corcovado boat from Puerto Jiménez, not from the trailhead, and treat Monteverde evenings as offline.

When to activate. Install before you fly; it connects at San José (SJO) or Liberia (LIR) — Guanacaste beach trips usually want the second.
