You cannot get a pre-paid sim card to use with your own phone at this time. I understand that may change in the future, but for now, nope. The only thing I could do was call from a regular phone from there with one of their phone cards. My wife had no way to get ahold of me except to send an E-mail via someone to give a message to me! I was able to use my T-mobile phone to call her at ridiculous rates. ($1.40 minute) but we would speak for 2 minutes!! If she called me then I would have been charged not only the $1.40 min but also roaming charges AND whatever it cost for her to call me from home. Therefore, I could only call her from my cell at that high rate OR just use one of their phone cards. Definately a pain. I rented a cell phone there once, but it was just way too much. I will say this though, my T-mobile phone was just as clear from there as it is at home.
I am trying to figure this out too. My T-mobile Razr has been unlocked to be able to use in Costa Rica. From what I understand, I have to purchase an international (or Costa Rica) sim card to be able to use there. Will I be able to purchase the sim card there? It does not have to be pre-paid. Can I purchase it in the states before I go?
Help….I am going in 2 weeks for 2 weeks and I don’t want another $400.00 phone bill!!Celebs like Matthew McConaughey (an avid surfer and nature lover) and Leo Decaprio (an avid and hard working enviromentalist) would likely help to keep the place in its’ natural beauty. I don’t know about the others, but these two should be welcomed. They are probably looking for an escape from this completely wrecked and hopeless state of the environment in the U.S., just like many of us. However, I am deeply concerned about overbuilding on the beautiful coastlines of CR.
