Our Costa Rica travel eSIMs are data-only meaning you can only use them for internet and not calling or SMS messages, unless you use an internet based messaging service such as WhatsApp.
Connectivity: If you're having connectivity issues with your Costa Rica travel eSIM check out our eSIM troubleshooting guide for a troubleshooting process or of course contact us and we will get you sorted ASAP.
