GSM vs. TDMA
The internet can provide us with a wealth of information when we are traveling to new places, but one must be careful to find updated information that reflects the current climate of your destination.
There is a lot of dated information out there that suggests that TDMA (older technology) cell phones work better in Costa Rica, when compared to GSM (newer technology) cells phones on the local network. We believe that this may have been true in years past, but this is probably not accurate today. I.C.E., the Costa Rican company that controls and develops the cellular network down there, has put a lot of work into upgrading the GSM network. At the same time, they have not, as an attempt to phase out TDMA technology, committed any resources to repairing or upgrading the TDMA network. We get many customers contacting us stating that they read online somewhere that TDMA is the way to go. Often times with a little more homework, we find that the post they are reading was written in 2004. Please be aware of this when renting a phone for your trip to Costa Rica.
Costa Rica Cellular Connection carries both types of mobile phones for Costa Rica-TDMA and GSM, and will accommodate for both if needed. We also, try and keep up with local network coverage results so we know what works best. We are happy to contact your destination, i.e. hotel, school etc. and get their opinion before we send out one of our phones to you.
In other news, be sure to catch the world cup qualifier game of CR vs. El Savador tonight. Go Tico's! Costa Rica needs a victory after a tough 2-0 loss to Mexico last week.
