Nut-trients race to cure hunger in Costa Rica

As we mentioned earlier, one of our clients was embarking on a great journey across Costa Rica on the Ruta de las Conquistadores to help fight world hunger (http://nut-rients.com/blog/). The race went as planned and even received some attention from the Tico Times.

Costa Rica Cellular Connection was proud to help a good cause and provide the team with our cellular telephones for Costa Rica, and our new Costa Rica mobile internet card product.

Here is a copy of the blog they were kind enough to write about Costa Rica Cellular Connection, and how our products helped their journey across Costa Rica.. by foot!

COSTA RICA CELLULAR: This company provided us with telecommunications—including cell phones and a cellular internet card for our computer—and loads of minutes. This technology kept my crew on course and allowed them to upload blogs and photos on the fly.

On the last night of the run, the phone became an important survival tool as I passed through a dangerous part of Caribbean Costa Rica known for drug trafficking and violent crime. A route miscalculation made me think I’d pass through this zone during daylight, so I didn’t pack my flashlight or coordinate the kind of clear rendezvous point required after dark. The course for that day was many kilometers longer than I thought and it was already dark and storming when I entered the area. I ran for about two hours in the dark, feeling my way south as best I could through the woods and shanties fronting the beach, doing my best not to draw attention to myself. My crew wasn’t where I expected them to be and I became convinced that I was off course. Then I remembered that I was packing an emergency phone provided Costa Rica Cellular.

Android Operating System Phones for Costa Rica!

As always, a lot of the great ideas we get come from customers who rented one of our cellular phones or mobile internet devices for Costa Rica. We just got another good idea from a customer who was traveling to Costa Rica and had a mobile phone with the Android Operating System back in the States. The customer decided to take the SIM card out one of our Costa Rica cell phones and put that SIM into their Android phone that wasn't operating on the Costa Rica network. Good news! The customer was able to make calls and access the broadband wireless internet around the country, along with having all the regular app's that they had grown accustomed to back home. Let us know if you have a Android phone when you rent from us!

If you don't have an Android phone and would still like to stay connected in Costa Rica by phone and internet in Costa Rica, don't worry. We can accommodate you with our own phones! Contact us today at www.costaricacellularconnection.com or by phone at 1-866-353-6492!
