3G Phones vs. GSM Phones Costa Rica

If you are traveling to Costa Rica and are planning on using/renting/purchasing a cell phone to use down there, you definitely want to make sure you use a 3G phone.  GSM phones do not perform nearly as well as the 3G service, and in many of the destination area's for tourist, there is little to no GSM coverage.  ICE stopped building out that network when they began to offer 3G service and the because of this the coverage areas now suffer.

Costa Rica Cellular Connection only offers 3G phones if you decide to get one from us..but if you don't us Costa Rica Cellular Connection, you should still look for an unlocked 3G phone, not GSM.  If you have your own quad band unlocked 3G phone, you can also purchase of our our Kolbi Sim Cards which are reload-able all over Costa Rica, and offer the best rates.  You can get these from us before you leave for your trip in the US or Canada.
