iPhone Connection in Costa Rica w/o the huge roaming rates!

Sometimes our best ideas at Costa Rica Cellular Connection come from the ingenuity of our customers. We recently launched our mobile wireless internet product for Costa Rica, to rave reviews with regards to speeds and coverage. The 3g network for Costa Rica has also allowed for greater coverage for our cellular phone rentals as well.

We had a customer who, like many iPhone users, felt awkward without having their trusty iphone with them in Costa Rica, but didn't want to pay the outrageous roaming fees that AT&T would charge them for using it in Costa Rica, usually $2-$3/minute. Since leaving home without the iPhone wasn't an option for this person, they successfully used the sim card from out datacards, to access the internet where ever there travels took them in Costa Rica. They didn't have to look for hotspots or internet cafes to access the web. On top of that, because our service works so well, they were able to use Skype VoIp, and google talk to call home for basically nothing! At the end of the trip, the customer was wishing the AT&T coverage was half as good as the coverage in Costa Rica. Maybe one day they will catch up!

GMAIL VOICE, 3G Coverage, Mobile Internet

Costa Rica Cellular Connection has always provided travelers with cellular phone rentals for Costa Rica, and recently added a Mobile Broadband Internet Product to allow people to connect to the internet anywhere in Costa Rica.

We've had a couple positive things happen with regards to the coverage on both products. With our data card service, customers have reported great coverage, almost everywhere. The second great thing is, ICE, the Costa Rican telecommunications company, built out the 3G network to accommodate mobile data, and this has really helped the coverage foot print for our 3g phones that we also rent. We are happy to report (mainly through customer feedback!) that coverage is getting really good in Costa Rica.

Other good news- Google has added a product to their GMAIL application that should allow for our wireless internet users to save money. The product is called google voice, and we have found it to be by far the cheapest VOiP option out there. This means a customer of ours, who travels to Costa Rica with a laptop, could rent a USB wireless internet card from us, and use it to connect to the internet and make calls, saving them money. Check it out!

Coverage in Manuel Antonio!


We just had the pleasure of having a few days of vacation in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. We like going there near the end of August and early September, because the crowds usually mellow out, and this year was no different. We took the time to test our new high speed mobile internet product and our cell phones for quality of coverage in the area. Good news-they both worked great! Coverage has always been spotty with TDMA and GSM phones once you get over the hill close to the beach and park.

We were pleased to find we could use our data cards, to get high speed internet (we could even use skype) and use our new 3G phones EVERYWHERE, including in the park. We had the same experience driving up and down the central Pacific, even down past the remote beach town of Uvita ( beautiful beach by the way. Here's a picture!).


Here's a picture of Andrea answering one your emails with the waves crashing about 50 meters away, on the north side of the main beach in Manuel Antonio!



We are happy to see improvements in the network and technology. Manuel Antonio is world renowned and many of our clients who rent mobile phones from us go there.

DATA CARD TESTIMONIAL ~INTERNET SERVICE

TESTIMONIAL

"Hi Andrea, It was our first time in Costa Rica and I wasn't sure how reliable a company like CRCC would be. To my pleasent surprise, the level of customer service, the speed and great products CRCC provide exceeded my expectation. I used their wireless broadband internet card for two weeks in Samara, Carillo, Tamarindo, Papagayo and the Liberia airport. In *all* locations the card worked perfectly. I could place calls by Skype while traveling in my car and even in the remote areas of Carillo it worked perfectly. Thank you very much!"

Thanks,
