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.

Costa Rica Cellular Connection has been providing phones, SIM Cards, and Broadband Data Cards to travelers heading to Costa Rica for over 7 years.  Contact us today at www.costaricacellularconnection.com or by phone at 1-866-353-6492.

Semana Santa Travel Costa Rica (Easter Week)

If you are traveling to Costa Rica on Semana Santa, the week leading up to Easter, you are in for a treat. It is a great time of year to be down there. This year Easter falls on April 8th meaning Easter Week will be from April 1st through 8th. One thing to be aware of is that many things in the country shut down, especially near the end of the week as it progresses towards Easter.

That being said, if you are traveling to Costa Rica that week and will be renting or purchasing a Prepaid SIM Card, Data Card, or a cell phone, try and get your order in early and get it delivered in the US or Canada, or let us know where you want it delivered in Costa Rica before that week. We will do everything we can to accomodate last minute orders in and around the Easter weekend, but sometimes it can be tricky getting people to work down there on those days! We recommend thinking about this for all your trip planning, not just in relation to our products. Have a great trip!
