Roaming in CR

Over the past 6+ years, of renting cell phones and wireless internet for Costa Rica, we have gotten countless questions about US carrier cellular phones roaming in Costa Rica. It is possible, albeit at ridiculously expensive rates, on a limited number of carriers, however most Verizon cell phones WILL NOT work in Costa Rica. Most Sprint phones will not work either. This is basically because their technology is not compatible with the network in Costa Rica. You will need a phone that takes a GSM sim card (not cdma like Verizon), unlocked, and compatible with the frequencies that the Costa Rican network is on. If you have a mobile internet card in the US, regardless of the carrier, this WILL not work with the Costa Rican phone network.

Because of the recent weather issues in Costa Rica causing emergencies and road closers, a few people traveling with some Costa Rican Cellular Connection customers found this out the hard way. Luckily for them, our customers were nice enough to loan them our phones and datacards to let people know back in the States that they were OK!

Costa Rica Cellular Connection has been providing Cellular and Mobile Internet applications for travelers heading to Costa Rica for over 6 years! Contact us today at 1-866-353-6492 or on the web a www.costaricacellularconnection.com.

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.

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,

Another Testimonial added to our website

Andrea, thank you so much for your service. It was a real pleasure to actually talk to the person who operates the business and has a true concern about the service they are providing. As promised, Wagner was at the airport to deliver the phone at the time promised, and then dropping the phone could not be easier. Wagner once again met me to pickup the phone at my hotel. Wonderful! Now after taking your survey about our experiences in Costa Rica, I feel I could not have made a better choice in using your services. Asking about our trip in the survey about the things we liked and did not like is refreshing. I thank you very much for the oprtunity to do business with you and would again or refer you to others. Pura Vida amiga. Kim and Jennifer http://www.costaricacellularconnection.com/testimonials.html

Wireless Internet Costa Rica at your host family's house....

...or anywhere else you need it in Costa Rica! We have completed our first 4 months of providing Wireless Internet for Costa Rica, and the reviews have been even better than we anticipated.

Our new Mobile Broadband Internet Product has been a big hit, especially with Study Abroad, or Language Program students in Costa Rica staying with host families. In many ways this has been more of a blessing for them then our phone rentals, because they can stay online and study, or communicate with friends back home. Often times students find themselves at host families that do not have internet access for them. We actually had one grateful customer tell us this allowed him to take a class online while taking Spanish classes in Costa Rica, allowing him to graduate on-time back home!

We have been told by various customers that the product is easier and faster than it's counterparts in the US, including Sprint and Verizon mobile networks. We have been told our new wireless broadband internet product works so fast, people are able to use Skype and other VOiP products so they do not need to rent a phone.
