Wireless Internet Costa Rica

One of our new products here at Costa Rica Cellular Connection is our Data Card product, USB modems that allow our clients to connect to the internet at broadband speeds, anywhere their travels take them in Costa Rica. The reviews have been great from our clients that used our mobile internet product, however we wanted to test it for ourselves. It worked great- in fact I was emailing customers while we were driving down the road. We also wanted to see what the Wifi options were at a lot of the hotels in Costa Rica, as we understand people are weighing this into their options. The good news- many hotels in Costa Rica are starting to provide Wifi hotspots their guests. The bad news-this generally means in the common areas like the lobby, and the restaurants, and can be spotty if you are not in the correct location. I think this may have to do with the fact that many of the building structures are concrete with effects the frequency that a Wifi network uses. If you want to be able to access the internet from anywhere else, our 3G internet product is the way to go. We have been to about 8 hotels in the last month or so, ranging from really nice to a more economy motel, and found this to be the case, no internet in the room. One place, if we stood in the corner of the room we were able to access the internet! Safe travels! Contact us today at www.costaricacellularconnection.com or at 1-866-353-6492.

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. I turned it on with great relief and my crew talked me to the next checkpoint. Without that backup phone I might still be wandering the Caribbean coast......."

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!

Once we run out, it can be very challenging to secure more mobile phone lines, or wireless internet lines, so we can't just flip a switch for additional customers.

Costa Rica Cellular Connection rents cellular phones and prepaid sim cards for Costa Rica, and now offers Mobile Broadband internet so you can travel with your laptop while enjoying Costa Rica.

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.
