What you get with Saily in Costa Rica

⚡
Set up before you fly
Buy in the Saily app and install your QR code at home. Your plan activates automatically when you first connect to a local tower in Costa Rica.
📱
Keep your existing number
Saily runs as a second line alongside your home SIM. Your usual number stays active for calls and texts — Saily handles data only.
🔥
Hotspot included
All Saily Costa Rica plans include hotspot sharing, so you can connect a laptop or tablet from the same data allowance with no extra fee.
📊
Real-time data usage
Track exactly how much data you've used at any time in the Saily app, so you never get caught short before your next refill.
☎️
Travel beyond Costa Rica
If your Costa Rica trip is part of a wider journey, Saily covers many other destinations from the same app — manage everything in one place.
📅
Flexible up to 30 days
Saily Costa Rica plans run up to 30 days from first use. Buy in advance so you're ready the moment you land.

Which Saily plan should you pick?

For a short city break of 3–5 days, the cheapest plan at £1.00 will cover Maps, WhatsApp, and casual browsing. If you're spending one to two weeks travelling around Costa Rica, step up to a mid-tier plan — usually the strongest value option on a per-GB basis in Saily's Costa Rica lineup.

If you plan to work remotely, stream video daily, or use your phone as a hotspot for a laptop, lean towards a larger bundle.

One thing to note: Saily Costa Rica plans are data-only. You won't get a local number, but your existing SIM handles calls and texts as normal. iMessage, WhatsApp, and FaceTime all work over data.

Saily eSIM for Costa Rica 2026 — what you need to know

Saily is a well-regarded eSIM provider with solid Costa Rica coverage. Plans range from short-break options to longer-stay packages, making Saily a flexible choice whether you're spending a long weekend or travelling for a month.

Costa Rica has three operators: Kölbi (the state-owned ICE incumbent, biggest), Claro and Liberty (formerly Movistar after the Telefónica sale). Kölbi has the widest national footprint and the best coverage in the more remote bits of the country, which matters here. 4G is solid across San José, Liberia, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Tamarindo and the Manuel Antonio area. 5G is now launching commercially in San José and other main centres. Cloud forest tours and zip-lines around Monteverde have signal at the lodges. The Osa peninsula and Corcovado are mostly off-grid, and Tortuguero is patchy. Roads to Drake Bay drop signal fast.

Is Saily good in Costa Rica?

In our testing, Saily connected reliably across major cities and travel routes in Costa Rica. Plug is type A/B (120V, same as the US) and the currency is the colón, but US dollars are accepted absolutely everywhere alongside it. Tipping is included in restaurant bills (10% servicio), so anything extra is genuinely optional.
