To use Openline in Costa Rica, buy a plan in the Openline app or website before you fly — the eSIM installs immediately and activates the moment you land and enable Data Roaming. In Costa Rica, Kolbi and Claro both carry us; LTE in San José, Liberia, Tamarindo, Puerto Viejo and Monteverde; 5G in the central valley.

Steps

  1. Open the Openline app and search for "Costa Rica".
  2. Pick a data plan sized for the length of your stay — most travellers pick a 7- or 30-day option.
  3. Pay with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or supported crypto.
  4. Install the eSIM immediately via the one-tap sheet (iPhone) or QR code (Android).
  5. On arrival, turn Data Roaming on for the Openline line.

Local details

The regulated currency is CRC, but you always pay in USD or EUR when buying Openline. Rates listed in the app already include local taxes and roaming fees, so there is nothing added at the border.

Still stuck?

Reach Openline support 24/7 through any of these channels:

When you write in, include your purchase code (the OL-… code we emailed you) and, if the eSIM is already installed, its ICCID (Settings → Cellular → tap the Openline line). That's enough for us to find your plan and diagnose without back-and-forth.
