What makes an eSIM the best choice for Costa Rica?
Three things decide it: a price agreed before you fly, data that doesn't run out mid-trip, and a setup you can finish at home. A prepaid unlimited travel eSIM answers all three — from £5.09 per day in Costa Rica, with the QR code in your inbox seconds after ordering.
