Install on Wi-Fi before you fly, then turn on data roaming for the eSIM line after landing.
Worth knowing
Costa Rican addresses rarely use street names or numbers; directions are given relative to landmarks, so a working map app matters more here than almost anywhere. Landing at Liberia (LIR) instead of San Jose saves a four-hour drive if you are headed to the Guanacaste beach towns.

Frequently asked questions
A travel eSIM for Costa Rica is a digital mobile data plan installed on an eSIM-compatible device. It lets you use mobile data in Costa Rica without swapping your physical SIM.
Avoid deleting it while you still need the plan. If it was removed by mistake, contact support before attempting to reinstall it because reuse depends on the eSIM status and plan rules.
Contact Donesim supportAfter successful payment, delivery is usually instant through your Donesim dashboard and may also be emailed. Payment checks, network availability, email delays, or technical issues can cause delays.
Yes. Use the Costa Rica eSIM for travel data while keeping your physical SIM available for calls or SMS. Your home carrier may still charge if its line uses roaming calls, texts, or data.
Use an eSIM-compatible phone or tablet that is not carrier-locked. Compatibility depends on the exact model and regional version, so check for Add eSIM, Add mobile plan, or a similar option before buying.
Check compatibility before buyingOpen your Donesim dashboard and scan the QR code. If scanning is unavailable, use the full LPA string or the separate SM-DP+ address and activation code shown there. Then select the eSIM for mobile data.
The current Costa Rica page offers fixed-data and unlimited-data options. Compare the live data allowances, validity periods, and prices shown before checkout.
Refunds are limited for immediately deliverable digital eSIMs. Contact support with your order number. A refund may apply to a Donesim-side or network-side provisioning failure, duplicate charge, or where required by law; installed, activated, used, expired, depleted, deleted, incompatible-device, and wrong-plan purchases are generally not refundable.
