CLARO eSIM for Costa Rica

Can I get a CLARO eSIM for my trip?

About CLARO

CLARO is a major Costa Rica mobile operator, with strong coverage across cities and popular travel destinations.

When you activate a JamboSim Costa Rica eSIM, your phone connects to CLARO (or another supported local network) the moment you arrive, no app install, no manual APN setup. You keep your regular number on WhatsApp and iMessage while data runs on the local network.

Why travellers choose CLARO

Nationwide 5G / 4G LTE

CLARO operates a modern 5G network across Costa Rica's major cities, with 4G LTE everywhere else.

Instant activation

Buy now, scan once, your Costa Rica eSIM activates automatically when you land.

Travel-friendly coverage

Tested on the routes travellers actually use, airports, hotels, transit hubs and tourist districts.

Auto-connects via JamboSim

Your eSIM picks CLARO automatically where available, and falls back to other supported networks seamlessly.

Travelling to Costa Rica from the UK, US or Ireland?

Most UK and US plans treat Costa Rica as a rest-of-world destination, so data outside your bundle is billed per megabyte. A JamboSim eSIM on CLARO replaces that with one price you pay before you fly.

Cheaper than your home roaming

EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three, and in the US Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, all charge a daily or per-MB rate for Costa Rica. Your CLARO data runs on a local plan instead, with no bill shock when you get home.

No local SIM shop, no ID checks

Buying a CLARO SIM in Costa Rica usually means a passport copy, a registration form and a queue at the airport. The eSIM is installed before departure and connects on landing.

English support, prices in GBP or USD

You pay in your own currency and our support team answers in English, seven days a week, including install help for CLARO.
