I have heard that Magic Jack nor Vonage doesn’t work in Costa Rica. What cell phone service is available? What’s the easiest way to establish cell phone service or is it not available at all? Thinking of settling in the Central Highlands area. Thanks for any response you can give.
MagicJack and Vonage both work just fine anywhere there is adequate Internet service. Thatis the unanswered question. Skype works, too.
ICE, Movistar and Claro all offer cellular service with varying coverage areas. You can buy a prepaid SIM from any of them without needing to be a legal resident. Your cellphone must operate on the GSM technology, not on CDMA, and it must be unlocked.
We treid ICE’s Kolbi for two years and got only sporadic communication around Ciudad Colon but both Moviestar and Claro were both much better choices. With both we get reception everywhere we go.
