Pre-paid sim cards available?

[BoilerUp]

Hello,
I’m travelling down to Costa Rica next month from the states and will be there for about a week, but will need use of my cell phone. Sprint’s international roaming rates are crazy ($2/min) so I was looking for information on prepaid sim cards.

Some sites I’ve seen say that they are not available, while others say that they have become available recently. Does anyone have some first-hand knowledge of which is the truth?

And if they are available, where would I go to purchase them?
I’m flying into San Jose and then catching a small plane to the Dominical/Palmar Sur region if it makes a difference.

Thanks alot for any info.

These are Viajera 199 cards, but they only are compatible with specific unlocked, GSM phones. Many business sell the cards, and possibly at the SJ airport.Have no idea, though, about area you are headed to.
