[quote=”cristinam7″]My husband and I brought both of our At&t iPhones down with us in November. His was unlocked already so we went to Kolbi and purchased a SIM card and a number for about 20,000 colones. .[/quote]

I just moved to Costa Rica a couple of weeks ago and purchased a prepaid sim card for an unlocked AT&T iphone from a Kolbi store. I spoke to the guy in spanish the whole time and only paid 3mil colones ($6). Can’t imagine why it would have been $40 for your husband?

I know I’ll find more information and better pricing while I’m actually in the country, but are craigslist and encuentra24.com misleading with their pricing? Are these listings Gringo pricing? I speak fluent spanish (parents are Colombian) so hoping I can negotiate a better rate. Is this realistic?

Thank you for your feedback. I plan on finding a temporary apartment while I travel around and decide what will work best for me. I’ve heard great thing about the La Fortuna area and plan to check it out while I’m there. I appreciate your advice.
