📋 Local Privacy Laws & Regulations

Costa Rica requires cédula or passport verification for SIM purchases. Telecommunications operators must collect customer identification and maintain records under Costa Rican regulatory frameworks.

Why IP Routing Matters for Your Privacy

What is IP routing? When you use an eSIM, your internet traffic routes through servers in a specific country. This determines your visible IP address and which country's surveillance laws apply to your data.

The problem: Many eSIM providers route traffic through Hong Kong or China because it's cheaper — exposing your data to surveillance with no privacy protections.

PikaSim's solution: We clearly label IP routing on every package. Look for the Max Privacy badge for packages that route through privacy-respecting countries (local, US, EU) — not Hong Kong or China.

⚖️

Is a no-KYC eSIM legal? Yes, here is why.

PikaSim eSIMs are roaming data services, not local SIM cards. The ID-registration laws you may have heard about apply to activating a local SIM with a local carrier. They do not reach a roaming data plan, the same way a tourist roaming on their home carrier never shows ID to a local network. On top of that, selling mobile data is a telecommunications service, not a financial product, so the money-laundering ID rules that cover banks and money transfers simply do not apply. We ask for nothing because we are not legally required to, and we choose to collect nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions - Costa Rica eSIM

Do I need to show ID or create an account to use a PikaSim eSIM in Costa Rica?

No. PikaSim data eSIMs require no account, no email, and no ID or KYC. You buy the plan, receive a QR code, and install it. This is different from buying a local Costa Rican SIM in-country, which can involve showing a passport at some shops. To top up later, you only need the eSIM's ICCID number, not an account.

Can I make calls or send texts with a Costa Rica data eSIM?

No, our data eSIMs are data-only, with no voice minutes or SMS. You can still call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp, Signal, FaceTime, or Telegram, which is how most travelers stay in touch. If you specifically need a real phone number that can send and receive regular SMS or calls, PikaSim offers separate phone-number eSIMs for that purpose.

How is the mobile coverage in Costa Rica?

Coverage is good across San Jose, the Central Valley, and major tourist areas like Tamarindo, Jaco, and La Fortuna. Our supplier connects to major local networks. Expect weaker or no signal in remote spots such as parts of the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado, deep rainforest, and some mountain roads. If you're heading somewhere isolated, download offline maps beforehand and don't rely on constant data.

Can I pay with cryptocurrency, and how much do plans cost?

Yes. You can pay by card or with crypto, including Bitcoin, Lightning, and Monero. Monero and Lightning are the most private options if that matters to you. Plans for Costa Rica start around 7.74 US dollars, and we offer 10 plans so you can pick the data amount and duration that fit your trip. Prices vary by data and validity, so check the current options on the page.

How do I activate the eSIM, and should I do it before or after I arrive?

You install the eSIM by scanning the QR code we send, which takes a couple of minutes. Install it before you travel while you still have a reliable connection, but wait to activate or start the plan until you arrive in Costa Rica, since validity often begins on first use or first network connection. Your phone must be eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked. Check your device settings for eSIM support before buying.

What is an Unlimited Daily plan?

Unlimited Daily plans give you a set amount of high-speed data (e.g., 1GB or 3GB) that resets every 24 hours. After using your daily allowance, you stay connected with unlimited data at reduced speeds until your high-speed data resets the next day. This is called a Fair Usage Policy and is standard across the industry. You'll never run out of data completely - perfect for staying connected throughout your trip.

Is this a burner eSIM?

Yes. PikaSim is a data-only burner eSIM. It connects you to the internet without attaching your identity to the connection. You can use it for your trip and delete it afterwards. No contracts, no logs, no trace.
