Does anyone know anything about Cell Phone "RENTAL" in Costa Rica?
February 5th, 2010
We’re planning a trip to Costa Rica this July and from what I understand my verizon phone won’t be of any use to me there. I’ve done some research and found that people rent cell phones while on vacation. I’ll have to have some form of communication because I have a 2 yr. old daughter that will be staying with the grandparents…anyone have any experience with this??
My cell phone (GSM) form Rogers (Canada), would connect to the CR network and allow me to retrieve messages without any problems. However, Verizon does not have an agreement with CR, so your phone will not work there.
With regards to renting phone in Costa Rica, while I do not have direct experience, I have heard is easily done but is rather expensive. Also, keep in mind that the cell phone coverage is somewhat spotty.
