Renting a telephone for more than 90 days is very costly. We have therefore developed a Long Term Rental Plan for people who either are planning to move here and need a phone or for those who may visit Costa Rica frequently for pleasure or business and do not wish to pay the regular rental rates.
Basically, under this plan, you will own the cell phone and we will rent you the cell phone number (line). This is by far a more economical plan than renting under regular rates.

Nearly all heavily traveled tourist locations DO have coverage, but the only way to know for sure would be to call (not write) to the locations you will be traveling and ask them if there is cell coverage where they are.

Note: We offer a 10% discount from the RENTAL per minute rates only, to members of the Association of Residents of Costa Rica - ARCR. To receive this discount you MUST provide your current membership number in the comments section of the reservation form. You must be a paid member at the time of the rental and at the time of the reservation!
