You can buy them from street venders where they have permanent stands on the corners. 3000 colones about $8. will get you about 13 minutes to the US. or lots of time in Costa Rica. There is no long distance in CR. One Area Code 506. SEAHAWK |

One word of caution about the ICE phone cards. I bought one and made a couple quick local calls within costa rica. One moment I had about 2800 colones worth of talk time left then the next moment I had 700 colones. I must of spent about one or two minutes at most talking on the phone and then my $ balance vanished into thin air. only in costa rica. |

There are 2 types of cards. One has you dial 199 or 198, then you type in the pin number on the card. The other has a chip in it - you insert it into the phone, but those types of phones are limited. Neither are low cost, but I don't know of a cheaper option. Anybody ?? The 199 type card is very convenient, and I always buy one of these. I use it for local and international calls. I also buy a card with a chip, because I call my cell phone's voice mail for messages. It asks me to press # for messages. The 199 or 198 cards interpret the # as a disconnect, which ends the call. Very frustrating. Now I know. |
