Do the Android Phones work in San Jose?

cheers,

My travel phone is a dual sim Android. I had no problems with it at all. However, the better question would be what frequency does your phone operate and is it GSM?

Post your phone make and model and carrier, that would help answer your question. Phone needs to be UNLOCKED before you can use it on a different carrier.

one of my buddy visited Costa Rica recently and he uses samsung android. One of the major thing he told me about costa rica is that ANDROID WORKS there.

How about the google voice app groove ip? Does it work with cr ip's?

Basicially anything T-mobile or AT&T with a sim card should work with there.

if you have international roaming, nearly every carrier will work.

Google Nexus is spendy @ $399 but it should work. Unlocked out-of-the-box, will work on AT&T or T-Mobile in the USA, (or Rogers/Fido in Canada?), it's pentaband HSDPA and quad-band GSM so it should work on any HSDPA or GSM system anywhere in the world.

Another nice benefit: you don't get the carrier-sponsored bloatware that usually comes preinstalled on phones purchased from a U.S. wireless carrier.

The downside is the up-front cost, plus some people might consider it a bit big. It also looks like an expensive phone and some people might not be comfortable waving such a thing around some places. (In the USA *or* CR.)

Costa Rica operates on a gsm frequency of 1800mhrz. So any unlocked quad band phone will work. Just pop a Kolbi, Claro or Moviestar sim in, and start chatting.
