Friends, I am a first timer to Costarica. Planning to be there on June 12th. One thing that I am not sure though is Does T-Mobile work in Costarica? I must have a phone number without letting people back home know that I am in Costarica. So what do you expert suggest? Regards Jvcking |

Not going to happen. Sure, you can subscribe to international service from t-mobile, but when you're here the phone will ring weird. People in the know will know you're not in the country. |

OK Well thanks for the information. I am disappointed though with this news. What are my other options. Can I buy a calling card in costarica and be able to call usa without disclossing that I am in CTR? There must be some solution that you experts have thout about. Common experts speak up and help your newbee friend. Regards jvcking |

If you have a laptop, I recommend MagicJack. http://www.magicjack.com/ You get your own phone number just like if you were calling from home. |

It works perfect so far. We'll see how it works tomorrow in CR, but I don't know why it wouldn't. As long as you have an internet connection, just plug it in and dial the number! |

Tmobile will not give you cover for work sometimes the caller can get a spanish message. Skyoe or magic or vonage are good cheaper alternatives that work well and are also good for just calling back to the US for 2 cents a minute, |

All, Thank you all for answering my question. I really appreciate your time. I just ordered the MagicJack. Hope it will work in CR. I am staying at Sportsman's Lodge. So people who have used magicjack there please let me know how well it worked over there. Regards jvcking |

I used it from the Castillo hotel without any problems. Made and received calls from the USA, just like I was at home. |
