Not sure if you are aware but when you come back, keep that CR Sim and you can recharge it online via MasterPago.com even for just a dollar, or have a friend in CR do it for you even for just 25 cents--all he needs is your tel #, do-able in 3 minutes at a thousand locations, and always at least once within 120 days, or you lose your sim and your #. Nice to have the same number for your friends there and contacts that may need to reach you back home.


Great advice, thank you sir!!

Has anyone ever used LlamaCostaRica.com to recharge your sim? I haven't yet but I'm having trouble navigating MasterPago.com. PM me if you can guide me through MasterPago. Thanks in advance.

Masterpago was a pain in the ass getting an account set up with them, at least when I did it a while back. Had to fax them my passport and some other seemingly other unnecessary jump thru hoops bs when alll your doing is using a credit card for $1, then had to wait a day for the password to come (123456--wow-so unique!) But, once set up it's easy.

Later, I was also able to do it direct thru ICE's website (govt run CR cell phone co) but the link I had for them now just kicks me over to MasterPago. Maybe someone has a better link, but that one was really good because it gave you the name of the person linked to the phone--so you could check on a chica if you had her #--probably useless info anyway--but maybe not.

I think Master Pago has a live chat link and that may help.

I did see that LlamaCR site, seemed reasonable, but I think the minimum recharge was $5 US.

If all else fails, have a friend go to the pharmacy or another of their 1,000 recharge locations and recharge it for 25 cents, all they need is your tel #, nothing elswe, and then you are good for 120 days.

Thanks DGD. Sounds like having a friend do it is the simplest way to go. I was getting frustrated on the MasterPago site.
