Long Term Plan

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. 

For more information, please CALL us at:

From the USA877-268-2918
From Chicago or Illinois312-324-0084
In Costa Rica 2293-5892 or 8379-0676
From Other Countries+506-293-5892

  • About 75% of Costa Rica has cell phone coverage.  We can make no guarantee if you will have service everywhere you travel.

Who Needs an 800 number?

Here are the three most common reasons:

  1. Parents with children whose cell phones are blocked for international calling.

  2. Business people who want their clients to be able to r4each them but NOT pay for an international call.

  3. People with aging parents or other family who want a simple way to call internationally without having to deal with international calling and country codes
