Trenger jeg å gjøre noe spesielt for Costa Rica?

Nei. Du installerer eSIM-en på vanlig måte. Telefonen kobler seg til lokalt nett automatisk når du lander.

Hvor lang tid tar aktivering?

QR-koden får du på e-post umiddelbart. Selve aktiveringen tar 1-2 minutter når du er på lokalt nett.

Fungerer eSIM-en utenfor de største byene i Costa Rica?

Ja. Vi bruker partner med landsdekkende roaming-avtaler. 4G/5G der det finnes; hastigheten avhenger av det lokale nettet.

Hva om jeg går tom for data?

Vi sender varsling på 80% bruk. Du kan kjøpe påfyll uten å installere ny eSIM.
