Costa Rica ★★★ Verified Customer: 7002-7002

Claro Costa Rica (legal entity: Claro CR Telecomunicaciones S.A.) was formed in 2011 through the merger of two predecessor companies. As part of Mexico's América Móvil group, the Claro brand spans Latin America. As one of the first private operators after Costa Rica's 2011 market liberalization, it broke ICE/Kölbi's long monopoly. With around 3 million subscribers (2022) and 95%+ population coverage, it leads the market in 4G LTE availability (89.7%) with average download speeds of 25.4 Mbps — the country's fastest network. It operates 300+ stores plus many authorized retail points. SIM cards cost from 2,000 CRC (~$3) and require passport registration (SIM ID law). USSD entry points: *30 for balance enquiry (SMS reply), *10 for recharge menu, *321# for data balance, *555 for data bundle subscriptions, *106*PIN# for voucher recharge. Country code +506.
