Do I need an international sim card?
I am going to Costa Rica next week, and I was wondering if I need an international sim card to use my phone (AT&T). If so, what will be the costs of calling/texting within Costa Rica (i.e. to others with me who are also using international sim cards) and back to the continental US?
My current plan includes unlimited texting. Will I be charged extra if I text in Costa Rica?
Also, what is the purpose of an international sim card? Will it nullify these charges? Will it reduce them?
Pete answers:
You don’t need an international SIM to work in Costa Rica. You will be able to connect to their cellular network towers, but they’ll know you are an AT&T user and charge you for each text, MB used and calling minutes.
On the AT&T site the charges for each text message is $0.50, and $2.89 per minute when calling. It is pretty pricey!

Trying to find an International SIM card with unlimited free incoming and outgoing SMS?
I am traveling to Italy this summer and I would like to send SMS back home to friends and the girlfriend.Is there any international providers that include free SMS Outgoing/Incoming? Most charge 0.4 Euros per msg out but free coming in.
I know that they will be making something else more expensive to compensate for the free outgoing SMS but that’s fine!

Orange camel package?
Calls and Texts are all cheap but neither is free.
