    My husband and I are needing to replace our old cell phones with new Smart Phones before we relocate in CR in October. I know that we will need to purchase our Unlocked, GSM phones so that we can bring them with us but I need to find out if we need 3G or 4G phones for Costa Rica. Which is supported?

    Hi Carol,

    Great question. And sounds like you’ve done a lot of good research already. First, it’s a good idea to get a quad band phone to be sure it can be used in Costa Rica.

    As far as 3G or 4G, the 3G network is found throughout the country. 4G is being installed now but is not widespread yet. From my understanding, a 4G phone will switch to 3G if 4G is not available in a certain area. So I think you’re good to go with either type but you might get a 4G so you can take advantage of the higher speed network when it’s available.
