How to make my NOKIA 1207 Indian phone work in Costa Rica?

It gets 1800GSM. I checked. It uses a SIM card. Is this a no brainer? And do you know how easy it is to get a SIM card in Costa Rica. And how much do you think a cheap card costs?

Do not expect to get a International SIM card (what you would need to use your phone) soon. Also you would take a gamble, providing ICE - Costa Rica cell phone monopoly, will have one for your type of phone.

The 3-4 month delay, you can bet that will be extended to a year if not more. ICE is not the most productive company in CR and they already have massive problems putting in the Pacific Cable (that was to be installed 3-4 years ago).

Your best bet is to rent a phone. Costs are fairly reasonable and you will not have the hassles. And as Yellowstone said, "You have to be a resident or citizen to get a cell phone," and that will probably never change.

You could contact ICE(cell phone company in CR) and check. You can also visit grupoice.com and check cell phone comparability.

Costa Rica has a government cell phone monopoly and they are just in the process of developing a SIM card, prepaid phone card system.

There have been delays and according to last week's newspaper, it was going to be delayed for 3-4 months. However, that does not guarantee that t you could get a card.

Right now you have to be a resident or citizen to get a cell phone-- I don't know if that will change.

In Costa Rica the cell and telephone services are a state monopoly, tht is about to change soon thanks to the TLC = CAFTA
However either way cell phones with a SIM card can be connected by just inserting the card in the phone.
You will have to get a phone line in your name if you are a resident or for a corporation known as an S.A. (Sociedad AnĂ³nima) which is very common and beneficial to have in Costa Rica.
SIM cards are not sold yet in Costa Rica so you have to get a phone line.
