Why get a Costa Rica (+506) number

Across Central America, a local number signals that you are reachable and here to stay — which matters for sales, deliveries and after-sales support.

With a +506 number you can serve Costa Rican customers, suppliers and partners without opening an office in San José, and without asking anyone to pay for an international call.

Because it's a real number on the Costa Rica telephone network, it works for normal calls and text messages — including one-time passcodes and verification SMS from apps and websites.

What's included with every Costa Rica number

Unlimited inbound texts to your Costa Rica number
500 outbound SMS per month included
1,000 outbound calling minutes per month included

Works with WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, Telegram and more

Your Costa Rica number receives the one-time codes and verification calls sent by WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Telegram, Signal, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Gmail and thousands of other services, so you can register or recover a Costa Rica account from anywhere.

And you're covered: if an app you need doesn't accept your number, our 7-day replacement guarantee swaps it for a new number free — or you get a full refund if it hasn't been used.

Looking for a Costa Rica virtual number?

Most people searching for a Costa Rica virtual number want a +506 number they can use online, without a SIM card or a trip to Costa Rica. Smart Messaging gives you exactly that — but on a real number from the Costa Rica numbering plan, not an app-only line or a shared list.

You use it in your dashboard, in any SIP app or forwarded to your own phone, and it receives standard SMS and voice calls — which is why WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and Facebook verification codes arrive like on any mobile line. Read more: virtual number vs real mobile number.
