Technical info on Costa Rica phone numbers

Costa Rica phone numbers have a unique format that consists of 8 digits, with no area or city codes. The first digit of the phone number indicates the type of service, with numbers starting with 2 representing landlines and those starting with 8 or 9 representing mobile phones. The second digit indicates the geographic area of the service provider.

The remaining digits are assigned to the subscriber's phone number. It's worth noting that when making a call to Costa Rica from abroad, the country code +506 must be dialed before the 8-digit phone number. Costa Rica's telecommunications industry is regulated by the Superintendency of Telecommunications (SUTEL), which oversees the allocation and management of phone numbers in the country.
