If you live in the United States and know someone in Costa Rica, you may enjoy a telephone chat from time to time. Because it is a foreign country, you are going to be charged an international calling rate, which varies depending on your service provider and the length of time of your call. You should verify the amount that it will cost prior to initiating your conversation. Otherwise, dialing a phone number to Costa Rica is just like calling anywhere in the States, except that there are a few extra numbers.
Dial "011." This is the exit code needed for all calls leaving the United States.
Press "506." This is the country code for Costa Rica.
Dial the remaining eight digits of the phone number that you are calling. If it's a land line the first digit is "2." A cell phone will start with "8."
