FAQ's

Below are some common questions from our customers.

I am charged a $400 deposit. What is this for and when will I receive a credit?

This deposit is for the equipment and service. The deposit will be credited when the equipment is received in good working condition and 2 months of carrier bills are available. This take a minimum of 60 days and our rental agreement provides up to 90 days for final invoicing. You final invoice will be netted against your deposit with any additional charges or credits posted to the credit card provided.

Is it possible for me to receive the phone number in advance so that I may forward calls from another number to the phone?

Yes. We provide you the Costa Rican phone number via email the day we reserve the phone so you may forward calls from landlines, other cell phones, even international phones (if allowed by your carrier).

Am I charged more for incoming calls even from another country?

You are charged the same rate for incoming and outgoing calls regardless of where the calls originate. If you forward calls from outside the US to the phone, RentaCel will bill you for any long distance, and for the wireless minutes at your selected airtime rate.

What are per minute rates?

Rates vary from $.70 a minute to $2.10 a minute depending on the plan you choose from our on-line order form. Rates are for incoming calls from anywhere and outgoing to anywhere in the Costa Rica. This is different than the standard overseas where the caller pays extra to call cell phones and the cell phone holder pay little or nothing to receive calls. Phone may be used anywhere in the Costa Rica (where there is coverage) with no additional roaming fees. Our phones have the best coverage available with good digital coverage in large cities and service in most rural areas.

Can I make international calls on the phone?

Yes. RentaCel can provide a phone with international calling enabled. Our Basic International is a prepaid service with a default $25 loaded on the phone.

Is voicemail included?

No, you are not provided voicemail.
