how is reception from Costa Rica... does reception require wireless internet ?

No wireless internet needed. MY husband has his for use in our barn he built, absolutely excellent reception......... I would imagine you would get great reception because the satellite sends air waves to earth and what a beautiful place for it to miss, would be Costa Rica .......... Good luck......

I have a Stiletto 2 working fine in my home in Tegucigalp with a professional antena ( high gain)a, it does not work in the car. For the car better buy a less expensive radio works better. Costa Rica is in the fringe of Sisius satelite footprint. If you dont work with antenas better get the application for the Iphone.

I have this radio but I now have one in my car. The radio works off of a SiriusXM Satellite. What I like about this radio is that you can record songs on it and play them later. No internet is needed. You will have to have a subscription to Sirius. Hope this helps. I would call Sirius to see if it will work in Costa Rica.--Judi

I am attempting to answer as best as possible. Didn't want to say I don't know as my answer hopefully will give you a further lead to follow. Based on the specifications of the phone, i.e. 850 MHz and GSM it should in all likelihood perform without any problems of connection.From looking at the map of South America it appears that you are capable of 3G coverage. And a bonus will be that if the phone is unlocked and you need to travel to other countries you can always purchase a Sim Card to use as a local phone network service. Many benefits. I hope this will help you in your decision making process. I am attempting to answer as best as possible.

Yo no recomiendo este teléfono. En Costa Rica funciono bien en GSM por 3 meses y luego falló la tarjeta madre. Conozco otros casos similares!

I bought this phone in the states and brought it in Italy. I've never had a problem with reception out there. Back in the U.S., I live far away from a cell tower and still receive good reception.

We used it while in Jamaica last month and didn't have a problem. The resort we stayed at had wifi and we were able to connect without issues.

I don´t know if you can use it in Uruguay, but in Costa Rica works very good, and we are using GSM sim-card, so I think could be equal or maybe better.No sé si se puede utilizar en Uruguay, pero en Costa Rica funciona muy bien, y usamos GSM sim-card, así que creo que podría ser igual o tal vez mejor

Yes. In fact, I am currently using it outside of US and the reception is very good.

No antenna is required but being near to your wireless router should help. Hopefully there are not a lot of obstructions and especially no steel walls in the way.

Hello Jonathan, I bought this phone (HTC One X with Beats Audio), it is a great phone and it works fine in Costa Rica with Kolbi (from ICE), just some minor issues like Tethering and Portable Hot Spot not working well, but things like these solve installing a custom ROM or there might be a workaround. Regards.

Maybe because it is a 3G unit but I am not sure if that is the problem or not. I use mine in Costa Rica on a 3G network and it works fine.

Absolutely! We live in rather remote area and have no problems at all with reception. We also love to travel and have had great luck with reception where ever we go.
