Calling Costa Rica - modification contained by numbering and won't walk through?
I get a record message that numbering in costa rica have changed so the standard 011 506 isn't working. Nor is +506.
Anyone know why?
Answers: yes I'm from here. Costa Rican telephone users rate grew so near were not satisfactory numbers, so they converted the numbers from a six digit to a seven digit number.
The only item that you have to do is put an extra 2 >(if it a house number or commercial number) BEFORE the number or an extra 8 (if its a cell phone)
So it's resembling this:
506+2+number
or
506+8+number
Hope it helps!!
Calling from anywhere should be
00
506
followed by the costa rican 8 (not 7 digit number).
For a cell number (a number that started near a 3 or 8 before you inevitability to add another 8 at the beginning)
For a regular landline (all other numbers you inevitability to add a 2 beforehand it)
Example
00-506-8-888-0000
instead of
00-506-888-0000
