What each type means for the caller
- Toll-free: 800
- Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 10 digits after +506.
- Premium rate: 900, 905 or 909
- Charged above a normal call at a rate set by the service, with part of the charge going to the service provider. 10 digits after +506.
- VoIP: 2100–2106, 4 or 5100
- Numbers issued for internet telephony services rather than a fixed line or a mobile network. 8 digits after +506.
Writing and dialling a Costa Rica toll-free number
Costa Rica has no trunk prefix, so the number is the same at home and abroad; in E.164 put +506 in front: 800-123-4567 becomes +5068001234567. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Costa Rica, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.
Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list
In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Costa Rica phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

- Ranges, lengths and examples: Google libphonenumber numbering-plan data (libphonenumber-js 1.13.15), the data our validator uses.
- Official plan: ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan for Costa Rica. The regulator’s filing is the authority when the two disagree.
The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.
In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
