What is the country code for Costa Rica?
Costa Rica's code is +506, and what follows it is refreshingly free of fine print. There are no area codes and no trunk-prefix 0 to remember — every number is exactly eight digits, dialed identically whether you're in San José or on the Caribbean coast. Add +506, dial the eight digits, done.
Kode +506 ditugaskan ke Costa Rica oleh ITU berdasarkan rencana E.164. Itu “+” berarti “tekan kode keluar internasional lokal Anda”; di ponsel, tekan dan tahan 0 untuk mengetiknya.
Keempatnya memiliki arti yang sama — mereka menghubungkan panggilan Anda Costa Rica.

Costa Rica phone number format explained
When Costa Rica moved to eight digits in the 2008 renumbering, it folded all the meaning into the very first digit. That opening digit, not any area code, tells you whether you're calling a landline or a mobile — geography simply doesn't enter into it.
Telepon rumah
Landlines open with 2, then seven more digits. Format example: 2222 3333 → +506 2222 3333. Toll-free lines open with 800.
Seluler
Mobiles open with 6, 7 or 8, then seven more digits. Format example: 8888 7777 → +506 8888 7777. Numbers are portable between carriers.

Costa Rica mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +506 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

Costa Rica time zone
Costa Rica keeps things steady here too: Central Standard Time (CST), UTC-6, every day of the year. With no daylight saving to chase, the offset you set never drifts — handy, since the country shares its clock with the US Central time zone all year round.
Because San José tracks US Central time, callers in Chicago or Dallas enjoy a near-perfect overlap with the Costa Rican working day. UK and European callers reach the Costa Rican morning by ringing in their late afternoon. Offices keep 08:00–17:00 CST.

Misreading the line type: The first digit is your tell
2 for landlines, 6, 7 or 8 for mobiles.
