ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

CELL PHONES - The Best Place•Where to UNLOCK • JAILBREAK • REPAIR • ACCESSORIES • PURCHASE your Cellular Phone (including iPhones) = DOCTOR CELULAR - Escazu, Costa Rica


(entrance is around the back right side)

DOCTOR CELULAR All Brand

(note - if they are with customers, they may not answer the phone so just keep trying] • Dr.CompuCel@hotmail.com )

A VIC's FAV!!!
Owner Enrique "Kike" and his wife Cynthia

DOCTOR CELULAR does everything from selling new and reconditioned cell phones (my FAV [and one of the cheapest] is a more basic phone that has a DUAL SIM card holder [great if you live/travel to an area where say ICE sucks but MoviStar is strong like Escazu a bit south of the park - that way you don't have to walk around with 2 cells and it was only $56.  And for $10 more you can get one with a camera in it.  It also has a radio]), UNLOCKING and JAILBREAK cell phones (iPhones, BlackBerry's on down), Pre-Paid Cell Cards (ICE/Kolbi, MoviStar, Claro).  

Plus they have LOTS of cell ACCESSORIES (this is where I got my little Universal Battery Charger gizmo that works to charge my digital camera and cell phone and other batteries - for like 4,000-colones/$8ish.  I had a friend go to Radio Shack and they wanted $40 for some fancy schmancy thing that worked the same way.
(this is a Universal Charger but that goes into your cars cigarette lighter so your cell or camera battery won't go dead again - just 4,000-colones!)

(this gizmo attaches to your cigarette lighter and acts like a BlueTooth or hands-free intercom thingie and is just 15,000-colones.  Only a few left)

Cell phones are constantly changing but typically start at ULTRA BASIC around 10,000-colons/$20 to under $200.



He's AWESOME at Repairing and Fixing Cell Phones and
UnLocking and Jail-Break (including iPhones 4S+ ) and Flashing of all brands of cell phones.

Dr. Cellular is who I turned to out of desperation when I killed my iPhone by attempting to upload the latest version of the software and even the Apple Rep (who I spent $29 to ask this question of) said was irreparable (do NOT NOT NOT upload the latest software for cell phones that are unlocked or jailbroken or you'll HAVE to Unlock/Jailbreak it AGAIN - spend another 20,000+ AND loose all your stuff!!!!!!!!).   


Kike speaks GOOD ENGLISH!!!

And they give EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE on a level I'm used to!!!


PLEASE tell them VICKI CONNECTED you
(and sends them a HUG!!!)


Doctor Celular also does COMPUTER REPAIRS (PC's).

If you're coming from the South side (up the hill) of Escazu they're 300 mts north of Banco Nacional.
