Some practical information here:
Problems phoning Costa Rica? Telephone numbers in Costa Rica changed this year from seven to eight digits. Many websites have not been updated yet.
If you are trying to call Costa Rica directly, first dial the access code and area codes: 011 506, then add a 2 to any number that begins with 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9 (land lines).
Add an 8 before any number that begins with a 3 or an 8 (cell phones).
Examples: if a number in your guidebook or on a website is 645-5223, you would dial 011 506 2645-5223.
If a number is 397-3489, you would dial 8397-3489.
Excellent free Costa Rica map: When you buy the current edition of The New Key to Costa Rica at mapcr.com you get a free copy of their excellent waterproof map! This is the most complete and accurate Costa Rica map we have found. It shows roads to out-of-the-way places, and enlarged street maps for popular destinations like San José, Escazú, Alajuela, Heredia, the Central Valley, Monteverde and Santa Elena, Manuel Antonio and Quepos, Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Puerto Jiménez, Arenal Volcano and La Fortuna, with hotel, restaurant and activity locations in each place. Amazing! It was created by a pair of very savvy cartographers who first toured the country by bicycle on their honeymoon and have gone on to provide a map like no other.

This is great information that I have never been known to, most of the people would have found problem while calling to their relatives and friends but after knowing this they would have feel relaxed.
