The climate of Costa Rica varies from tropical near sea level to cooler temperatures near higher elevations. The area code of Costa Rica is +506. This code was introduced on 1 July 1998 when Costa Rica switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +506 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into Costa Rica from abroad. Check programingplease for Costa Rica in 2010.
