How to Call a Toll Free Number in Costa Rica


1. Dial 011, the international access code, to dial outside the United States.
2. Dial 506, the country code for Costa Rica.

How to Send Cute SMS


1. Don't think too hard about your SMS. The more you think about it, the more forced and less natural it will seem.
2. Keep it short and simple. You're not writing a long novel about what you've been up to today. You can tell your significant other more detail later. So a quick, cute SMS doesn't necessarily have to have a lot of substance.
3. Personalize it. Mention something specific about their day. Rather than 'hope work's going well,' you could write 'i hope the lab is treating you well' (if the recipient works in a lab).
4. Make them laugh. People respond better to things that stimulate their emotions, and laughter is one of the easier emotions to stimulate through a text.
5. Include a humorous quote or joke. Examples can be found in the Resources section below, but keep your ears peeled throughout the day in case someone tells you a joke that your texting partner may enjoy.
6. Send a picture. Most phones have cameras, and a picture of yourself makes for a very cute text. You could even combine a picture with the above steps by writing a cute note on a piece of paper, taking a picture of yourself holding it, then sending the whole thing to your partner.
