Ticos set a new record for text messages on Christmas Eve, probably due to the 153,000 new users that have purchased new lines in December. The previous record was 11 million messages, during a soccer match between Alajuela and Saprissa. On a normal day 8 - 9 million messages are sent.

Since ICE charges a rate of 1.5 colones per message sent to an email address or to another phone, the new record generated a Christmas bonus of 21 million Colones for the ICE.
