Five years after buying it, the Costa Rican state-owned electric company Racsa decided to close Fullmovil, a virtual operator dedicated to the commercialization of prepaid telephony services.

In February 2014, the Superintendence of Telecommunications announced that Radiográfica Costarricense - already in serious financial difficulties - acquired Fullmóvil, a virtual operator involved in the sale of paid telephony services.

According to Racsa, because of a reorganization of the business, the Fullmobile service will cease to operate on April 1 of this year. Nacion.com explains that "... The exit supposes the suspension of the commercialization of the prepaid service, including the activation of lines, the sale of recharge cards and electronic recharges."
