I'm sure the shop attendants can help him with the technical issues like inserting the SIM into the phone or activating a package or plan. This always depends on you who speak to and his/here enthusiasm. The bigger problem is language. Costa Rica is a Spanish-speaking country and you hardly find English speaking people outside the tourist industry or economical elite.

So it's not so easy in everyday situations (like a cell phone store) to communicate without at least basic Spanish language skills.
