kruisin' kim Posted March 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2008 When I was in St. Thomas last year, we were able to use our cell phones. Does this stand true for San Juan also, since it is U.S. territory? Thanks for your replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host CJSKIDS Posted March 6, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I know that both Sprint and AT&T work just like they do here in the states, no roaming charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnsail Posted March 9, 2008 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Verizon use there required us to get international service agreement for our phones prior to traveling to San Juan.... No biggy, took us about 5 minutes to do this at home..... Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helo driver Posted March 9, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have Alltel (National Freedom) and as I read their Web site, looks like I should be good in San Juan with no additional charges, anyone have any experience using Alltel in San Juan? Also shipboard, $2.49 per minute plus .50 (not sure per call or minute), anyone actually used this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your replies.[/quote'] ATT did work fine there, just make sure you have your normal ATT logo on your phone, not something at sea... Once you are within a few miles of the coast the phones should start to work, but just be careful before you make a call that you are with your true service provider. Also another note if you plan on making any calls with your phone on the ship be sure to get international calling turned on, my phone had it turned off and I had to get it turned on prior to leaving in order to make calls from the ship.

We have verizon and used it everyday and it was treated as a local call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforestgirl Posted March 24, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 24, 2008 You will not have reception problems- I think people here are born with cellphones in their hands! But you should call your company and make sure PR is included in your plan. It usually is, but it is better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanna Posted March 25, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have Tmobile and it works fine in PR. No roaming charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetocruise99 Posted March 25, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 25, 2008 My cheap little $19 Tracfone worked perfect in San Juan and St Thomas. The minutes are prepaid so there isn't any surprises on the bill when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncella_12 Posted March 30, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You will not have problems or roaming charges when using your cell phone in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is U.S. Common Wealth and you will not be charged international prices. If you use T-mobile your phone will show under a different antenna name because T-mobile is not used in PR. But this does not mean you are roaming, nor will you get charged for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
