Question Regarding coverage in Puerto Rico
- Thread starter Slntagent
- Start date
lol im still drinking but...i use my phone to communicate with family i have all over the island...so having a unreliable conn sucks
Puerto Rico 3G coverage
Got off cruise ship and headed east toward town. Continued along waterfront and in front of PR Tourism Bldg was a sign for wi fi hotspot. Took a little while but was able to catch up on emails etc. Also tried in St Thomas at a similarly noted wi fi spot but that didn't work.

Same report here. I just got back from PR last night(with egg on my face).
My wife recently went back to her iphone while I stayed with vzw. It WAS a running joke about her at&t coverage compared to vzw.......well, until we landed in PR that is. My droid turned into a paperweight
other than for making calls, while her iphone had all bars and data. She was smiling from ear to ear everytime we had to use her phone for data. Uggh!!! From what I was told from vzw customer service is that I needed to activate something a week prior to the trip to piggy back on a data service and it would cost me .69 per minute! Yike's! I ended up limping along using the wi-fi at the hotel and other places. Lastly, that was the nail in the coffin for her about not considering coming back to Verizon.

Sorry that you were unable to get data coverage on your visit to Puerto Rico. I have been living in San Juan, Puerto Rico for about a year now, and data definitely does not work here on Verizon. It is really quite a shame considering AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint all have a working data connection.
The majority of the time my phone displays "extended network." I can't even send an MMS picture message. Every once in a while my phone will kick into "roaming" and I can send pics and use data, but that doesn't happen very often.
I have been dying to get a Droid, but will be unable to until I move back to the states. I am really disappointed in the Verizon service down here, considering there are so many of their customers that travel here from the States. I am stuck with a dumb-phone unless I switch carriers.
