AT&T confirmed Monday it is currently connecting more than 8 million calls and 4 million texts a day over its network in Puerto Rico, as it continues to work around the clock to restore its network, which also covers the U.S. Virgin Islands.
More than 7,250 people have signed up to a website wireless carrier AT&T has set up that allows anyone stateside (regardless of carrier) to register the cell phone number of a family member or friend who is an AT&T wireless customer in Puerto Rico.
Telecommunications provider AT&T announced Monday is donating another $1.4 million to hurricane relief, which includes a $1 million matching donation to Team Rubicon, $150,000 to Telecoms Sans Frontieres, a group that is working to reestablish connectivity for emergency responders and communities in the Caribbean, and $250,000 to local charities in states impacted by Irma.
