Puerto Rico’s wireless telecommunications service is at 33 percent capacity, as carriers continue working 24/7 to restore the island’s connections to the world as soon as possible, executives said.
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.
Wireless carrier T-Mobile on Monday unveiled “DIGITS,” a new technology that breaks down the limitation of one number per phone and one phone per number. T-Mobile customer’s phone numbers will be upgraded to DIGITS for free — and customers can get another DIGITS line for $10 a month with AutoPay, company officials said.
