Puerto Rico is one of the major tourist destinations in the Caribbean and hence, it boasts of great internet connectivity. However, the uninhabited and scarcely populated regions in this unincorporated territory of the United States lack commendable internet and phone services.
Though most of the hotels and resorts in Puerto Rico provide free Wi-Fi services, it is always better to get a prepaid SIM card. This way you would be able to connect to the internet and call your acquaintances while on the go.
Upon landing, you can buy a local prepaid SIM card at the airport. The best mobile network operators in Puerto Rico are as follows:
AT&T
Claro

T-Mobile
In the country, a prepaid SIM Card with a 30-day 10-GB data plan would not cost you more than $30.
