No iPhone in Puerto Rico, US

Apparently, the iPhone can't be activated if the user lives in Puerto Rico (US). Area code 787 or 939.

Apple had a store in PR ~20 years ago. Right now there are no Apple stores here, although everyone else is here (CompUSA, Sony Store, Modernica ( http://modernicaonline.com/ ), Office Max, Radio Shack, ...).

iPhone not available in this stores, including corporate AT&T stores.

If someone from Puerto Rico is able to use or activate the iPhone let us know. Puerto Rico is included in AT&T's US coverage.

15" MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.8), 2GB RAM

Are suggesting that we should give it up and accept the second-class treatment? Not my style. I am a first-class customer. The Co. will take notice and MAYBE does something before originally planned. They DO read posts: Apple, please remove the non-sense block on 787 and 939 area codes.

BTW, in your last post you answered your own question. Consider marking it as answered/solved.

Technically yes, but it isn't part of the 50 states that make up the us. It may not yet be available yet.

Has anybody purchased it in the states, brought it back, and activated in Puerto Rico? Thanks for the info, Mario

d0csp33d:

If you use a US address, won't it change your Puerto Rico area code 787, to the area code in the US address you are using?

I assume this only works if you are already an AT&T customers. Porting a number from another carrier AND being in Puerto Rico sounds like a no-go....

I agree with you.
I will let you all know ASAP.

Just a confirmation; we are in AT&T's network. Go to https://www.wireless.att.com and enter our zip code (00926). Check plans with the 00926.

Don't take this issue out of contents... There is no prejudice against puertorricans here in any way.

Did you use 787? Did you use a US address?
