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

Does anybody know if you do a forward to a different cell on the cingular network, does that get pulled from your minutes or are those mobile to mobile minutes?

USVI have the same problem.

and we do pay tax, and all that.
To tell you that i bought a Motorola SLVR the day, they came out without any problems..this is obviously an apple restriction.

But you don't pay federal income tax, right?

At the risk of sounding rude, what does this have to do with the poster's point?

how do you forward your local att phone number to the iphone?

Also, how do you purposely fail the credit check? by putting an invalid social security number?

I tried the 787, was unable. The PR under State, was not found. Sorry. Either create a US number account or wait.

Apple will not make a company decision based on the number of posts on a discussion board. Have you asked AT&T why those area codes are not allowed?
