In case you don't want to search... AT & T has decent service on the island but it is much stronger over towards the Zoni Beach side of the island in my experience. Ditto for 3G data service... You're lucky to get even Edge in town or on Flamenco (with an iPhone at least) but over on Zoni Beach you get 5 beautiful bars worth of 3G service!

I add the caveat that the only reason I cared about this on my recent visit was to post jealousy photos on Facebook. All winter long people Facebooked pictures from their cruises or vacations... So when my time came I felt very happy shooting amazing photos using my iPhone. 3G service was very handy in making people wish they were on Culebra with me!

Nothing like exacting revenge on the folks at home while on the most beautiful island in the world. :-)

hi
why do you worry this?
why not get a quad band phone, so that you can roam globally?

All the best,

Just got back and can report that there is no AT&T service in the Flamenco Beach area. If you have an iPhone, there is occasional WiFi service I think they only turn it on on the weekends maybe (?). Rest of the island is mostly good cell coverage for AT&T.

Good afternoon,

AT & T actually works really well here (we have AT & T cells) on most of the island. There are a couple of dead spots on the road TO Flamenco & over by Tamarindo, but out on the beach at Flamenco the service works fine.

Anyone have any info on SPRINT service there? I was able to use it on Vieques last year...

I had trouble with my Sprint on Zoni. If I pointed it toward St. Thomas and stood very still I got a choppy signal.

Good afternoon,
There are Sprint & AT & T stores in Fajardo. As such, they are popular options for local residents. There are some places on the island where reception may be a bit spotty, but generally they work well.

AT&T 3G service on iPhone works great for me.

Happy Diving!
