T-Mobile Prepares for Hurricane Fiona
Hurricane Fiona strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane as it moved away from Puerto Rico, although localized flash and urban flooding is still possible. Recovery efforts are underway.
In the USVI, retail stores are open regular hours and there is no impact to our network.
Network Update
T-Mobile’s network continues to hold up well in Puerto Rico, with many sites operational. Teams and recovery assets are working to restore impacted areas as conditions allow, focusing on the most impacted locations. Flooding, lack of road access and the continued power outage will impact speed of restoration.
Store Update
In Puerto Rico, stores are beginning to open to serve customers, and additional stores will open as conditions allow. Hours may change, and to find an open store near you, go to: t-mobile.com/stores/locator.
If you need any support or have questions about your account or service, you can also dial 611 or 1-800-937-8997 from your handset.
Community Support
T-Mobile’s Community Support team is working with the local community and nonprofit partners to provide assistance to the community.
If you are in an area that could be affected, please follow any evacuation orders issued by local authorities and do your best to keep safe.
In the meantime, we encourage customers to take the following steps to prepare for Hurricane Fiona.
