Talking on the phone
What do I have to do to use my phone in Puerto Rico?

*** Add links to Verizon, etc cell phone plans ***
Probably nothing except to double check your cell phone plan to make sure it covers Puerto Rico automatically!
Almost all U.S. cell phone plans (including AT&T) cover it, because Puerto Rico is considered part of the domestic coverage area, meaning you won't incur roaming charges for calls, texts, or data! As a result, you probably do NOT need to sign up for an international plan.
(Puerto Rico is part of the United States. It is not a state, but a U.S. territory, which evidently counts in establishing cell phone coverage areas!)
In Puerto Rico, there is a wide-area 4G LTE network and a more limited 5G network. In remote areas of the Island, cellular service and data coverage can be spotty, so plan accordingly.
