'Puerto Rico Telephone' ('PRT'), is the largest Puerto Rican telecommunications services company. It is headquartered in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and has operated for almost a century offering voice, data, long distance, broadband, directory publishing and wireless services for the island residents and businesses. It was a public corporation for many years until the majority stakes were acquiered by GTE in the mid-1990s. It was a subsidairy of Verizon Communications, due to GTE's involvement in the creation of new telecommunications giant Verizon.
On April 3, 2006 Verizon Communications announced it had agreed to sell its stakes in Puerto Rico Telephone and their sole ownership of the main Dominican telephone company Verizon Dominicana, now Claro-CODETEL to América Móvil of Mexico.^{[1] [2]}
