On July 25, 1898, during the Spanish-American war, Puerto Rico was invaded by the United States with a landing at Guánica.

As an outcome of the war, Spain ceded Puerto Rico, along with Cuba, the Philippines, and Guam to the U.S. under the Treaty of Paris.

Puerto Rico is part of the North American Numbering Plan, telephone country code +1, along with the USA, Canada, and various islands. Puerto Rico uses telephone area codes +1 787 and +1 939 in an area code overlay.Calls from the US mainland to Puerto Rico are dialed "one plus," and are considered domestic calls, but may or may not be included in "nationwide" calling plans.(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign.
