Sprint Puerto Rico

Sprint Puerto Rico is a telecommunications company operating in Puerto Rico, formed through a merger between Sprint and Open Mobile. Open Mobile, initially established on June 12, 2007, as a relaunch of NewComm Wireless Services, was acquired by M/C Partners and Columbia Capital after the latter's bankruptcy. The merger with Sprint was announced on February 23, 2017, with the transaction subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission and other regulatory bodies. Approval was granted in September 2017, with Sprint becoming the majority shareholder. As a result of Sprint's subsequent merger with T-Mobile, Open Mobile customers were transferred to T-Mobile.
