MPS Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 AT&T has a deal but no package is being offered to the public. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSaxmanWhen I called AT&T they told me my phone would work and they gave me a list of rates. I have a cel line in Cuba so I didn't pay such close attention to the rates because they were higher than what it would cost me with Cubacel.

Habana Mike Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just set up my service in Cuba with Verizon. $2.99/minute for calls, $0.50 outgoing and $0.05 incoming texts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethernut Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 I was close to getting one of those Estonian Sims. When I read the fine print that outgoing texts were .85/text and not .15/text. Pretty much sent me right back to ATT which is similar to yours @Habana Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLC Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Until this summer for $10 a day I could use my phone in Cuba the same way I do at home; all the talk text and data my plan allowed which is basically unlimited. Now for Cuba it is pay per use at $2.50 per minute, .75 text sent, .25 text received but the killer is $1.50 per MB on data. Will try to avoid using any data and keeping it to text messages.

Bohn007 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 How available is WiFi? With AT&T, as long as you are connected to WiFi, the calls are free, I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifi is about as available as it was back in the early 2000's. only in a few places, about $6/hr and about 56k of bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethernut Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Looks like I didn't revisit this after my trip. Quick and dirty. AT&T worked fine, of course you're on Cubacel while there. Texts and minutes are disproportionately expensive, but hey, you're doing your part to support the government. Everywhere we had connectivity texts and calls worked just fine. I think as I recall I ended up spending around $100 more on my bill for my texts and calls from Cuba. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious how well things are working As I recall, Verizon had agreements in place in Cuba before AT&T. Youre good to go but fees are steep no matter which carrier we use from the US. I would call them and ensure youre set up for roaming there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecrowder Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Had both AT&T and Verizon there last week. ATT worked perfect. Couldn't get my Verizon phone to ever get a signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyO Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 With the Cubacel service incoming texts, emails and calls are free. The person making the call pays for it. Although you have to get set up for email. Calls under 6 seconds used to be free, don't know if that is true anymore. If someone calls you from a Cuban cell phone with a "99" before and after the phone number (on your screen), you are paying for the call if you answer.

Mike, How did this work for you last year? I went without a phone last year, which was ok, but won't cut it for this years trip. I would prefer to use my existing phone, rather than getting a Cuban one, but if it doesnt work very well I have no problem getting a temp number through cubacel.
