The process is simple. Customers using a World Device who are traveling to Cuba can opt-in to add the Pay-As-You-Go International Travel option. While in Cuba, voice calls are $2.99 per minute, data is $2.05 per megabyte and standard international messaging rates apply. This allows customers the ability to stay connected while in Cuba.»
Purchasing a cellphone line in Cuba remains the best option for travelers at about 60 cents CUC per minute for local calls and 1.10 CUC for international.
