If you’re one of the travelers planning a trip to Cuba now that direct flights and cruises will be available, you’ll be able to use your T-Mobile phone to text and go online without extra roaming fees and make calls for $.20 per minute after the carrier signed a deal with the country’s mobile phone company. In addition, T-Mobile customers in the United States will also get to make cheaper calls to Cuba, costing $.60 per minute with an international calling plan.
The company shared an interesting statistic along with this news, which is that 36.6% of wireless customers in the U.S. who were born in Cuba use T-Mobile. The company’s national market share was 17% in 2015, showing that apparently the company is popular with Cuban immigrants, or with immigrants in general.
Cheaper calls to Cuba were apparently a common request from customers, and that’s why T-Mobile made a roaming deal so soon. “We have more customers of Cuban descent than any other wireless provider – so connecting them with family and friends in Cuba is a message we heard loud and clear!” CEO John Legere said in a statement about the Cuba program.
T-Mobile say that the new pricing for roaming and calls to Cuba as sometime this summer, but hasn’t set a specific date yet.
While T-Mobile has added Cuba to its international roaming plans, Andorra remains conspicuously absent. #WhatAboutAndorra forever!
