ATLANTA, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Great news for Cubans living outside their mother country: HablaCuba.com launches Cuba 50, a monthly plan that offers more affordable rates for international calls to Cuba. Also this week, HablaCuba.com hosts a new Cubacel promo, offering extra minutes, SMS and CUC on international top ups sent to Cuba
Lower rates for international calls to Cuba
With the new plan, instead of 69.9 ¢/min, the regular rate for calling Cuba, the Cuban expats can now pay only 59.9 ¢/min, when choosing the monthly plan Cuba 50. This means $29.95/month for 50 calling minutes. When thinking that calls to Mexico, for instance, are usually included in the plans the wireless carriers offer, this is still very much. So, why are calls to Cuba so expensive?
The main reason seems to be the turbulent US-Cuba diplomatic relationships, which influenced the telecommunications, too. Because of the embargo, calls to Cuba have to be routed through third-parties, like Canada or Mexico, which incurs on extra fees. Also because of the embargo, Cuban telecoms have to buy their technology from other countries instead of the U.S., which is more expensive.
With HablaCuba.com, customers can place their calls:
From any landline, mobile or even payphone in the world, through access numbers.
Through the smartphone app called KeepCalling, available for iOS and Android.
