America’s Un-carrier lights up data, calling
and texting for customers travelling to Cuba
T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) today announced it’s lighting up Cuba
with calling, texting and data roaming for customers travelling to
the island nation. Thanks to an agreement inked earlier this year,
T-Mobile customers can now talk for $2.00 a minute, send text and
multimedia messages for $0.50 per message and receive them for
free, and use data for $2.00 per MB while roaming in Cuba. And, as
always with the Un-carrier, calling back to the U.S. is completely
free with Wi-Fi calling.
“The opening of Cuba has been historic—and we’re excited to do
our part to help people connect,” said John Legere, president and
CEO of T-Mobile. “Since we have more customers of Cuban descent
than any other wireless company, we’re incredibly happy to light up
Cuba today for all of our T-Mobile customers. Dale, vámonos a
Cuba!”
It’s no surprise Cuba has continually been one of the top
requested additions to T-Mobile’s international roaming on social
media. In the U.S., almost half (43.7%) of Cuban-born wireless
customers are with the Un-carrier and wireless customers in
Cuban-American hubs like Miami are consistently choosing T-Mobile
over AT&T or Verizon.
T-Mobile moved to respond to those customer requests—signing a
deal last spring with Empresa De Telecomunicaciones De Cuba, S.A.
(ETECSA), the Cuban telecommunications company.
Back in May, T-Mobile enabled calls from the U.S. to Cuba for
$0.60 per minute with its popular monthly “Stateside International
Talk” feature ($15 per month). And, now, Un-carrier customers can
stay connected while travelling in Cuba.
Today’s news is just one more reason the Un-carrier is the best
wireless provider for people with passports. Now, with the addition
of Cuba, T-Mobile customers can roam even more of the planet—most
of it at no extra charge. T-Mobile customers with qualifying plans
can use their phones in Mexico and Canada just like at home, and
they get free data and texting and low flat-rate calling in 140+
countries and destinations globally. For more information on
