Santiago de Cuba Mobile phone network coverage is excellent these days. Some areas of Santiago de Cuba may offer reduced coverage but overall it’s good.

Staying connected in Cuba at a better rate will mean obtaining a Cuba SIM Card throughout your stay. Using cell phones in Cuba and Santiago de Cuba is then much like anywhere else in the world where you can purchase Cubacel prepaid SIM card and use this anywhere in Cuba. You can purchase these prepaid Cuba SIM cards at the offices below and also recharge the phone with credit at these locations.
