Just a quick note since I posted on Cuba this morning.  One of my primary concerns in going now was whether my cell phone would work.  I heard that Verizon was in the process of signing a roaming agreement for Cuba.  I’ve now been handed information confirming that.

Verizon Wireless In Cuba

Calls will only cost you $2.99/minute.  It’ll cost you 50 cents to send a text and 5 cents to receive one.  “Data” is $2.05/mb.  The network on the island is labeled as “2G”, which as far as I know, was never really a thing in the US.  But, it’s akin to the old “1x” that long-time Verizon users may recall.  So, really slow.

You’ve been warned.

But, hey, it appears my cell phone will work!

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
