T-Mobile’s prepaid arm, MetroPCS, reaches out across the sea to add Cuba to its World Calling plan. For $10 a month, customers can place unlimited calls to land lines in more than 75 countries, and unlimited texts to most countries.
For Cuba specifically, MetroPCS subscribers get 20 minutes of monthly calling time to landlines and mobile phones. The bundle also includes 200 minutes to mobile phones in select countries.
Boost Mobile, a prepaid subsidiary of Sprint, already offers discounted calls to Cuba. Subscribers can make calls for as low as 70 cents per minute with a Todo Mexico Plus or International Connect plan.
