HAVANA, Cuba, Jun 16 (acn) In a bid to reach out to a promising market, Sprint and T-Mobile, two major US wireless carriers, have announced new initiatives to allow US customers connect with relatives and friends in Cuba.
An article on the bidnessetc.com explains that customers of Sprint Corp can add the so-called and new Sprint Cuba 20 plus service to their local rate plan and use 20 voice call minutes to any line on the island for 10 dollars a month. If customers use up the total 20 minutes they will be charge 70 cents a minute for every additional minute.
Sprint is the first national carrier to offer an affordable calling option to Cuba, said Sprint´s senior marketing vice-president Tom Roberts as cited by bidnessetc.com.
But, in a Twitter message, John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile US Inc announced that his company´s prepaid brand MetroPCS will launch a plan for customers in the U.S. to enjoy 20 minutes of voice to call persons in Cuba; a similar plan to that of Sprint, which charges 10 dollars a month too.
Sprint´s subsidiary Boost Mobile also released a plan in April, called the Cuba Monthly Connect plan at a cost of 50 dollars a month for unlimited text messaging and 15 minutes of talk to Cuba.
After the historic announcement by Havana and Washington to reestablish diplomatic relations and work towards the normalization of links, there have been several initiatives by American companies in the areas of telecommunications, transportation and business to sort of take a first step and with it be ahead in taking advantage of the Cuban market.
