Useful addresses to prepare your trip Caraïbes

To phone internationally, buy 10 CUC phone cards at 20 CUC, and surf on the net for 1 CUC of the hour. Very convenient, you can use these cards (1 h or 5 h) at all ETECSA points in the country. The connections are pretty good but quickly saturated at peak times (12 h -3 p. m. and after 6 p. m.).

The WLAN operates only outside the ETECSA office, on the large square, on the main street and in the nearby streets within a radius of 80 m around. And the more you move away from the Wifi point of the office and the weaker the signal, of course. That's why you'll see everyone installed on the ETECSA desk just after the shutdown, the eyes riveted on their smartphone: They're still connected to the Internet! The advantage is that if you disconnect well from your Internet session, and you have a WLAN credit, you will be able to access wifi later, even if the office is closed.

It is also possible to connect for the same rate to computers on site or to purchase cards for national and international calls.

Good to know. There are many people who queue to buy WLAN cards and it is often long and exhausting because of the heat… Know that there is always a reseller in or beside the tail of WLAN cards plus 1 CUC plus, so an hour WLAN card is 2 CUC. It usually manifests itself by waving you and asking if you want to buy a WLAN card while you queue… It's worth buying one because it's a huge time gain and the cards work! There's no scam. It's just a way for Cubans to rave their ends for months by selling WLAN cards a little more expensive. It's illegal but tolerated, of course you will avoid making your purchases before a policeman…

Attention: operators tend to inflate the price of the Internet card when it is a tourist who buys it… To avoid the scam, ask for a receipt and the price will then miraculously fall!
