Varadero Forum: Rogers Cell Phones

 Rogers Cell Phones 

I know there have been previous posts on cell phones in Cuba and I have read them. I am not going to repeat any previous questions.

I am in the process of switching from Aliant to Rogers, but before I do I just want to make sure they work in Cuba. Rogers reps tell me that their phones work almost anywhere in the world, I just want to be sure. So if anyone from Atlantic Canada has been to Cuba and used their Rogers I would like to know if their cell phone worked ok or if they had any problems? I face the problem every year when I travel to the Caribbeean, my Aliant phone never works anywhere except at the airport sometimes. If a Rogers works down there it will be must easier in the future when travelling. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Rogers does have service in Cuba, HOWEVER, make sure that your phone is quad band capable.

Just to remember to check how much it costs before using it too much. The Rogers web site has the rates at $4.00 / minute to call back to Canada / US, $3.00 / minute to call within Cuba.

You cant bring cell phones to cuba, apperently my travel agent said they will be taken at customs in cuba, and it does say that on my paper when I booked my trip that cell phones will be taken

Hiya

Rogers and Fido have agreements with Cubacel ... I used mine in January calling within Cuba to arange meeting times with some friends and also to book my casa.

You will notice that the rogers service on the screen will change to CuC (Cuba Cel) ...

Can't remeber the costs but it was cheaper for me as I have the international plan for texting and calling...

They don't take your cell phone in Cuba, at least not in Varadero. Walkie talkies: however, they will, as we found out...
