Sat Phones in Cuba
"Sat phones for use in Cuba" is the headline of an article published on a well known
website for expats and globetrotters.
The article recommend satphones with the statement: "Satellite phones provide coverage where
cell phone and landline service is unreliable, and outgoing calls cost as little as .85$ /min."
Don't Follow This Dangerous Information! Please, don't follow this recommendation unless you want to end in a Cuban prison. The import of satellite phones and GPS systems is forbidden by the Cuban customs unless you have a permit from the Cuban Ministry of Informatics and Communications. The official statement of the Cuban government is that satphones are a part of the secretU.S. cyberwar and are used to destabilize Cuba. According to an article in the Miami Herald, Cuban exiles smuggle most satphones intoCuba. So don't bring a satphone to Cuba, at best the sat phone is confiscated but a long prison sentence maybe part of the deal. Ask Allan Gross, a subcontractor forUSAID ( US agency for International Development). Allan Gross distributed satphones and other wireless communication equipment tothe Jewish community in Havana Cuba. He was officialy accused of spying and undermining the Cuban State and sentenced to 15 year in prison.
