Sprint Corp customers can add Sprint Cuba 20 Plus to their local rate plan and get 20 voice call minutes to any phone line in Cuba for $10 per month. In case a customer uses up the allocated 20 minutes, they will be charged 70 cents per minute for every additional minute consumed.

Sprint’s senior vice president of marketing, Tom Roberts, remarked that the affordable international calling plans are a significant feature. He stated: “Sprint is the first national carrier to offer an affordable calling option to Cuba. We are continuing to expand our international offers for customers traveling abroad or while calling or texting from the US.”
