Find out the real price of the new international promotion for February from Itexa, the Cuban telecommunications company.

No, it’s not 75 Cuban pesos. None of the latest recharge offers announced by the only telecommunications company on the island are paid in Cuban pesos or can be purchased in the country, as we have reported in previous publications.

In recent days, Etecsa launched its own promotion for the entire month of February, which is an “international recharge that has everything”, as described on its own website.

“For only 75.00 CUP you get 14GB data (valid for all networks), 75 minutes and a bonus of 80 text messages,” he explains.

But, this price is not in Cubans’ national currency. Because The company itself clarified this later: “It can only be recharged through the sites of international distributors.” Therefore, top-ups are not accepted at MLC stores or from MiTransfer Wallet USD account.

“The price is what it costs abroad to purchase an international recharge that the user will receive in Cuba. Distributors define these prices taking into account the transactions and exchange rates in each country,” Atexa says.
