Cuba / Telephone
The IDD telephone code for Cuba is +53. The outgoing code is 119 followed by the relevant country code (eg 11944 for the United Kingdom).
Public telephones are widely available for domestic as well as international calls, but they are often out of order and international calls are expensive. Pre-paid phone cards are available. Internet cafes are located in the main towns and cities.
Roaming agreements exist with most international mobile phone companies, but not with those from the United States. Cell phones are available for rent and the mobile network is often more reliable than landlines, though coverage is far from perfect.
