Verizon becomes first carrier to rip-off customers with pay-as-you-go roaming in Cuba
The US government officially opened an embassy in Cuba about a month ago, and Verizon plans on being the first wireless carrier to let customers roam on their network while in the previously isolated country. The only drawback is that you’re probably going to need to sell one of your kidneys and maybe an arm if you’re planning on actually taking advantage of Verizon’s exorbitant rates.
Verizon is offering pay-as-you-go rates at a completely unreasonable $2.99 per minute and $2.05 per megabyte. One hour of talking will cost you close to 200 bucks, and streaming any YouTube or Pandora might as well qualify as a second mortgage payment for that month.
So yes, Verizon is technically the first carrier that will keep you connected while traveling in Cuba. Just try not to max out a credit card paying for it.
