T-Mobile Free Roaming: T-Mobile offers free roaming for customers visiting Cuba

Are you on T-Mobile or using their services temporarily? The latter also will benefit from this. T-Mobile has reportedly agreed a roaming deal with state-owned Cuban carrierEmpresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba SA (ETECSA) thereby letting visitors to the island nation and usevoice, text, and data services from this summer for no costs involved at all. Seems like an intriguing move right?

 Seems like after US president Obama flew to the nation for better relationships, everything off late are also turning to be beneficial for both the nations involved. The move follows after the Obama administration brought down travel and trade restrictions between the US and Cuba last year. Verizon and Sprint both made similar arrangements in the fall. Google is also looking into expanding internet access in the country.

"The historic opening of Cuba is a natural opportunity for us to take action, and we are. That's the Un-carrier way!" T-Mobile CEO John Legere says in a statement. "We have more customers of Cuban descent than any other wireless provider - so connecting them with family and friends in Cuba is a message we heard loud and clear!" T-Mobile also said that it provides service to 36.6 percent of Cuban-born wireless customers in the US. More than a third (36.6%) of Cuban-born wireless customers are with T-Mobile, more than AT&T and triple the number of Verizon customers.

And, customers in Cuban-American hubs like Miami are choosing T-Mobile and MetroPCS nearly twice as often as AT&T or Verizon. Not surprisingly, Cuba is the #1 requested addition to T-Mobile's international roaming on social media. Naturally, the Un-carrier is listening and responding to its customers. This will for sure help Cubans too in a way if they had to travel back to the USA for any work and could save money on networking features. This move seems very welcomed by citizens of both the nations so far and no other challenges have been out yet.
