Norma, In theory it should work fine. I have never been to cuba but I had the same concerns as you when traveling to Europe a few times. I took a look at the cell phone bands for cuba and they use band GSM 900. The Samsung E1080 is compatible with both the 900/1800MHz GSM bands. Based on that problem I really don't think you would have a problem and I highly recommend this phone. Why do I like this phone? -- The phone is simple but more importantly the battery life lasts for several days without charging. I also like the alarm feature which is about the only thing I want it a basic phone for traveling. Texting also works fine but that is to be expected. I also took a Droid 2 global for my wife while traveling. That phone works great since it is fairly cheap now and you can connect to wifi access at coffee shops, bars or anyplace that has an open wifi connection. For traveling though, I would prefer the Samsung E1080 purely because I am more concerned with having a long lasting battery when traveling in a foreign country. I hope this helps. :) Cheers, Phil

Don't have specific answer but it probably depends on the type of service available in Cuba. If it is the same as Europe then probably yes. Nice small phone which worked well in Iceland and I plan on using it again with other European trips. Highly recommend this phone if all you want is a nice little phone with long battery life. It is small, light weight and gets excellent reception and you have alarm, text and contact list. Can't be beat for price. My phone came with European plug so you may need an adaptor to charge it... Cuba not being on my travel list don't know about that. Should be no problem to find out. Can't be beat for the money.

Norma,If you buy international unlocked and Cuba is using the 900/1800MHz GSM bands then the E1080 will work.

Hi, I bought the telephone in U.S.A and worked good. Well, I`m from Argentina, and the telephone does not work good because the service of 3G bands it`s bad. So, if you will use the telephone and the service is not good, the telephone will not work

Tammy if you buy it in the USA go to an Apple store and ask for a model that is unblocked and tell the salesperson that you plan to use it in Venezuela. I bought my i phone in New York and use it in Brazil but I asked the questions in a timely manner good luck

I bought it to use in Cuba but didn't need it at our hotel. But when Imbought it, I thought it would be good to use in Europe. So I hope I can use it there but have not had that opportunity.

Hi...I just returned from a trip to Chile and Peru yesterday and the phone worked perfectly with the local carriers. I have also used the phone with Movistar as the carrier in Panama. This phone is adequate for a person who travels regularly on business and needs a phone for local calls.

Great phone. My dad bought it with the main intention to use it abroad... However, it worked just fine in the states too as long as you have your SIM card in the appropriate slot, because each slot has dual band only. In other words, if your SIM card doesnot work in one slot you would have to take it out and reinsert into another one. Hope it helps

Hi, I purchased it in the Caribbean and it works fine! Just put in my chip and it was a go. I went into the service provider for them to put in the roaming details a few days after. Works great and its fast! I am so pleased.

Yes Dixieann it does work here in the Caribbean. The only challenge in was when I went to insert my sim card, I didn't realize that this phone took the new micro sim card and my sim card was bigger and it couldn't fit and I was afraid that I wasted money on a cell phone that I couldn't use but I did check on line and found that not all hope was lost. In the Google search, just type, "how to cut my sim card to micro sim" and you will see a video there on how to do it - it's easy. Sounds scary I know but it works well. I have no complaints with this phone it's beautiful and operates very smoothly. Hope this helps. Yes Dixieann it does work here in the Caribbean.

I bought this cellphone unlocked because I live in the Dominican Republic, and it wouldn't work for me otherwise. International version means that this cell can be used in other countries than the USA, these cells can switch to other systems without trouble. As soon as I had mine with me in my country I simply took the SIM card from my local cellphone and placed it in one of the slots in my new Samsung cell. It worked perfect!

You should be able to use the phone everywhere. I got it for my sister in Europe and she had no issues whatsoever. It worked with different sim cards too.

we bougth it unlocked to be regularly used in the USA, and it worked fine on the AT&T; network, he had been in Mexico for the Holiday and its been working fine under movistar network, for some reason all cell log directly into movistar. We haven't forced to try to go into a Telcel Network I believe is Carlos Slim´s as Claro. I bought to my wife since she loved here Z10 and she is loving it so far.
