ETECSA Imposes Strict Limits on Mobile Transfers in Cuba

Havana, Cuba – June 1, 2025 – New ETECSA regulations have sparked concern among Cuban citizens. The state-run telecommunications company has implemented a 360-peso monthly limit on mobile phone transfers via Transfermóvil. This measure has disproportionately affected Cubans without family abroad who rely on these transfers for communication and essential services. "This is a direct attack on the Cuban people," stated a local resident in a recent video discussing the changes. The video shows the new ETECSA plan details, highlighting the limitations. While international top-ups remain unaffected, the Transfermóvil restriction creates significant financial challenges for many Cubans. ETECSA has not yet commented publicly on the rationale behind these new restrictions.
