I go to Cuba all the time and get $40 forball nighters. Never get ask to pay before hand. Last time I went had some ask before hand as well as $70-80 for a one shot. You are killing us! SMH! Unbelievable. Last time was 7 days, had 13 ladies, including3 overnighter all for a total of around 400! Quit Americanizing Cuba.

Besides, you are fully right about the nonsense to give expensive / fashionable / up-to-date phones. Cash is king there, and I'm sure the chicas will find the phone of their dreams with your cash. If such a phone means a priority in their life.

Samsung Galaxy phones do work in Cuba. Some models have problems with the WIFI there but that can be fixed with a little software tweak at most any cellphone shop in Havana. Cuba does have the technology to lock phones now but you would have to contact Etecsa and give them the IMEI number of your lost or stolen phone to have it locked. They would probably only do this for a Cuban. Almost any phone that has been unlocked will be useable in Cuba with a Cuban Sim card. An iPhone from the US will accept a Cuban Sim card providing it's not a special iPhone that doesn't take a Sim card. Sim cards are the same all over the world. Yes Sim cards do come in different sizes but in most cases they can be cut down in size to fit. (Micro to Nano size for example). I personally have 2 Cuban Sim cards. One Micro and one Nano size. I've used these cards in many different types of phones including older Samsung Galaxies and newer iPhones without any problems. The older Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 did have the WIFI problem. An S7 I tried did not have this problem.
Cubans have whatever phones we have in our countries and they use whatever apps we do as long as the app isn't blocked by the Cuban government. The most common app they use for chatting is IMO. The girls don't care so much about using up their time because a lot of them have more than one family member of friend topping up their phones for free whenever there's a special available. A lot of them resell some of the time off their phones. This is an easy way of them to get free cash after they get a free top up. You gain very little from giving a chica a free phone or any gift. They only count real cash as money. There are many chicas walking around with high end cellphones that were mostly given to them by foreigners or they got a good deal on them because they were stolen. If you do give a phone to a chica it probably won't be long before she's asking for money to fix it or for a new phone. This is just another way for them to scam us. Money is number one for them so of course they know all the tricks and scams there are about money. Unfortunately we all fall for some of these tricks or scams now and then. That's the price we have to pay to play. LOL.

I know some phones (eg samsung galaxy) refuses to work with a Cuban SIM. Yes, phones can be locked regarding the country of the SIM card.
As Iphone is from US, I would be doubtful it can accept a cuban ETECSA SIM.
As LostInParadise said, I think an Iphone is just too much. They wouldn't use 10% of the features.
Even the girls owning a smatphone won't download and use whatsapp, because it would burn too much units!
The beauty of Cuba is that people still use phones to CALL, and chatting with VOICE and not messages is still the standard there. Please keep this alive!

1. Make sure your cp's are unlocked and work on GSM networks. Verizon phones (CMDA) will not work there. If your are bringing iPhones then bring the appropriate chargers and cables for them.
2. In my experience the girls love cell phones, it is something they really can't afford. Now are they willing to exchange services for them? They are willing to but the NEED for money for food and survival will take priority. I wouldn't offer them without adding cash to the mix, it will only create disappointment. It is almost like showing a child a toy and then telling them they can't have it.
3. I personally don't barter with the cp for services but give it to my farvorite girls after a few sessions.
You can get a decent new unlocked smart GSM cell phones from amazon for <$100. Add a glass screen protector and case for <$10 and you will be Big Guy on Campus. The problem with used iPhones are they are used with questionable battery life and possibly other problems. OTOH, Iphones do last a long time.
I belive flip phones are obsolete now. Best to get smart phones.
Good luck.

Posts: 776In Havana, Is Cash King or is it the iPhone?
Thanks for the info Mondo707.
I haven't been to Havana in many years and was wondering if it was worth buying a couple of iPhone 5's (~$70) to seal any negotiations with "club" chicas, which is all I will have access to on this trip.
To put it another way, would a "club" chica prefer an iPhone 5 and $30 or just $100?
BTW, what is the market rate for an iPhone 5 or 6 in Cuba?
Thanks,
Helpmann

I've seen lots of Samsung phones around, maybe a gen or two back from the new ones.
I have a Moto G4 which is unlocked and works in Cuba + I own my line (meaning a local tele #) since I usually travel a couple of times a year.
I think most Cubans get their phones from relatives and or friends abroad, specially in the USA, or mongers like us who "donate" our older phones to the chicas.
Don't be surprised if one of your chicas asks you for an Iphone, specially if you hang with the higher $$$ ones. LOL.

Posts: 776Cellphone Brands and Models Carried by the Chicas?
I would appreciate it if anyone can comment on the brands and models of cellphones that the club girls typically have? Are they primarily carrying flip phones or smartphones, Galaxies, or iPhones, and if so, what models?
Thanks,
Helpmann

Posts: 344Kennedy Center in D. C.
Hey,
This is for those of you that enjoy Cuba's music. I was impressed by this group of young musicians interpreting different genres of Cuban music.
This is an event that's taking place in D. C. at the Kennedy Center and goes on till the next week on the 20th. Wish I was in the area to check it out myself.
Enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INOA...OICE1ZKUdxhRMC.
Mondo.
BTW, Could not help to check out the 2 cubanitas playing the violin, 9-1/2 in my book.
