What is the most practical phone to take to Cuba as a gift?

Give them a gift certificate is the easiest way. Nice idea, but won't work, depending where you are coming from and may REALLY be EXPENSIVE depending where you are travelling from...

Empresa de Telecommunicaciones de Cuba, if I understand right is a major carrier in Cuba, You will need a phone that has the GSM unlocked to accept their service

There has been limited cell phone service in Cuba since 1991 but it was not till 2008 that it was really available to most people in Cuba.

Thanks for the unhelpful rating. I did try to help but you were not acceptable of my offering. If you were more explicit in your question, perhaps I could have done better. You were asking for a gift idea. Next time spell it out.

Try getting a iPhone on eBay it might cost u a little much but that is a good phone
