I know that phone service between the US and Cuba was cut due to the imposition of a huge tax. I don't know if it has been restored. Phone calls have to be routed through third countries to make it look like it is not coming from the US.

The revolutionary government began to take its first steps. The first was a 50 percent reduction in rents paid by families. This was a very just measure since, as I said earlier, there were families paying up to one-third of their income for rent. The people had been the victims of housing speculation; urban real estate had also been subject to speculation, to the detriment of the entire Cuban people. But when the revolutionary government reduced rents by 50 percent, there were those who were considerably upset; yes, a few who owned the buildings and apartment houses were upset. But the people rushed into the streets rejoicing, as they would in any country - even here in New York - if rents were reduced by 50 percent for all families. But it caused no problems with the monopolies. Some of the U.S. companies owned large buildings, but they were relatively few in number.

Then another law was passed, a law cancelling the concessions that had been granted by the Batista dictatorship to the telephone company, which was a U.S. monopoly. Aided by having a population without means to defend itself, valuable concessions had been obtained. The revolutionary government cancelled those concessions and reestablished the prices for telephone services that had existed previously. This was the first conflict with the U.S. monopolies.

This is a problem of the country of origin of the call, not Castro or Cuba. Probably they don't have a good satelite network to communicate, and could be on a leased line.

the system is about 50 years old, and the Castro clan want to make money where they can. Haiti is also very expensive
