ETECSA, Cuba’s only Telecommunications company, is selling landline phones in the month of May for prices ranging from 21 MLC to almost 100 MLC. These prices are in Freely Convertible Currency (MLC), backed by foreign currency. Although ETECSA’s options for landlines are limited, they do have some models available for purchase.
The two most economical models available at ETECSA offices are the Panasonic KX-T7703 W and Panasonic KX-T7703 B, both priced at 21 MLC. These basic and functional models are ideal for those looking for a simple and reliable phone compatible with ETECSA’s landline telephone network.
In addition to these models, ETECSA also offers more expensive options such as the wireless Panasonic KX-TGC352, KX-TGC353, and KX-TGC363, priced at over 55 MLC, 82 MLC, and 99.45 MLC respectively. Despite the limited variety, these are the only five types of landline phones available for sale in MLC at ETECSA offices this month.
The shortage of equipment in Cuba has affected ETECSA’s landline telephone service, with thousands of landlines unable to be moved or activated due to a lack of replacement equipment. ETECSA has acknowledged this issue and stated that the available equipment is being sold in foreign currency, further impacting customers’ access to essential telecommunications services.
