Can I Use Skype In Cuba?

Yes, you can use Skype in Cuba. You will need a VPN to access Skype in Cuba.

We used Skype coupled with NordVPN for some calls from Cuba to Australia. And those calls had clear audio and all Skype functions worked as intended.

Most Cubans do not use Skype or know what it is. Do not expect to connect with many Cubans or see Cuban content on Skype.

WhatsApp is the most commonly used messaging app in Cuba.

If your account uses any form of two-factor authentication (2fa) you should switch it off before travelling to Cuba. As the phone number linked to your account will likely not work in Cuba. If your account sends you a text with a login code you will likely find yourself locked out of your Skype account in Cuba.

For other mobile apps or websites and whether or not they work in Cuba, there’s also our definitive guide to using mobile apps in Cuba.

Where Can I Get More Information About Cuba?

I’ve made a Cuba Frequently Asked Questions Page (FAQ) available on this website. And I would strongly advise you to read it before travelling to Cuba. 

My Cuba FAQ page will save you a lot of time and a significant amount of money on your trip to Cuba. Cuba is not the sort of destination in which you can just arrive unprepared.
