Can't call mobiles in Cuba

Mobiles in Cuba can't be called from mobiles and landlines here in
the UK. Some 'technical' problem for almost TWO weeks !
(I've tried using Orange and Vodafone sets)

Mobiles in Cuba can call out to the UK, no problem.

Texting both ways, no problem.


WTF?


Anyone else having problems ?

Cuba's government does what the hell it likes. In a country where long
prison sentences are the usual reward for independent thought,
problems with incoming calls are pretty trivial...

So, you've got no idea, but you thought you'd make a dumb
political statement instead ?

Cheers.

Anyone who expects communications into or out of a totalitarian regime
to run smoothly is bound to be disappointed. I'm just surprised that
you're surprised.

Well I'm sure if you take your ignorant, off-topic , political rant to
the appropriate newsgroup you'll find someone tolerant enough to put
you right. I'd do it myself but I'm afraid I don't start at your level.

Are. you. really. surprised. that. calling. Cuba. can. be. difficult?

And yes, I know that it's terribly chic these days, but they still do
lock people up in Cuba for thinking too much - or for saying the wrong
things on the phone. Guantanamo Bay is probably the less repressive
regime on the island ...

Love and kisses,

Ian

In that case you'll have nothing to worry about.

It's logged as a problem with Orange technical, so its not just you.
Other than that I don't know much more.
