In these times of such a great crisis on the island, there is no doubt it is a priority for the majority to make the most of the benefits of the Internet and to be connected,&#8221; she added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regarding the cost-benefit of using WhatsApp instead of messages or traditional calls by cell phone, the balance completely tilts in favor of the first option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gabriela M.

That is, you speak for 10 minutes and consume 12 CUC. However, with 10 CUC of your main balance you buy 1GB of data to communicate a whole month with calls, video calls and chat with your family and friends.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.etecsa.cu\/telefonia_movil\/tarifas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ETECSA rates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> show the recent change in the cost for one megabyte, since previously it represented 1 CUC and now it is 0.10 CUC to surf the Internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecting to WhatsApp and sending messages or calling through the application would represent a considerable saving compared to the use of SMS messaging or &#8220;normal&#8221; calling.
