How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Cuba

Cuba’s country calling code is +53. For landlines from abroad, dial your exit code → 53 → the area code (drop the domestic 0) → the subscriber number (6–7 digits). Inside Cuba, calls to a different province use the trunk 0 + area code + number; local calls within the same area just use the subscriber number. International calls placed from Cuba use 00 (harmonized nationwide since 2019). Example landline formats: +53 7 xxx xxxx (Havana), +53 22 xxx xxxx (Santiago de Cuba).

Mobiles vs landlines: Mobile numbers are 8 digits and do not use area codes. Historically they begin with 5 (format +53 5xxxxxxx). Since late 2023, Cubacel also issues new mobiles starting 63 (format +53 63xxxxxx). Inside Cuba, dial the 8 digits directly (no trunk “0”); from abroad, just prefix +53. Only one mobile operator (Cubacel / ETECSA) serves the market, so prefixes indicate service type rather than competing carriers.

Note: The U.S. Guantánamo Bay Naval Base uses an unofficial “99” code reachable only from within the U.S.; it is not part of Cuba’s public network for international callers.

Dialing tip: If you see a local landline shown as (0)7… / (0)22…, remove the 0 when calling from abroad and prefix +53: +53 7… / +53 22…. From the U.S./Canada specifically, dial 011 53 + area + number.
