* Notes

1-way message originators may work, but more likely be replaced with local numbers or blocked. Alpha pre registration required and recommended. You will need a short service description and sample message. The operator Cubacel will randomly filter broadcast messages when the broadcast is to more than 100 end users, so we recommend that you personalise the messages (or at a minimum change one character) to avoid this filtering.
