Facebook is one of the most used apps in Cuba, alongside WhatsApp and imo. A local +53 number makes Marketplace, pages and ad accounts for a local audience look native rather than foreign.
Cuban diaspora families: Cubans living in Miami, Spain and elsewhere keep in touch with relatives on the island mainly through WhatsApp and imo calls.
Facebook re-checks the phone number for security prompts, ad-account reviews and password resets.
Cuba’s mobile network is run by a single state operator, and internet on phones only arrived widely in 2018, so messaging apps have become the main link between the island and a large diaspora. Families in Florida and Spain rely on WhatsApp and imo to reach relatives. For visitors, researchers and journalists, a +53 number helps keep those conversations on familiar terms.
Local context
Mobile service in Cuba is provided by the state operator ETECSA, and visitors buying a local SIM must show their passport. Many foreign roaming plans do not cover Cuba. A Cuba number from PhoneBorn needs no SIM and no ID — only an email.
