MIAMI, April 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As relations between the U.S. and Cuba evolve, Boost Mobile is leading the way in making it simple and affordable for Miami customers to connect with friends and family by launching the first and only prepaid calling plan for consumers calling Cuba.

Starting at $50 a month, Cuba Monthly Connect includes unlimited talk, text and data with 15 minutes/month1 voice calling to Cuba and unlimited international texting from anywhere in the U.S. Cuba Monthly Connect plans save consumers money and the hassle of buying separate calling cards. This limited-time offer is available only at authorized Boost Mobile wireless dealer locations in the Miami area.

In addition to the new Cuba Monthly Connect plans, for a limited time new customers can get a free 4G LTE phone plus an additional free 25 minutes during the first month of service to call Cuba when they port their number to Boost from any carrier2.

Current customers can also take advantage of a limited-time offer and get a total of 50 minutes to call Cuba and unlimited international texts for only $153, which comes out to the industry low rate of 30 cents/minute during the promotion.

"Cuba Monthly Connect is the perfect plan for Miami residents looking for the best value to call Cuba," said Dow Draper, president of Boost Mobile and Sprint Prepaid. "With the recent government expansion of relations with Cuba, and Miami being an important market for the Boost brand, we wanted to combine a promotion with a way to give back to Cuban-Americans and make it easier for them to call friends and family in Cuba."

The launch of this new plan will benefit Roots of Hope, a nonprofit organization with a mission to empower the youth of Cuba so they may become the authors of their own futures. Boost has made a commitment to donate $10,000 to the charity. The donated funds will help support programs like Tech4Cuba, which provides youth in Cuba the tools – cell phones, flash drives and tablets – and skills necessary to build a better future for themselves.

"Boost Mobile has supported youth organizations since the brand's inception in 2002," said Draper. "Roots of Hope is a wonderful organization that helps empower Cuban youth, and we look forward to working with them and donating resources to their cause."

"Our mission at Roots of Hope has quite literally been to boost the connectivity of youth in Cuba so that they can more fully realize their potential," said Raul Moas, executive director-Roots of Hope. "Boost Mobile understands the power of technology to empower people and communities alike, and it's simply awesome to be working together in building bridges between youth on and off the island – one phone call and text message at a time."
