Miami, May 11 (RHC) -– Florida-based SMS Cuba has announced the launch of seamless text messaging services between the U.S. and Cuba, enabling users to communicate directly with contacts on the island with its instant, two-way, phone-to-phone messaging service, Telegeography reports.

Previously, no text message service was available between the two countries from any U.S.-based wireless carrier.

SMS Cuba’s founder and CEO, Frank S. Caruso, stated in a company press release: “I have been a student of the Cuban telecom environment for the past 20 years. I have been working on practical solutions that are easily deployable for everyday use, knowing that when the time arrived, both U.S. and Cuban businesses and individuals would get great value from the use of these services. SMS Cuba is the first of these solutions.’
