Cubans are reported to have signed 7,400 new mobile phone
contracts in the 10 days since restrictions were eased.
The figures, reported by the AFP news agency were issued by the country's state telecoms company Etecsa.
Etecsa expects to sell 1.4 million new mobile phones in Cuba in the next five years.
Until President Raul Castro lifted restrictions, mobile phones could only be bought by government officials and people working for foreign firms.
Since taking over from his brother, Raul Castro has lifted a number of restrictions on Cubans, including those on renting cars and buying DVDs.
