During periods without Cubacel promotions, Fonoma continues to offer two reliable ways to keep your people connected in Cuba: sending main balance or sending data plans. Both options are fast, secure, and useful.
Important: Data plans do not include main balance.
1. Cubacel Main Balance Recharges
Main balance recharges allow you to send from 250 CUP up to 1,250 CUP directly to a Cubacel line. This balance can be used to:
Transfer balance to other users
Make national or international calls and send SMS
Activate the Plan Amigo
Connect to the internet using pay-as-you-go data (not recommended)
Purchase Data, Minutes, and SMS Plans (the best option)
Example: With a 500 CUP recharge, the user in Cuba can buy a 360 CUP combined plan and an additional 120 CUP plan, giving them a total of 8 GB, 75 minutes, and 90 SMS.
Useful tip: Main balance is valid for 330 days from the date the recharge is received.
2. Cubacel Data Plans
Data plans (also known as combined plans) include data, minutes, and SMS in a single package, valid for 30 days.
You can choose from three options:
Basic Plan: 9 GB + 75 minutes + 80 SMS
Regular Plan: 14 GB + 115 minutes + 120 SMS
Plus Plan: 20 GB + 165 minutes + 160 SMS
All plans also include a 300 MB bonus for browsing websites with the .cu domain (local Cuban content).
