With Fonoma, you can send recharges to Cuba with different amounts depending on the type of recharge you choose: Cubacel (mobile phones) or Nauta (internet). Prices are calculated in US dollars (USD) and may vary depending on active promotions or bonuses offered by Cubacel.
The amount you can send is defined by a CUP (Cuban pesos) range set by ETECSA for international recharges.
When you visit Fonoma, you’ll always see:
The amount received in CUP in Cuba
The amount you pay in USD or EUR, depending on your selected currency
Euro prices are not fixed and depend on the daily EUR / USD exchange rate.
Fonoma always shows the exact final price before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Price range for Cubacel mobile recharges
Cubacel mobile recharges usually offer several preset amounts, depending on whether a promotion is active. In general, with Fonoma you can send from 250 CUP up to 1,250 CUP per recharge (from 12.45 USD to 62.25 USD).
What the recipient gets depends on the type of recharge:
Standard recharges: no promotion; the full amount is added as main balance.
Promotional recharges: may include multiplied balance or bonus data, minutes, or SMS.
Combined plans: include mobile data, SMS, and call minutes.
During Cubacel promotions, eligible amounts may change. Fonoma automatically updates the available options based on the official conditions of each campaign, so recharge amounts may vary from one promotion to another.
Price range for Nauta recharges
Nauta recharges (for internet access in Cuba) follow a fixed range. You can currently send from 250 CUP up to 1,250 CUP per recharge (from 12.45 USD to 62.25 USD).
The amount is credited directly to the recipient’s Nauta email account:
@nauta.com.cuor@nauta.co.cu
If the person in Cuba mainly uses mobile data, Cubacel recharges during promotions are usually a better option, as they often include extra data and bonuses.
How to choose the right recharge amount
Before sending a recharge, consider the following tips:
Check the current balance of the phone number or Nauta account in Cuba.
Review active promotions on Fonoma (shown on the website and via email).
Choose the recharge type based on the recipient’s needs:
Main balance: for calls and SMS
Unlimited data (when available): for heavy internet use
Combined plans: for mixed usage
Use your accumulated Fonoma credit to reduce the final cost.
Most Cubacel promotions require a minimum recharge amount, often 500 CUP. If you send a recharge below the minimum during a promotion, the recipient will usually receive a standard main balance recharge without bonuses.
