During periods when there are no Cubacel promotions, Fonoma continues to offer two ways to recharge cell phones in Cuba: sending balance or data plans. Both options are secure, fast, and useful for keeping your loved ones connected.
Data plans do not include main balance.
1. Cubacel Balance Recharge
Balance recharges allow you to send from 250 CUP to 1,250 CUP directly to a Cubacel line. This balance can be used to:
Transfer it to other users
Make calls or send messages, with national and international reach
Activate Plan Amigo
Connect to the internet through pay-per-use rates (not recommended)
Purchase Plans for Data, Minutes, and SMS (better option)
For example, with a 500 CUP recharge, it's possible to purchase a combined plan for 360 CUP and another for 120 CUP, giving you 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 sites with .cu domains, meaning local content.
