Mobile data in Cuba: Plans, prices, and how to use it

Mobile data in Cuba is purchased directly from the phone using the main balance, which can be recharged from abroad.

If your device meets the requirements for mobile data in Cuba, you can start browsing by dialing *133#. We’ll walk you through how to activate it here.

The combined plans with data, as announced in ETECSA’s new offers, include megabytes, minutes, and SMS, and can be used on the 4G, 3G, and 2G networks. Their maximum cost is 360 CUP:

It is more expensive than the data packages. However, if you use the internet only occasionally or moderately, you can try it out to see if it fits your needs. The rate is 0.50 CUP per MB of international browsing.
