Promotions

Cubacel Recharge Promotion Terms

  • One Cubacel recharge per payment method
  • Available only for phone numbers that haven’t been recharged with Fonoma before

What does the person in Cuba receive with this recharge?

Without an active promotion, the recharge adds main balance in CUP to the recipient's phone, valid for 330 days. With that balance, they can purchase combined plans directly from their phone — for example, with 500 CUP they can get up to:

  • 8 GB of mobile data
  • 75 call minutes
  • 90 text messages

If you'd prefer data included from the start, a Data Plan is the more direct alternative.

What's the difference between a Cubacel recharge, a Data Plan, and a Nauta recharge?

Three different services:

  • Cubacel recharge: adds main balance for calls, SMS, or purchasing data packages on demand.
  • Data Plan: sends a ready-to-use package of data + minutes + SMS valid for 30 days — no extra steps needed.
  • Nauta recharge: credits an internet account for ETECSA WiFi zones or Nauta Hogar. Not usable for calls or SMS.

How does the $7 new user discount work?

When you sign up for Fonoma for the first time, the discount is applied automatically at checkout — no code needed. Just choose the number, select the amount, and you'll see the discount reflected before confirming. It applies whether or not a Cubacel promotion is currently active, and works for any recharge amount.

Are there any conditions to access the $7 discount?

Two main conditions apply:

  • The discount is valid only for phone numbers that have never received a recharge through Fonoma
  • Only one recharge per payment method is allowed.

You can verify whether a number qualifies when you enter it at checkout, before completing the payment.

What payment methods does Fonoma accept?

Fonoma accepts:

  • Credit, debit, and prepaid cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover)
  • PayPal
  • Google Pay
  • Apple Pay

No bank account required. Payments are processed under PCI DSS security standards and your card information is never stored on Fonoma's servers.

Is it safe to pay on Fonoma?

Fonoma has been sending recharges to Cuba since 2012 and holds over 15,000 verified reviews rated Excellent on international platforms. Card data is never stored, and all transactions comply with PCI DSS security standards.

From which countries can I send a recharge to Cuba?

You can recharge from anywhere in the world — the United States, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Canada, and many more. There are no restrictions by country of origin and the process is exactly the same regardless of where you recharge from. All you need is a Fonoma account and a supported payment method.

Can I use Fonoma to send a recharge to phones in the United States?

Fonoma operates exclusively with recharges to Cuba. For prepaid US phone recharges, the recommended option is Teloa — compatible with T-Mobile, AT&T, Metro, Verizon, Cricket, Boost Mobile, and more, with the same secure and easy payment experience.
