What are ETECSA Data Plans and what do they include?
These are combined packages with mobile data, minutes for calls, and SMS. Three options are available:
- 9 GB + 75 minutes + 80 SMS
- 14 GB + 115 minutes + 120 SMS
- 20 GB + 165 minutes + 160 SMS
All plans are valid for 30 days from the send date and are the best alternative when no Cubacel promotion is active. Learn about Cubacel Data Plans.
When is it better to send a Data Plan instead of waiting for a Cubacel promotion?
If your family member needs internet and communication right now, a Data Plan is the ideal option — it doesn't depend on the promotion calendar. Cubacel promotions typically appear about twice a month, so they don't always align with when you need them. A Data Plan guarantees data, minutes, and SMS connectivity from the moment it's sent.
How does the person in Cuba activate the plan I send?
No action required — the plan activates automatically on the phone once Fonoma processes it, with no app installation or store visit needed. To check available resources, they can dial *222*328# from their phone. Activation usually takes just minutes, though it can occasionally take a bit longer. View useful Cubacel codes.
When is the next Cubacel Recharge Promotion for Cuba?
Cubacel promotions usually appear about twice a month and last approximately 6 days each. To make sure you don't miss the next one, enable notifications in the Fonoma app — we'll alert you as soon as a new promotion starts. Download the Fonoma app and enable promotion alerts.
Does the Data Plan include international calls?
Yes. The minutes included in a Data Plan can be used for domestic calls within Cuba and for international calls to any country. This makes it especially useful for families who need frequent contact — the person in Cuba has data, minutes, and messages ready from the moment the plan activates, with no extra steps needed.

What if the person in Cuba already has an active data plan?
No problem. If they receive a new plan while a previous one is still active, all resources accumulate automatically — data, minutes, and SMS are added on top of what they already have. Validity extends from the date of the new send. Nothing is lost and service is never interrupted, regardless of when the new plan arrives.
How is a Data Plan different from a standard Cubacel recharge?
- Data Plan: delivers a ready-to-use package of data + minutes + SMS. Everything is available immediately, with no additional steps needed.
- Standard Cubacel recharge: adds main balance to the phone. The person can then use it to purchase plans or make calls as needed.
Without an active promotion, a Data Plan is usually the more complete option.
What payment methods can I use to recharge with Fonoma?
Fonoma accepts credit, debit, and prepaid cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), plus PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. No bank account required. Your card information is never stored on Fonoma's servers and all payments comply with international PCI DSS security standards. See all accepted payment methods.
Can I use Fonoma to send a recharge to phones in the United States?
No — Fonoma is dedicated exclusively to recharges to Cuba. For prepaid US phone recharges, Teloa is the recommended option — covering T-Mobile, AT&T, Metro, Verizon, Cricket, Boost Mobile, and more, with the same easy and secure payment process. Refill your prepaid phone in the US with Teloa.
