Your first recharge to Cuba? Start with $7 off.
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.
Is it worth recharging now or better to wait for a promotion?
It depends on urgency. Main balance is valid for 330 days, so the person in Cuba can use it whenever needed. If you'd prefer to wait, Cubacel promotions typically appear twice a month and last about 6 days. Enable notifications in the Fonoma app so you don't miss the next one. Download the Fonoma app and enable promotion alerts.
