Cubacel has two things going on in October. All month long, every Cubacel top-up between 500 and 1,250 CUP comes with 10 days of unlimited internet, around the clock. And from 5 to 10 October 2026 there is a Cubacel special promotion on top: anyone who receives between 600 and 1,250 CUP through Fonmoney during these six days also gets 25 GB and unlimited night-time data for 35 days. In both cases, the full top-up amount goes to the main balance.
Special promotion 5–10 October: 25 GB + unlimited data
- Qualifying top-up: between 600 and 1,250 CUP
- 25 GB, usable on all networks, valid for 35 days
- Unlimited data from 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. (Cuba time), valid for 35 days
- From the second top-up during the promotion: unlimited domestic minutes and SMS, valid for 10 days
- Existing plans with data stay valid until 35 days after the top-up
Example: a top-up of 1,000 CUP on 7 October gives 1,000 CUP of main balance, 10 days of unlimited internet around the clock from the October promotion, plus 25 GB and unlimited night-time data for 35 days. If a second top-up arrives during the promotion period, there are also 10 days of unlimited calls and texts within Cuba.
October promotion: 10 days of unlimited internet
- Qualifying top-up: between 500 and 1,250 CUP, from 1 to 31 October 2026
- Unlimited internet, 24 hours a day, for 10 days
- Valid for domestic and international websites
- The full top-up amount goes to the main balance and stays valid for 330 days, plus an extra 180-day grace period
Promotion periods and conditions
- All bonuses are activated as soon as the qualifying top-up is received.
- The 25 GB and the unlimited night-time data expire 35 days after activation at 11:59 p.m. (Cuba time).
- Unlimited domestic minutes and SMS expire 10 days after activation at 11:59 p.m. (Cuba time).
- The unlimited internet from the October promotion is valid for 10 days and expires at 11:59 p.m. (Cuba time) on the tenth day.
- You can top up several times, and bonus resources add up. For the special promotion, validity counts from the most recent top-up: 35 days for data, 10 days for minutes and SMS.
- Active GB or data bonuses from earlier promotions are combined with the new bonus and then stay valid for 35 days from this top-up.
- Maximum main balance: 500,000 CUP.
- Data bonuses (GB) cannot be passed on via balance transfer.
- Both promotions are only available through official international distributors such as Fonmoney – not via Transfermóvil or the USD stores in Cuba.
What happens to existing plans?
This is where the two promotions differ:
- Special promotion 5–10 October: active national data plans, international bundles, national plans, extra data packages (CUP or USD) and toDus plans are extended by 35 days from the promotional top-up, expiring at 11:59 p.m. (Cuba time).
- October promotion: a top-up outside the special promotion does not extend any plans or bonuses that are already active.
