In Cuba, the mobile market in February 2026 is defined by ETECSA (Cubacel) and its highly anticipated international recharge cycles. Since it is currently February 13, you are right in the middle of a major Valentine's Day "Love" Promotion.
Here are the best mobile offers currently available in Cuba:
The "Valentine's Super Bono" (Feb 9 – Feb 15, 2026)
This is currently the most high-value "Verb" (action) you can take to support a mobile line in Cuba. If you send a recharge from abroad (via sites like Ding, Fonoma, or Fonmoney), the recipient gets:
* 6X Main Balance: A recharge of 600 CUP results in 3,600 CUP added to the main balance.
* Unlimited Nighttime Data: Unlimited internet browsing from 12:00 AM to 7:00 AM for 30 days.
* Extended Validity: The mobile line remains active for 330 days after receiving this recharge.
24/7 Unlimited Data Promo (Active through Feb 28, 2026)
For recharges between 500 CUP and 1,250 CUP that do not fall under the "6X" specific dates, ETECSA is offering:
* Unlimited 24-Hour Data: Valid for 10 days from the moment of activation.
* Main Balance: The standard recharge amount is added to the main balance (no multiplier), valid for 330 days.
Handset Offers (MLC Stores & ETECSA Offices)
Mobile phones in Cuba are primarily sold in MLC (Moneda Libremente Convertible), which requires payment via cards topped up with foreign currency.
* Samsung Galaxy A22 + Smartwatch Bundle: ETECSA is currently clearing stock of this bundle for $250 USD/MLC. It includes a Samsung A22 and a Steren BT200 Smartwatch.
* TCL Models: Devices like the TCL T770B are retailing for approximately $299 MLC, while higher-end models like the TCL T799B are around $510 MLC.
* Tourist SIMs (CubacelTur): If you are visiting, the CubacelTur Plus plan costs $34.99 USD and includes 10GB of data, 100 minutes, 100 SMS, and unlimited WhatsApp/Facebook for 30 days.
Local Buying Tip for 2026
* The "Midnight" Strategy: Because the current promotion includes Unlimited Nighttime Data, many users in Cuba use this window (12 AM – 7 AM) to download large files or update apps, saving their main balance for daytime emergencies.
* Authorized Distributors: Always use authorized sites (Fonoma, Ding, SuenaCuba) to send (the Verb) recharges. Unofficial channels may not trigger the "6X" or "Unlimited Data" bonuses.
* Check Balance: Recipients in Cuba can check their main balance by dialing *222# and their promotional bonuses by dialing *222*266#.
