Cuba topups are launching soon on MobiSend.
We are bringing topups to this country. Leave your email and we will let you know the day it goes live.
Recargas to Cuba are their own institution. With one carrier on the island -- Cubacel -- and mobile service priced beyond many Cuban salaries, keeping credit on a Cuban phone is what keeps the line in service. If you have someone on the island, you already know the rhythm: wait for the promo, pay for the recarga, hear back on WhatsApp the same hour.
MobiSend is opening Cubacel recharges to any Cuban mobile number (+53). When it launches you will pay in US dollars with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay; the line will be credited and Cubacel will confirm by SMS.
About those promos: Cubacel sometimes runs bonus windows where international recharges earn extra balance or data. Those promotions are run by Cubacel, and any bonus is applied by Cubacel on their side when a window is active -- we do not set them, announce them, or guarantee them.
Our fee will be $2.99 with Apple Pay or Google Pay, flat, on top of the recharge amount. Leave your email on this page and we will write to you the day Cuba goes live.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will I be able to pay for a recarga to Cuba from the US?
Cuba is on our launch list and opens as soon as the carrier connection is ready. Leave your email on this page and we will tell you the day it is live.
How will I pay for a recarga to Cuba?
You will enter the Cuban number with the +53 country code, pick the amount, and pay. The credit will go straight to the Cubacel line -- nothing to do on the other side.
Is Cubacel the only carrier in Cuba?
Yes. Cubacel (run by ETECSA) is Cuba's only mobile carrier, so every Cuban mobile number is a Cubacel number.
How do Cubacel bonus promotions work?
Bonus windows are run by Cubacel, not by us. When one is active, Cubacel applies the bonus on their side to the recharges that qualify. We do not control the timing, the amounts, or whether a promotion runs at all.
How fast will the recarga arrive?
Typically within a minute or two. During heavy promo windows Cubacel can run slower; you will only be charged once the recharge is confirmed.
What will it cost?
The recharge amount plus a $2.99 fee with Apple Pay or Google Pay when it launches. No percentage cut.
Can my family use the credit for internet?
Yes. Cubacel balance pays for data packages, which is how most people on the island get online.
Can I refill a US phone today?
Yes. US carrier refills and bill pay are live right now -- it is only the international topups that are still opening.
