Etecsa Offers Unlimited Data for 20 Days with International...

What Happened

Etecsa, Cuba's state telecommunications company, has launched a new international top-up promotion for mobile users, valid throughout May 2026. This offer aims to encourage remittances from abroad.

The primary promotion provides users with 20 days of unlimited mobile data upon receiving a qualifying international recharge.

Where and When

The promotion is active for all of May 2026. To qualify for the unlimited data bonus, recharges must be made from abroad through authorized international distributors.

The recharge amount must be between 750 and 1,250 Cuban Pesos (CUP). This offer excludes top-ups made via USD stores or the Transfermóvil application.

Why It's Important

International recharges are a significant source of income for Cuba's telecommunications sector. These promotions incentivize family and friends abroad to send money to relatives on the island.

The unlimited data offer provides enhanced connectivity, allowing users to browse national and international websites freely for a set period, crucial for communication and access to information.

What the Parties Say

Etecsa stated that the unlimited data bonus will be used first, before any other active plans or bonuses. The recharge amount itself will be added to the main balance, usable for calls, messages, and other services.

The company also announced a separate, time-limited promotion from May 4th to May 8th, 2026. This offer provides 20 GB of data, 165 minutes, and 160 SMS for 35 days with a 600 CUP recharge.

What Comes Next

Users should be aware of the order of consumption for data: the unlimited bonus takes precedence. This promotion does not extend the validity of pre-existing packages.

The standard line validity is maintained at 330 days per recharge, with an additional 180 days before permanent deactivation if no further recharge occurs.
