How do I send a recharge to Cuba from abroad?
“¿Y cómo le mando una recarga a mi mamá en Cuba?” If you’ve ever asked yourself that, don’t worry. It’s actually pretty simple. There is one free app integrating multiple expat services, including international recargas and calls.
If you’re outside Cuba and want to recharge a family member’s or friend’s Cubacel number, we recommend using the HablaCuba app. You don’t need to be in Cuba, and you don’t need to make the other person do anything complicated.
- Just open the app, choose Mobile Recharge
- Pick the Cuban number directly from your Contacts
- Select the recharge or available data bundle, and pay securely with a card, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.
The recharge is usually delivered within seconds, and you get confirmation when it goes through.

Verified THE BEST “HablaCuba is the best app to send top-ups to my family in Cuba. I’ve been using it for a very long time. Very good customer service also.” Reviewed on April 21, 2025 |
“Do I have to type the number every time?”
No, and this is honestly one of our favorite things about it. You can select people directly from your phone Contacts, and if you regularly send a recharge to the same person, you can repeat a previous recharge with a single tap. Much less chance of typing the wrong number, and much less hassle.
“What if there’s a Cubacel promotion?”
That’s another reason to keep an eye on the HablaCuba app.
The app supports official Cubacel bonus promotions and exclusive discount offers to all active subscribers, so when there’s a special deal, you can check the available options before sending your recharge.
You can stay notified by email or app. Once you open a free account you can set Special Offers ON from there, and also your app Settings.

I use Habla Cuba each month because the data available is crucial
“I use Habla Cuba each month because the data available is crucial for my Cuban friends who work on their commuters to earn money. It is a life-saver.”
“Is it only for phone recharges?”
No. HablaCuba app is more like a little connectivity hub. One app, multiple expat services. Besides Cubacel recharges, you can recharge Nauta WiFi, make international calls, and even get a Travel eSIM for mobile data when you’re traveling. Everything is managed from the same account, that is unique about it.
And honestly, that’s the best part: you can be far from Cuba and still do something useful for the people back home or yourself in just a few taps.
So next time someone asks, “¿Cómo le mando una recarga a Cuba desde aquí?”, the answer is simple: get the free HablaCuba app from Google Play or AppStore, choose the person from your Contacts, choose the recharge, pay easily with your preferred method, and let the app take care of the rest.
