Recharge Honduras nowHonduras is one of the newest destinations we are proud to serve, built on everything we learned connecting families in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

For decades Honduran telephony revolved around state-owned Hondutel, focused on the fixed network. Mobile telephony arrived in 1996 with the first private cellular concession, and since then the regulator CONATEL has overseen a market open to international operators.
Millicom has operated in Honduras since 1996 — first as Celtel and later under the Tigo brand — and leads the mobile market. America Movil arrived in the mid-2000s, unified its operation under the Claro brand and absorbed Digicel Honduras's operations in 2011.
With smartphones and LTE networks, Hondurans moved from voice and SMS to mobile data, messaging apps and social networks. Prepaid remains the dominant way to stay connected.
With more than a million Hondurans in the United States and a growing community in Spain, remittances represent close to a quarter of the country's economy. Recharging a line from abroad is a practical bridge that keeps a family member's number active and connected.
Recharging Honduras usually means choosing between Tigo and Claro, the two national mobile operators. Pick the operator your recipient actually uses and review the active product before paying.
