This will drive you to madness if you don’t speak Spanish. So I hope this helps.
Before me, this guy had a great, and very helpful blog post about how to add credit to your Movistar phone. I think the system has changed since he wrote the post, however, so here is an updated version if you are charging from with recharge card (tarjeta de recharga).
After a bit of mucking around, the trick I found was:
1. Buy a recharge card from a corner store. If they sell candy and gum, they probably sell phone cards. You can get 20 or 30 peso credits (probably more, but that’s all I found).
2. Scratch the number off the back.
3. Call *444.
3. Wait for the Movistar girl to say something in rapid-fire Spanish, then Press 2.
4. Press 2 again.
5. Then press 1.
6. Now, enter your 16-digit recharge number that you had to scratch your card to get. You need to do it fast, or they log you out.
7. And that’s it. They’ll send you some crazy-sounding texts and you’re good to go.
