UPDATE:
I did some research on the tuenti mÃ³vil surcharge.

There is actually a pretty recent thread in their forum where this surcharge is discussed:
http://www.soportetuentimovil.com/in...p?topic=7654.0

In this thread some foreigners are telling similar stories. But the "official" statement of tuenti by the administrator in the last post gives some explanation (of course only in Spanish):

En tienda fÃ*sica y para pasaportes, las tarjetas de prepago tienen un PVP de 25€. La Ãºnica tarifa por defecto que podrÃ¡s tener serÃ¡ la de 7€ y la diferencia estarÃ¡ disponible en forma de saldo (18€). A partir del siguiente ciclo podrÃ¡s escoger la tarifa que quieras.

Translation: In physical stores and for passports, the prepaid SIM Cards have a recommended price of 25 EUR. The only tariff option which can be chosen is the 7 EUR package and the difference is given as a balance of 18 EUR. From the following month, you can choose any tariff option you like.

So I will change the article about tuenti again. Foreigners are not overcharged. But for some mysterious reason, their choices are somewhat more limited than for Spanish nationals. By having a mandatory balance of 18 EUR, tuenti seems to force PAYG customers to stay for longer. Well, this is Spain!
