![]() I've used Babblebug: Babblebug.com | Prepaid wireless refills, prepaid phones, mobile recharges, international topups a couple of times to recharge a Mexican mobile with a US credit card. I found them fast and reliable.
They have refills for many carriers in about 80 countries (for example 19 different carriers/MVNO's in Spain) and seem to also now accept Paypal. Rob Voip: Localphone UK, Anveo US, Google Voice |

![]() I can't find the fees at Babblebug. What does it mean to recharge "8.00 USD converted to Spain’s currency"....

So I presume US$8 for Simyo ES for example would give you nearly 6 EUR on the phone, but you'd need to ask them to confirm (maybe it's only 5 EUR, which makes it not a very good deal). Ezetop's site is much clearer, they show the amounts the phone will receive when you enter a number and carrier. With most of these multi-carrier recharge sites you're paying a bit extra just for the convenience. Worth it sometimes to stop a sim expiring. Voip: Localphone UK, Anveo US, Google Voice |

![]() RTuesday,
I have a Telcel microSIM for my unlocked iPhone4 which I used almost exclusively for Amigo Banda Ancha (internet data) plus a few SMS when I was too lazy to or couldn't find a paperclip to swap in my AT&T SIM. I then used my iPhone as a mobile hotspot for my laptop, iPad, etc. (after I couldn't get a standard Telcel data SIM to work in an unlocked Mifi hotspot, but that's another topic). I travel to Puerto Vallarta for a week or two around New Years every year and want to keep this SIM active (so I'm set as soon as I arrive, no taking a taxi and waiting in line at Telcel for an hour, etc.). The clerk said I had to top up every 4 months to not lose the phone (elsewhere on this forum people report 6 mo). I think he said something in there about 100 pesos, but my Spanish isn't that good. Do you know if there is a minimum amount required to keep the SIM/number active? If not, I see my options as (let me know if wrong):
Unfortunately telcel only offers weekly, bi-weekly or monthly automated online recharging requiring me to set myself 6 or 3 calendar reminders a year in the above scenarios. Thanks in advance RTuesday (and others) for your advice on the minimum to keep the SIM active. I'll look for another thread on getting the Mifi mobile router/hotspot working with Telcel. Joel |
