However, Personal does this too but only on certain days of the month. I ended up choosing Personal, but this is because many of the people I know in BsAs have Personal, and its half-price to speak to them.
I used to use Claro (ex CTI) and was never very impressed - sounds like things haven't improved much. Never had any problems with Movistar - the extra credit varies. Standard bonus for a $20 (pesos) top-up is $5 or $15 bonus with a $30 top up but on certain days of the month (which they let you know about by text message), they will double the credit. Sometimes this only applies to top-ups of $30 or more. You also get half price calls and texts to other Movistars.
