Do you need a DNI? Can you recharge it electronicaly at a kiosko or loccutorio?
Sorry, I should have clarified that.
The Movistar phone pre-paid card also provides data service. You can get 1GB of data to use over 2 days by texting DATA to 2345. Be careful with remembering to do this though as it will also use your credit at a much higher rate when you are not in the 2 day window.
On my jailbroken iPhone, I turn off 3G and EDGE when I do not need them and then send that text message to get data as needed. I also recharge with my credit card by dialing *444 from the mobile phone.
Here's some of the Movistar promotions and text messages you can send for discounts:
