About Movistar Argentina
Movistar in Argentina
Movistar has historically been operated by Telefónica in Argentina. Since June 2026 its ownership has been in transition: the National Competition Authority conditioned Telecom's purchase of Telefónica Móviles Argentina on measures to preserve three national mobile competitors. In that same analysis, Movistar held a 24.4% market share before those measures, making it the country's third carrier.
Movistar balance and plans
With Fonmoney you top up the Movistar prepaid balance. The balance can be used for calls, mobile data or messages depending on the active plan, including the Plan Ideal. According to Movistar's official information, each recharge keeps the balance valid for 180 days, and the line is cancelled if a further 60 days pass without a new recharge after that expiry.
