It's a while since I used Babblebug. At the time there were about 11 pesos to the US$, and they charged US$10 for 100 peso refill, so there was a small markup.

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.
