Recharging Mobicarte Orange
 

Hi

This is the situation:
I bought a mobicarte on ebay, but the card has no credit on it, so I can't sent an sms to find oud what my number is, the person I bought it from says he doesn't know the number.

To recharge, I can go to the orange.fr website, or to topengo.fr, but both ask my mobile number (what I don't have).

I need the number before I leave...

So, help ? :-)
Idea: is someone in france willing to buy me a topup card (25 euro + 5 euro for free included), scratch the card, PM me the code?
I will pay you in advance (paypal ?).

Thanks !
Yves

Call #123# and it will show your number :)

Hi Tux

Thanks, it returns a menu, you have to tap the numbers, and finally, hidden in a dark place, you get to see your number.
It also returns the expiration date of the card.
Now I can give the number to my friends before leaving.

I also have another question for this card.
1° Can I turn voicemail completely off ?
2° Can I extend the time before the caller hears the voicemail ?

Thanks again
Yves

Hi, after a little search Google, I have found something that could be useful: utiliser la messagerie vocale 888 - Assistance Orange
I don't know French very well, but from what I understood, you have to call 880 or 881. (desactivation messagerie vocale sur mobicarte - mail et messagerie vocale - mobile : utiliser/dépanner - Forums d'entraide Orange.fr)

I was just over on the topengo.fr web site and while my knowledge of French is simply based on several years of high school French years ago, I did stagger through most of it and it does NOT seem to require use of a French credit card...I did not finish the transaction I would like to wait about 10 days so I can have it done just before I arrive in France but the question is will it work with a US credit card; it does not, like so many of these top up web sites I have encountered, ask for a billing address, at least I didn't see one.

Failing that, is there anybody here with a paypal account who can e-mail me a voucher number after I send them money (with a small tip too).

Thanks.....

Well, I tried both the orange.fr and topengo.fr site, and both refuse my Belgian Mastercard. Orange is using an (to me) unknown creditcard processor, topengo.fr is using 'Ogone' (also exists in Belgium), but both refuse my card.

If someone is willing to help me recharge my card, that would be great.
I want to reload with "25+5".

Can someone PM me?

Yeah, Dutch cards don't work either. I guess they only take French cards.
