You can use the address of the hotel you are staying at in those instances where you need to register the card (Orange for one) but you can't get credit card top up as the credit card used is supposed to be keyed to a UK address. This has been an ongoing problem.

It will be interesting to see as the eurotariffs take effect what will happen. Mobile World, of course, does not allow roaming outside the UK making it difficult to keep the card active (although since the sim is free, if you just about use up all the credit, it's no big deal)...Orange call abroad requires one action every six months but since they allow roaming you can send a text message at a very low cost to keep it active and T Mobile UK with its £2 bundle for calls to the USA and Canada also can easily be kept active because they allow roaming.
