How can I recharge a T-Mobile Austria SIM from Italy?

Hi guys!

Last summer I've bought a T-Mobile Austria SIM card, but I've found out it's impossible to recharge my SIM by credit card.

The only payment method is through Austria's bank accounts...

In your opinion, are there any payment methods?

Thanks!

PS: sorry for my poor english, but I'm only 15...!

you could go via ebay and buy tmobile austria top ups from there (at your own risk!) or see if a austrian member of this very forum can arrange something with you!

Did you try to use a TIM refill? I think there should be some agreement (like in Vodafone and Starmap groups) to use foreign top ups and T-Mobile is with Orange and TIM in that group called Freemove

Oh yes, I've tried... But it doesn't work, unfortunately! And now, after 3 times I've tried to insert a code, the IVR is blocked... The customer care requires a scratch card secret code to unblock it... Well, I have to wait to go to Austria... Or I can try the "ebay method"... Thanks guys! You're so special, as usual!
