Vodafone.it No Longer Allowing Recharge with Foreign Credit Card

ronwi · *Last edited by ronwi; 25-11-2013 at 20:48..*

As recently as last week I was able to recharge my Vodafome Italy SIM with my US Amex card.

Today, I noticed they have a slightly different interface - and it now rejects my attempt to recharge with a US Amex. Any suggestions about how I can recharge if I am not in Italy to buy topup and I don't have an Italian credit card?

Edit: I found a site, http://www.rechargemysim.de/, that will recharge up to 25 Euro for a 3.90 Euro surcharge. Any other methods?

Just in case you have not tried all of these Vodafone pages:
https://ricarica.vodafone.it/vftopup
https://ricarica.vodafone.it/mobile
Inside My vodafone app there is another possibility for recharge (Ricarica One Click).

PayPal option is available as well which normally uses a different card verification system.

Since when has it stopped doing this? Do you have a link? As I mentioned in another thread, I'd had no problem with a foreign (German) CC when I topped up (about six weeks ago).

I just topped up my Italian Vodafone SIM with a Canadian issued AMEX card. Went through right away...

The problem is not foreign credit card. The problem is more than 2 topup from same credit card/paypal account in I think 3 months.

Which says more or less: "Payment denied by the credit card issuer."

In such cases the best is to contact your card issuer (bank,...). Their contact number is normally on the monthly statement. They should be able to see that payment intent and the reason for which they denied the payment.
