I may add here my weird experience of such kind, I have a TIM SIM registered to my Italian friend as well as it has his data in 119 self service. A few months ago I tried to recharge the card myself through that service both via PayPal and directly from my card. PayPal told me something strange in Italian after I had tried to pay (something about wrong authorization even though I logged in using my existing PayPal account and it got shown there) and did not work while a direct recharge from my Russian MasterCard seemed to work (card got billed) but no money arrived at the TIM SIM account. Some days later the money spent returned to my card. I guess this is really crazy.
