You can purchase recharge vouchers from eBay.fr.

Take care when purchasing from Ebay. A good many of the recharge vouchers for sale are collectors items where the credit has already been used. If you don't read French, look for the usual "Item specifics" where it will tell you either "Neuf: Objet neuf et intact, n'ayant jamais servi..." (new, has never been used) or "Objet ayant été utilisé" (has already been used).

There is no way to enter a recharge code on the Orange Portail. You must do it through the phone menu. The Portail will allow recharging via credit card, but only if it's a French card. I believe that even the credit cards of neighbouring countries will not work.

Get rid of the full stop (period) at the end of the address and you should find it will work.

Having said that, I'm surprised to hear that Orange France would accept a scan of a passport via email. If you do manage to successfully activate the SIM via email, please post back here and let us know.

The SIM cards from Ebay seller 2004ibiza are pre-activated and you do not have to do the activation yourself.

Hi,
Purchased the Orange card on ebay with 15 euro credit. After setting up card but before receiving my mot de passé (took 24 hours as other members have indicated as usual), I received an email from Orange acknowledging my 15 euro "pass voyage d'orange" and asking me to "responded TA a ce SMS, besoin de + ou-de mn faites le 444 gratuit".
I SMS'd "TA" and then got a message " Orange info: pass internet international 25E=50Mo de connexions valuables 7 jours, souscription au 444 grauit"
Problem is, even though I am only 2 days into my 7 and have only used the card to SMS in search of my password and my data is off, I am told I have no credit. Can anyone tell me why and if it is possible to retrieve the credit?
Thanks
