Recharge Wind Sim Via Credit Card From Uk?

MATHA531 · 20-05-2006, 00:48

Unfortunately it is very common among mobile phone carriers to only allow recharging remotely with a credit card issued in that country and the way they do this is, as noted, by requiring a postal code from that country. I have found this a big problem among British mobile phone providers and it is evident WIND is pulling the same garbage.

I just don't understand it and never have.......the whole purpose of international credit cards such as visa and mastercard is to make national borders invisible and it really can't be a big fraud problem...I mean what are we talking about 5 or 10 euro?
