Damn...I wish these companies would join the 21st century and allow out of country credit cards to be used to top up.....I just can't understand this insistance that the credit card be issued by a UK bank (enforced by requiring the postal code)....the amounts involved simply can't be that much so that fraud is a big issue...if it is, restrict use of non UK credit cards to 10 quid or something like that. It's an idiotic requirement which flies in the face of just what credit cards were set up to do i.e. to do away with problems of currency exchange and national borders for travellers.

Absolutely! OTOH, my brother was able to register his UK issued credit card with Tuyo mobile (Tmobile MVNO) while he was here in January. Having done that, he is able to topup online anytime. Sister did the same online with tmobile payg using her UK issued credit card while here last year.

Now, I have heard of a number of people being able to register a US issued CC with Vodafone UK.
