Recharging Italian sim cards from abroad... TIM and Wind

unfortunately, i don't have a ricaricard. i was hoping to be able to recharge the tim sim online.

for wind, i did the smart ricarica because i had credit on one sim but not the other. so i transferred 4 euro from one to the other via sms. is that enough to keep the cards active?

No, you have to recharge your sim, 'cause the smart ricarica doesn't keep the card active

if i send a text from one phone to another, will that keep both active?
