Topping up prepay sims via the web

[Peter Sanders]

Hello I have three European vodafone prepay SIM cards
Italy
Germany
UK (Jersey)

I searched for specific information on how to credit them online, and found the following:
For Italy: Rechargemysim - Recharge your airtime credit for any italian SIM-Card
Is this a good site to do this ?

But am at a loss as to how to do it for the other countries.

I would also like to check the balance on these sims, how can I do this ?

The Vodafone helpdesk in New Zealand were quite unhelpful.

Many thanks for any pointers.

Can't you use vodafone New Zealand vouchers to top up the other vodafone accounts while in New Zealand or is New Zealoand not part of this program?

There's no general solution for topping up German SIMs, as there are so many in the market and all have different payment options. Some providers accept credit card payments through their website, while others sell their vouchers only through local retailers. With the help of Google translate you may find information on most SIMs at the German Prepaid-Wiki (see "Aufladen" section, which literally means "Uploading").
Aufladen.de who sell vouchers of many providers unfortunately do only accept German, Austrian, Swiss and Dutch credit cards and so are useless for foreigners.
For the major MNOs, you'll find vouchers at eBay.de, which carry the following designations:

• T-Mobile = "Xtra Cash"
• Vodafone = "CallNow" (not CallYa, which is the SIM itself!)
• eplus = "E-Plus Cash Card" or "Free & Easy Cash"
• O2 = "LOOP-Up"

Also some MVNOs on these four networks inofficially accept top up vouchers from the MNOs.
If you specify any SIM, I could give you more precise information.
