I received yesterday my B&You sim (and then began the number portability of my Orange mobicarte number), too, thanks to willemijns e-CB (thank you

)

I also was able to top-up with my Italian credit card, but my bank called me to confirm what they called "a suspicious purchase"

I'm in France now. to get the card sent to my hotel, so it was here when I arrived.
The problem I have is that I get an error message when I try to top up using my US credit cards. The message says that something is not working on their website and that they're trying to fix it. I've gotten that message 2 days in a row. Does anybody know what this is about?

No idea, but as you're in France, just buy a Bouygues Telecom voucher from loads of shops - Tabacs, supermarkets, everywhere. You can then use the voucher number to top up your B&You balance by dialling 630.

I assume you mean the Bougyes recharge slips that you buy in the stores? The only ones I was able to buy were for 10€, anyway.
