Wind - credit expiry?

Try to call *124*4242#
You should be called back by the system - then you can top up.

unfortunately it responds:
digiti *148*+39 seguito dal numero e da per richiedere l'addebito al chiamato: il suo credito residuo non sufficiente per effettuare la telefonate
so it wants me to call collect but i don't have any credit to do any activity whatsoever.

Here's an update...

I used http://www.rechargemysim.de/ and relucatantly paid the fee to top up from abroad. Once I had credit, I was able to call *124*4242# and top up using the scratch off card that I cleverly purchased and held onto in order to strategically extend the lifetime of my SIM prior to expiration. Next visit I intend to do the same, but leave some credit so that I can use this approach without a problem. Grazie mille @alexecca.

Seems to me that if they want to restrict online top ups to Italian credit cards and Italian PayPal accounts, they should make an exception for (dual) citizens that are living abroad that have neither. One would think that repatriating euros would be a good thing. Pretty sure the Romans would have done it that way
