Heya,

How do I top up my sisters prepay voda mobile? She is currently in the UK on holiday and has run out of credit. I tried the post office today but Vodafone payment systems have been down for the last two days (typical) can I do it online somehow? Can i get a recharge voucher and just send her the code so she can activate it?

Cheers

Go to a dairy and get a voucher and text it to her and then she can text it in? Worked for a mate when in aussie.

Easiest is to just TXT her a voucher code and she can forward it back to 777.

Except since they pay to recive texts, will they get one without credit? Hmmmm....

You don't and never ever have paid to receive SMS's while roaming. SMS's to 777 are also zero rated while roaming.
