Spanish SIM Top-Up in UK (Read 16,013 times)

malc77 Newbie Offline Posts: 1 Gender:	Spanish SIM Top-Up in UK Dec 1^st, 2007 at 6:45pm I have an ORANGE Spanish Sim and have to top up every 12 months or lose number and balance. Can I top up by purchasing a top up card in UK? If not whats the best way to do it (without visiting Spain- and without using their website as my Spanish is poor!) Thanks.....Margaret

One possibility is to use [url]Babelfish( http://babelfish.altavista.com/[/url]) to translate the Orange wesbite in Spain - www.orange.es

Orange Spain have a customer service number where you can ask for an English speaking service agent.
The number is 00 34 656 00 14 70 which is premium rate (around 15p/min).

Just say: habla usted ingles? and they will transfer you. It is probably best to call on a weekday.

I got the number from the Orange Spain website:

Do you have internet banking with a Spanish bank? I can top-up via the menu on my Solbank account. One low tech solution might be to get someone in Spain to buy a voucher for you and post/e-mail/phone the number to you. The only thing is that in Spain you have a short code number to get to the top-up service and I don't know if there is a full number that you can dial from the UK.
