Vodafone SIM cards
I am visiting Spain next week from the USA and i own a Czech republic
Vodafone rechargeable SIM card from when I used to live in Prague. Is there anyway to recharge this SIM card when I arrive in Spain? The options listed on vodafone.cz website say i can recharge by ATM, a voucher or bank transfer, but the bank transfers only work from a Czech bank account which I lack. Does anyone know if a Spanish vodafone voucher would work to recharge a Vodafone czech SIM card? |

You can top up using a local voucher in the foreign country you have travelled to. |

: Martin wrote in : Vodafone expires after 6 months. Pocketing the credit is theft IMO. I think it varies among countries because different regulations apply. According to a court ruling some time ago in Germany, they may not pocket the credit, but they may still expire the SIM if there is no activity for some amount of time. How does that work? Does the credit just evaporate? Or can the customer reclaim it when they reactivate/buy a new card? -- Tim C. |

What Wolfgang said applies to Germany. When I complained in a UK Vodafone shop I was told to read the T&C. I know. I was replying to Wolfgang's post about what happens in Germany. I wanted to know how the Germans handle the unused credit in an expired card. I thought that was prety obviousI looked on the vodafone.de (CallYa) site but I'm buggered if I can find anything about the cards expiring at all. -- Tim C. |

That's why I said the conditions applied everywhere. http://www.vodafone.nl/english/prepa...=14182_exp_ldb I AM NOT RECOMMENDING THIS CARD!!!! Afaict that product isn't offered in Germany: although you can top it up there of course. So I suspect conditions my well be different for the "equivalent German product" ie CallYa. I am only guessing as I still can't find any info on cancelling the cards on the .de site. They're as bad as RyanAir at information dissemination. -- Tim C. |
