Why doesn't O2 top-up service allow to pay with PayPal?

I'm guessing there's a legitimate reason, but it would make life SO MUCH easier, well, for me at least So... why don't they allow paying with PayPal, or foreign bank cards?

Hi

Although I appreciate what your saying isn't their enough ways right now to top up.

E top up
Voucher
ATM
Banking apps
O2 shop
Auto top up
Uk cards

I'm pretty OCD about my bank account so I wouldn't want to use Paypal.

Well, my main problem, I guess, is being foreign and not in UK right now I also don't have a UK bank account (yet, anyway), so topping up is a pain when you need to transfer the money to 10 accounts before being able to do it So none of the options work for me now

Do you know someone in the uk that could top up for you ?

[Janiite]

I do, and this is exactly what solved my today's mini crisis, but I just wish there was at least the option to use my lovely foreign bank card, which can be used to top-up other UK numbers, btw But it's not the huge problem of the century; this post, I guess, is more of a "wouldn't it be great if..." thought

Maybe in the future O2 will allow the use of foreign bank cards. I'm assuming it's logistics.

I don't see why Paypal couldn't be introduced now esp as it is used for so many other purchases across the internet these days.
It's a good idea mate
