Topping up 02 using a non-UK credit card

[SimonC1]

I visited the UK in March and bought a Pay as you go UK number.

I'm trying to top up using my South African credit card but am unable to do so as the 02 site insists on the card address having a UK postal card. I'm not sure why it wont accept foreign codes and foreign cards.

Anyone know how to get around this?

Use an online service or buy a voucher when in the UK.

No way can you get round it with the foreign card @SimonC1 

*You can use a voucher (If a friend in the UK can buy one for you)

* Same with a card (if they are with O2 and have a UK card registered on the system.

* Or you can use paypal to top up using this site https://www.mobiletopup.co.uk/o2

Just a word of warning though. O2 only allow their phones to be used for 63 days per annum when you are abroad. (Holiday usage) After that time they will cut you off.

It might be better if you looked for a South African sim if you are there for a long time.
