Hi and welcome to the forum.

Some ATM's allow the facility to top up.

Some banking App's allow top ups.

Till vouchers.

Family or friends can get you a top up in the uk from a till voucher.

O2 shops can top up an account from their in store tills if
You have someone in the Uk who can do this.

Before you left the Uk of you could have put a hefty top up on your account.

Another option is to see if your phone is unlocked to all networks and use a local SIM card.

Make sure any voicemail is turned off ,and use Wifi where you can.

Hi  @Anonymous 

Pretty much the same as my son when he was abroad. He rang me with his details and I did it for him using

my debit card. As he was on a different network to me (I was O2 and he was Orange) I had to do it by

ringing CS at Orange.

Other than that, someone in the UK would have to buy you a top up voucher and ring you with the code?

You say you don't have a UK credit card? Does that mean you have a card issued to the country you are in?

You could only top up via ATM if you have a card to do so. (It would also be dependent on the country you

are in...as not all international ATM's allow top-ups of phones other than in the country of origin

Hope all goes well. When I was on PAYG and went abroad I always ensured I topped up before I went... though always took my debit cards with me just in case wink

Might be worth opening a uk bank account to avoid the hassle in future
