This is a new one, you should be able to top it up by putting the sim into the camera and connecting to the network.

Doing it in your phone won't work as you found out.

If you can't get the camera to connect there are other ways of topping up here, but use the number of the camera card (should be on the pack it came in):

I bet their eyes popped out in the shop!

It has wi-fi too so you can transfer pictures if you have wi-fi at home.

Let me know how you got on with this... trying to use a giff gaff sim (o2) and tried an o2 sim but wont connect, but will connect with T-mobile and suspect the three sim that came with it. - I think my one is Network locked (Not happy!)

There's a set up guide here but I can't use it as you need the serial number:

If it locks at all it's likely to lock to the first sim card used.

If it will work with T Mob and Three it won't be locked. Can't see how a camera could be network locked anyway unless you are buying one subsidised from one of the networks.
