Problem Recharging Phone With Credit Card

[ro2124]

I am currently in the Caribbean and I'm trying to recharge my phone via credit card. to cut a long story short I happen to have a sim card from O2 in Czech Republic, although at the moment wish I hadn't, they make it so damn difficult to recharge credit , the only place you seem to be able to do it is actually in the Czech Republic which is not a lot of use if you're outside of the country. problem is if I lose the number I would also not be able to access my bank online as is it linked to the mobile phone number and code is send every time I go online. so desperately trying to save the number before it's terminated permanently. contacted O2 but they were of no bloody use at all. they said yes it's possible with a credit card and gave me a web address of MasterCard. but there was nothing on that site anywhere for recharging phones with O2 ,so called MasterCard and they said no it's not possible.
but actually there is a site somewhere but is in Czech language which I used last year, but had a computer crash and cant find it again. looked everywhere on internet but nothing. anyone got any ideas how to solve this?

change your mobile number with the bank.

Thanks Buenchico..Yeah I tried that Masterpass thing apparently you have to download some app enter your credit card and it should work yeah well life isn't that simple unfortunately. because Sim validity actually expired today it would not accept payment and says not valid for payment, which seems rather stupid. the whole point of this is to recharge so its valid again. so at the moment the sim is still working but only for incoming. this would be okay as I normally use it only to receive code for the bank access, but I don't know if they will block Sim completely sooner or later if its not recharged which means I'm stuffed

Ahh further to last that message about Sim blocked... in fact probably not related as I received the same message before I noticed, probably O2 informing me that the Sim needs recharging. so tried the masterpass app again but still no joy supposed to send an SMS with validation code but it doesn't.

Checked O2 again Regarding the Mastercard app, apparently you should download Masterpass At Cz Sk from Google apps. only problem is the damn thing doesn't exist which is bloody useful isn't it. only one I found on there is masterpass from Absa. it had Czech Republic on it and I entered my phone number. got message saying enter code sent to you phone by SMS except nobody sent a bloody SMS, so could not validate it. Bloody technology everywhere you look there's problems either windows bluetooth,Internet or whatever all fancy sites and press this and press that, and half the time the bloody things dont work and you have to spend half your life trying to fix it.. not exactly bloody Star Trek I have to say!
