woody1 · **Need to recharge my CoopVoce sim -** 13-04-2012, 16:59

I have a CoopVoce sim that I bought in Italy last year and it will expire soon. According to their website, I can recharge with 5 Euro and it will be good for a year. The problem is that it appears that I need to receive an SMS message from the website to be able to create an account and recharge the phone.

I can't get my phone to connect to a network in the US so that I can receive the SMS. Does anybody know a way that I can set up the phone for US roaming so that I can receive the SMS? Or, otherwise, does anyone know another way to to recharge without having the phone working?

I don't want to have to go through the hassle of getting another card when I'm back in Italy the next time; it was a very cumbersome process, having to convince the guys at the shop that my Codice Fiscale was valid, etc.
