I have two TIM SIMs for Italy. One it two years old and the other is one. Unfortunately I was not able to go to Italy this year. However, last year I purchased two 5-unit RICARICards thinking Maybe I could add the time from USA and get another year.
One phone seems to have connected the "US 410" network, and the screen reads, "AT&T."
I can't seem to get a message through either with *codes or sms. I did receive a text from "119" in Italian yesterday after I started trying to send the recharge code.
Is there possibly a TIM webpage that will allow me to add the airtime, or a code to use from the USA, or an access number I can call from here?
Thanks, brenda |
Brenda...I have the sim card in a Nokia phone and there is a menu item for TIM and one of the options is to use the ricarte to recharge but here's the problem....the Italian government has begun trying to enforce regulations requiring the card to be registered and with one of my previous cards purchase on ebay, I kept getting message to the effect, as I could best figure out from my very limited knowledge of Italian, that the card could not be topped up because it was not registered.
The really good news is that buying a new one is not expensive at all; but you will have to furnish your contacts with the new number of course.
