Many of the British telcom PAYG services have this idiotic policy of only accepting UK credit cards for top ups....O2 is apparently one of them. Of course this flies against the international nature of credit cards and the amounts involved are rarely large enough to make fraud a problem but that's the way it is.

I'm afraid about the only way is to have your wife's friend buy a voucher an get you the number.

I'm afraid the only thing to do is to get your wife's friend to buy a voucher but you know something, I am not sure that even this will work as you would have to dial a number to enter the voucher number and I'm not sure if the account is not activated whether this can be done.
