while trying to add the my SIM I found 3 ways to check the balance and add money, so I figured I'd I'd post them in case the adding money portion works for someone else.
checking the balance
- * dial *123# and a message will pop up on your cellphone with the balance
* call 4916 from your cellphone and you'll get a message announcing your balance (free call, sometimes it takes several tries for it to go thru)
* send the message PRE CRE SIN via SMS to 4916
adding money from a ricarica card
- * dial *123*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX# where the X's are the secret code from the ricarica card
* call 4916 from your cellphone and choose option 0
* send the message RIC XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX via SMS to 4916
Note: for calls to 4916 it is possible to have your account configured at the TIM store so that the prompts when you call 4916 are in english. I'm guessing it may also be possible to do this thru the 4916 menu choices itself, but don't know for sure.
I did not try the web for adding to the card since it is in italian (which I do not speak), and I think you have to set up a password for your account at the TIM store.
