right, i've got the sim and i've got a topup code - what now?!! (orange FR)

[ca-uk]

Hello

I'm still having fun trying to get my Orange FR sim card ready for my trip.

I bought a SIM card off ebay.

I bought a topup code (recharge) off ebay.

I've registered on orange.fr but have a slight problem in that i don't know what the 4 digit security code is - and i don't speak french so don't know how i will communicate with customer services!

Now, does anyone know how i topup my sim with the recharge code i got? Is there a number i can dial where i can do it without having to talk to anyone?

Thanks - i'm tearing my hair out on this one!!

I assume you are not in France right now...as long as you are roaming you dial in 224 followed by the sixteen digit code followed by send (you would do it slightly different if you are in France)...it will take a little while but you will get a message listing your new credit as well as the date they will steal your credit better known as an expiration date.....
