Hi all,

I'm in the UK but want to top up an Orange Poland SIM account -

My first thought was to grab an Orange e-voucher in the UK and use the *125# routine, but UK Orange e-vouchers (I have one here for ?10) have a 12 digit code, whilst Orange Poland e-vouchers have a 14 digit code!

Anyone any ideas please?

Thanks / Steve

This won't work, but not because of the different number of digits but because Polish top-up codes don't work on foreign networks and vide-versa .

I've checked a few online top-up services (including the one on orange.pl) and they won't let you top-up online with a foreign card or money transfer from abroad .

You need either a Polish Orange code or to ask somebody in Poland to top-up your account online or via ATM.....

Aha - thanks Mr P - I was afraid of this.

I know that Orange UK e-vouchers will work in France and Israel (and, I think vice versa) but I guess because Orange PL is/was the Idea network, that's why its vouchers are incompatible.

No major worries - my SO is travelling to Poland later this month and I wanted the SIM pre-charged, as it were. I'll get her to take a faitfuly Riiing/United Mobile SIM instead and top up the Orange she arrives.

And grab a few Polish e-vouchers along the way!

Tx again / Steve
