    You might be able to top it up online:
    http://www.vodafone.es/
    .... I assume you can read Spanish.

    Thanks, but it won't work until I in person have used my
    credit card to top up at a Spanish Bank's ATM

    So - has anybody got the secret of how to top up
    a Spanish Vodafone Pay as You Go in the UK......?

    When I topped up my UK Voda PAYG phone while in Spain I used a scratch
    card I bought at a Vodafone desk in the Corte Inglés, and I had to phone
    the robot and choose international topups (I think) to read in the number
    from the card. I would have expected it to be quite similar the other way
    round.

    Good luck,

    Agustin

    Thanks.
    I tried that - in a Vodafone shop. The saleslady agreed that I had
    entered the number in the way instructed - but it still would not work.

    Going back to Spain I was able to top up with cash.
    But the story gets worse.
    My non-Spanish credit card was not accepted for topup in an ATM.
    So unless you
    1 Get a Spanish Credit Card.
    2 Use the PIN to top up first in a Spanish ATM.
    You will not be able to top via the Internet in the UK or elsewhere.
    - unless somebody else has found the secret.

    Seriously though, I have been trying to work out why there is a problem.
    I read that some countries will not sell a SIM without some form of
    identity check. Others, like the UK, do not bother.
    I am guessing that Spain has taken a middle way, as using a credit
    card in an ATM with a PIN is an indirect route to having a tab on
    who owns a particular mobile phone number.
