Greek Vodafone top up in UK

Does anyone know how to use a UK bought top up voucher to top up a Greek
Vodafone, dialling 2345 or 1268 gets a set of instructions in Greek which
is a bit too much of a challenge for my limited Greek

I doubt that you could use a UK voucher to top-up a phone on a Greek
network. Surely you'd need to obtain a voucher from Greece to do that.

According the the Greek Vodafone website I can, it says the procedure is
simple :-)

Tried Vodafone UK customer service, they suggested texting the voucher
number to 2345 - that didn't work and no, the instructions are only in
Greek.

You're right. I'd never seen that before. That's a good idea for
Vodafone to provide that kind of service. I just hope you can work out
how to use it.

Success ! as your last paragraph, didn't enter the mobile number, just the
voucher number followed by any # and then any other number to continue -
had to do that twice IIRC

Thank you
