Recharging (Topping-up) Your SIM Card:
There are several ways to add talk time to your Mobile World prepaid account. You can call a customer service number and add more credit before you even depart for the UK. Unlike most foreign carriers, Mobile World takes credit cards based from US banks. You can also call to add more time once in the UK. Recharge vouchers can be purchased at over 600 Carphone Warehouse Stores in the United Kingdom. Once you have the card:

E-Vouchers are also available from thousands of outlets throughtout the UK wherever there is a yellow PayPoint or green Top-up logos. E-Vouchers are availible in £5, £10 and £20 values only. Once the customer has purchased this voucher then they need to call 08000 499 000 - choose option 1 (topup) and then option 2 (e-voucher topup)

By the way, even if you have zero credit—since incoming calls are always free—you will still be able to receive calls.

Checking Your Call Credit:
You may check your credit at any time calling 08000 499 000 from your cell phone. If the call is made from the mobile - the balance will be immediately conveyed. If made from another phone then use option 2 (balance) and a text message will be sent with the balance. (08000 499 000 is charged at 15p/minute as are all 0800 numbers from MobileWorld.)
