If you have a Vodafone SIM card, you can stop at any Tobacconist's shop (with a big blue "T" sign) or Vodafone store for a RICARICA (recharge). If your skill with Italian permits you, give the store clerk your cell phone number and money and let him/her do the recharging for you. Otherwise, purchase a Recharge card (they come in different Euro amounts) and follow these directions:
- Scratch the grayish box on the lower right-hand of the card corner using a coin or something sharp.
- From your cell phone, call the free number 42010 and follow the oral instructions you will receive, in Italian...
- After the first pause, press 1.
- After the 2nd pause, enter the "secret" code that you just scratched out.
- After the voice reads back the number, press 1 to confirm.
- After the voice reads back your cellular phone number, press 1 to confirm that.
- Wait a few seconds for final confirmation.
- Wait for a text message of confirmation before throwing away the recharge card.
If you cannot use your cell phone, call the toll-free number 348-200-2010 from another phone or go online at http://www.vodafone.it and access your personal area (Area Personale) "190 Fai da te".
