The Problem of Running Out of Credit
We’ve all been there – you’re in the middle of an important conversation when suddenly, your phone alerts you that you’ve run out of credit. This can be frustrating, especially if you need to make a call urgently. But don’t worry; we have some solutions for you.
Calling Without Credit With Tim
If you’re a TIM customer, you may know about the service 4088 For Me, which allowed you to debit the cost of your call from the sender’s credit. Unfortunately, this service has been disabled since September 2020. However, there is another option available:
- Call the free number 40916 and follow the voice guide instructions.
- Enter the numbers 0 to get information on the service SOS Ricarica and initiate the procedure.
- Enter the numbers 1 to debit the credit from your account.
Alternatively, if you receive an SMS from TIM offering you the SOS Ricarica service, simply respond with “Yes” to activate it.
Calling Without Credit With Vodafone
Vodafone customers also faced a similar issue when their service 4088 For Me was disabled in September 2020. However, there is another option available:
- Call the free number 42010 and listen to the voice guide.
- Select the option 2 to activate the SOS Ricarica service.
This will provide you with an immediate credit of 3 euros, which can be topped up later with a small surcharge of 1.50 Euros.
Calling Without Credit With Windtre
WINDTRE customers may not have access to the SOS Ricarica service, but there are other ways to top up your credit:
- Use the WINDTRE app available for Android and iOS.
- Visit the WINDTRE website and fill out the form in the section “Ricarica”.
- Purchase a scratch card with 5 or 10 euros at a WINDTRE shop.
- Make a normal top-up, either online or at an edicola or tabacchino.
Alternative Solutions
If you’re not satisfied with your mobile operator’s options, there are other ways to call without credit:
- Use an app for instant messaging available on Android and iOS. These apps support “normal” calls or video calls.
- Employ a software program on your computer (available for Windows and Mac) that allows you to make calls via the internet.
Conclusion
