They are offering the service of recharging an existing SIM card for the fee of 2Euros + amount you want on the card. They offer to pay by using Paypal which I find very handy. Anyone used their services?

Can you do that while the cell phone is in the USA? While at home and I turn on my cellular with a TIM SIM card, it goes into AT&T network and I'm unable to check airtime balance.

Really? Where do you live? What country is the TIM SIM from?

Hi, If you use your phone: go to messages text, then type your message, then enter the address 4916 then ok to send.
I am doing it from Canada and it works perfectly. Here it comes with Rogers network, but because I am using my TIM SIM, I receive my messages in Italian. Should work with AT&T as well. I sent an SMS and I received the reply 1-2 min later. It is an SMS with my ballance. This is very handy.

Problem is the Top Up Service link for Tim does not work.
The link doesn't work but I have contacted the company by email an they answered within 1-2 hours. Then if needed they invoice you through paypal.
FYI I found Telestial offers a top up service for the Italian TIM SIM card on their website. I too received an email response from saveonroaming but I am a little worried about using the service because the website is now a listing of sponsored links.
Hello everyone, I just recharged my TIM SIM card using www.saveonroaming.net and it went like a breeze. Everything very smooth, payed through paypal and was able to put 10E and received a confirmation right away from both the company and from TIM on my GSM phone. So, normally should be able to keep my number for another year.
Hi, When I requested info I could find the site in English and German, but it looks like they restructure it. In any case, I contacted them by email info@saveonroaming.net in English and got all the answers really fast and they provided their email for paypal (this is not the same as the info one). I provided them with my phone number, so they could do this. They sent me an invoice for requested amount plus fees, and after I paid through my paypal account(you can pay anyone who has an email address), I received confirmation from TIM on my cell phone with my new balance and another for the recharge amount.
