I still believe that calling to support customer care and asking them to 
provide an alternative way to recharge might come up with something

By alternative way I mean information like this: 

- call this short number  ... select 1 ... select 2 .. enter MSISDN ... 
enter recharge code

or 

send via sms the MSISND followed by recharge code or value 

or USSD


All these 3 are valid options in my country ...
