    If you mean an Irish Vodafone pay-as-you-go phone, then one can top them up with AIB online banking and ATM machines.

    I am not sure of other Banks ATM, but i THINK BAnk of Ireland also offer such facilities.

    Atm machines (BOI or AIB) or AIB online is your best bet here.

    Get a mate to call into a Vodafone shop in Ireland and get them to credit the amount to the number you are using in oz.

    Vodafone Ireland customers can top up with Vodafone Australia vouchers, so I imagine its the same vice versa. Maybe give them a call (+61 414 141 414 , taken from site) and see if they accept Irish vouchers, then text a voucher PIN onto your mate

    Tried vodafone oz but theres nothing they can do with setting up an acc without an oz cc! Also you can only buy the recharge cards in the shop but i found this site http://www.mobux.com.au/ that worked yay :) Thanks all!
