    I have a Uk 02 payg mobile which is out of credit. I can't accept calls because when I switch it on here it's roaming and I have to pay for calls and data usage.

    You can't top up online unless you have a Uk registered debit or credit card which I don't and I don't know anyone who can purchase a voucher for me at short notice and send me the topup number so I found the link above from googling it but finding it hard to figure out whether I can trust it or not as it might be the soloution I'm looking for if it works.

    I believe https means that you have a secure connection with the website. That means the information you give them should be encrypted and not visible to others (for the most part). Whether or not the website is trustworthy, that is a different matter which I'm trying to establish.

    https only means there's security on the transaction, and has pretty much nothing to do with the trustworthiness of the company.

    This site has zero proper contact info. Why do that? It also uses a whois privacy service for hiding domain registration details. Why do that? The site design, content and process aren't great either. Trust level seems too low imo, so I would not use.

    No related to that website but why don't you top-up from the o2.uk website.
