Abstract

The invention relates to a method for telephonically recharging a calling credit account for telephone units of a user. The inventive method comprises the following steps: The user calls (10) a provider. The user communicates (20) a user number to the provider. The user communicates (30) a PIN to the provider. The provider verifies (40) if the PIN is allocated to the user number and increases (50) the calling credit of the user by a determined amount. The invention also relates to a telephone card (100) with a chip (110). The telephone number of the provider and the user number can be stored on said chip.
