That probably depends as much on your bank as anything else. I
frequently use my UK credit card on USAnian and French web stores.
You will need a card with a CVV2 security code (see
http://www.21club.com/web/oe/oe_c0a_card_security.jsp, for example).
Then, check this bit from T-mobile's web site:
"First, you'll need to register your credit or debit card details in
My T-Mobile. Topping up is part of the card registration process.
Next time you need credit, simply log in to My T-Mobile and select
'Top up now'.
Make sure you have a registered card handy because you'll need to
enter the last four digits and the three-digit security code on the
back.
Tip: When you register a card, our system checks whether the address
you entered when you signed up to My T-Mobile matches the card billing
address. If the addresses don't match, the maximum you'll be able to
top up online in a 30-day period is £30.
If you want to top up more, register a card with a billing address
that matches the address in our records."
They clearly limit casual top-ups.
Why do you want to do this? do you travel to the UK? If so, you don't
need to use a credit card. You should have got a magnetic "swipe"
card with the sim that can be used to top it up for cash at loads of
retail outlets, or in bank cash dispenser machines.
