Not yet. Officially, they are not allowed to block at least EU cards as their is a new service directive out from the EU not to do so. But it seems to have limited effect so far.

I will tell you my secret way to top-up Orange and other Spanish SIM cards as only Vodafone accepts credit cards from out of the country. If you are not urgent, try http://www.bedacom.es/ That's a small mobile store down in Málaga. I will visit them soon at location. When you go to Recargas de Móvil online y Pines and further to Nacionales you can order a top-up to almost every Spanish provider (Orange included). You have to enter your Spanish phone no. 6######## in the ver menu twice, pick amount add to your cart. When you then choose SEPA transfer as a payment system and do the SEPA transfer, they will top-up without fees (as long as currency stays within €). No guarantee that it works as you send them money and it's a small cellphone store, but it worked with me last year.
