I bought 3 more Reglo sims in August. It seems it's tougher to get them activated properly now. I went to a larger Leclerc store which had a dedicated mobile phone desk and did all the paper work with my passport there and then. The sims worked immediately but then stopped working after 2 hours. In order to activate them I had to provide an IBAN of a bank account. My Swiss account seemed to work just fine! Once the sims were properly activated I could add them to the customer portal and then top up using my Swiss credit card as normal. I also deregistered my Swiss bank account in the portal.

If I did it again I would try to register them to the portal as soon as possible after purchase Then it might be possible to top up with a credit card and avoid having to set a bank account at all.
