  Some banks charge a fee for transferring to another country. Check your bank statement.

  Don't know if you have any  Euro accounts or a relationship with your bank that will enable you to exchange Sterling free of charge ?

  I use a Visa debit card and (generally speaking), I get 500c's or $5 for around £3.28, with no bank charges....Contact your bank and negotiate with your personal advisor maybe...?

  When I used put credits into the game by card, 2000cr was between £13 - £14.

  By using a mobile phone I used to gets between 2000 - 2100cr for £10. 

  Mobile phone was and I guess still is the best exchange rate available.

  Under the buy credits, go to change billing information, scroll down and tick the mobile phone box. There are offering 2205cr for £10 as I type. 

  Don't think the network provider makes any difference.
