    I think you can only use an SBT card to do this

    Innocent's right, you need a SBT card. Virgin is one of the more popular ones, and is one of the MBNA stable, all of which allow SBT. Here's a list of other SBT cards: http://www.stoozing.com/sbt.php

    Bear in mind that most of those are issued by MBNA.
