[Tagging] Vending: Cards for Prepaid mobile phone

[phil at trigpoint.me.uk]

I agree with Martin,  we should avoid the detail of how the topup is applied and would go for the British term topup, rather than credit.  Credit has implications of borrowing money.

Shops and filling stations will sell topups for other things, as well as mobile phones,  such as gas and electricity. Mobile phone topups can often be bought from ATMs too. Not 100%  sure,  but I may have already tagged this. 

I would propose that we use the following tags on shops/filling stations /ATMs and other places I haven't thought of.

topup =mobile_phone  
tooup=gas
topup=electric
