Might be tricky to buy e-vouchers if the op has no suitable card at all or doesn't want to use one online (at least that's how I understand their query?)
If e-vouchers are on the table, recharge.com has worked for me in the past, but, apparently, it has higher fees than muskbird.com (which I don't have personal experience with)

Your best option is to follow @wetcoaster post to start up and then pay by voucher. Suggest to pay one month ahead too. Then spend the balance of the Vanilla card for what ever. A $25 Vanilla will cost you around $30. If you use some ones referral code that will defray your costs by $10.

Another option: Get one of the prepaid credit cards.
Vanilla Mastercard worked flawlessly for my friend.
Be aware that paying with a prepay cc will deduct the plan cost plus tax from the card value. If you add funds to your account with a voucher, only plan cost will be deducted from your available funds (the voucher amount is subject to tax at the point of sale [ = in the store or at check-out with the online vendor if applicable]).
