Reduce my bills and manage my spending

It’s a good idea to find out what’s included in your mobile plan and what services you might be paying extra for.

Check your plan costs:

For example, if photo messages aren’t included in your mobile plan you'll be charged extra for sending them. To reduce these costs, you may need to try sending fewer photo messages or get an add-on. 

You’ll use data if your device connects to the internet over our network.

Things like normal browsing and email only use a small amount of data, whereas others like watching videos, running apps in the background, sending messages through WhatsApp or messenger, using sat nav on your device or playing games online can use significantly more.

You can’t go over your data allowance. We’ll text you when you’ve used 80 per cent and again when it runs out. There are no hidden charges.

You could consider turning off your device’s ability to switch to mobile data when out of Wi-Fi range.

A Spend Cap can help you limit usage outside of your monthly allowance by restricting your use of services like roaming and photo messaging, so you can stay in control of your bill. We’ll text you if you're close to reaching your cap.
