contract price capping?

[monkey tennis]

hi guys can anyone tell me if any of the phone companys do a price capping on their contract phones. payg is ok but am looking for a contract phone for free but want to stop over spend every month as it is not for my use. just looking for some peace of mind. thanks in advance.

Generally when u take out a contract you get a credit limit, mine has always been £100 then after a few months raised to £250 but from what I remember Line rental and bolt ons do not count as part of the limit and also from the first contract I had, 7 years ago, the limit was only for calls, it was quite easy to go over the limit with txts, everytime I have had my limit increased the letter/txt has always said If i wish to revert to the standart limit just to give CS a call, I presume that can put on a lower limit than what they first suggest if u ask them

O2 certanlly do a mate worked in a phone shop and got a contract phone for his sister and capped it at £50 a month, i would have thought most companies would do this.

I am not aware of any cap on my orange contract.

And I am aware of a friends daughter running up a £530 bill one month on her phone given to her as a present for 'emergency use' - something to do with a new boyfriend. lol. This was O2

orange are a pain with it u have to request a bar wen u want to stop (defies the point really)
and voda are a pain too

the t mobile u fix might be the best safe solution to be honest
