Orange contract can you set it not to go over your allowance?

The Orange billing system for pay monthly doesn't run in real time and can lag by as much as 24/48 hours. So there's no way you'll get an actuate idea of your usage.

The 3 system works because it's a much newer and had the feature built in from concept. With the sheer number's being 'let go' at Orange at the moment, I can't see the billing system getting an overhaul any time soon. . .

24/48 hours behind? I've never known it to be more then 1-2 hours behind since it was updated a few years back.

Not loving Orange as thier response to this request was to try and get me to upgrade the tariff so I would have more free minutes....
Apart from 3, do any of teh other providers offer teh option to cap at the end of your 'free' allowance for minutes/texts/data?

Yet another proof to support this position.

I'm not an idiot, it's not there. Maybe for an iphone tariff, but I simply cannot view my data usage.

It's not iPhone. Ordinary Dolphin 25.

It takes about 10 seconds for the information to appear in the frame. It's two orange horizontal bars (similar to progress bars) showing minutes and data.

Strange
I have minutes on the top and data below.
I don't have MMS included though.

I guess they have only two positions on the webpage to show the bundles and their IT department is too busy developing their crapware for handsets to find some time for improving the website.

Maybe its to do with being on panther.
