how easy is it to keep up with costs on a contract.

vicki+1

thanks in advance for your help.

i had a contract phone once about 10 years ago and have since been on PAYG. never had any problems when i had my last contract but it was a bit simpler then. i don't think it even did texts , lol. i paid £120 up front, got a phone and 45 minutes a month (for 12 months)and anything on top of that i was billed for.
So i am thinking of getting a contract, but i am a bit worried about losing track of what is free and what is included in the contract and racking up a massive bill.

is it wasy to check your spending and allowances as the month continues ?
Can you put a bar on spending more than a certain amount a month over your contract ?

TIA for your help

Normally you can do this online or over a free automated phone services.

Not all providers do this. Tesco mobile do (am not sure if it's for some or for all contracts), probably some others too.
