    No. Not with orange. A prepay SIM self limits use. Giffgaff offers similar minutes to the orange contract plans for about the same price. So see if you can cancel the contract and switch to prepay.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    No, but perhaps it may work out cheaper to increase the inclusive minutes bundle.

    4 months is not too bad. Check the allowance daily and confiscate phone if it appears the limit will be exceeded.

    If it your contract and not your sons then
    You could login to Orange account and check there

    That's what i do about every other day.

    Make sure he pays for it. My son never goes over since I charged him when he went over.
