    My son keeps going over his inclusive minutes.....is there any way on orange with a blackberry that I can barr any calls after the limit is reached >

    Once your contract is up you could try going with T-Mobile (they now share networks with Orange so if you have good coverage now then you don't have the gamble of going with another network only to find that they have poor coverage in your area).

    They offer the UFIX plan which is a monthly contract and gives you a monthly allowance, but if you want to spend over that you have to top your phone up PAYG style.

    I used to call the network and say I had mislaid the phone, so could they bar all calls on it when my step daughters kept going over their allowance.

    Once they had been without it for a week, it began to sink in and they controlled their usage after that.

    I then called the network and had the bar removed.

    I am perfectly happy with my phone and contract and I can't get onto my account online - it's nothing to do with wanting out of anything. It simply won't let me log on anymore even though it has done for over a year *shrugs shoulders*

    So did you clear the cache and try a different browser?
    If others are getting on succesfully, then it is one of those or you are not input the log in correctly, or are the other posters better than you?

    Make him pay for them. Take it out of any pocket money due even if it leaves him with nothing for several weeks. Better to learn the ramifications now than when he gets to 18.
