Just wondering if such a product exists. A friend has their t-mobile bill capped to guard against overspending and making chargeable calls, are there any landline providers who have such a feature?

Lots of phone companies give unlimited calls 24/7 (national and 0845), but not including other premium rate callls, for around £5.0

Absolutely not! For the simple reason (whether we like it or not) an INCOMING call can be billed to your telephone number - 0800 Reverse is a good example of this.
The line renter will always be held liable for usage - even if premium rate call barring has been activated!0 -

I didn't know that, thanks. Though I would have thought that those incoming calls could be blocked.
I was just curious if there was a way (other than having no phone plugged in) to guard against unexpected bills.''He who takes no offence at anyone either on account of their faults, or on account of his own suspicious thoughts, has knowledge of God and of things devine.''0 -
BT offer a chargeable call feature that enables you to block certain outgoing calls.
There used to be a device called the Commtel Internet and Phone Guard to restrict outgoing numbers, but its not available to buy anymore.0
