SIM control panels: which has low credit warning sent by email?

Hello

anyone knows any UK payg service that allows, through their web control panel, to have a low credit warning (or credit left) sent to someone's email?

if not, is there any web control panel (always UK payg SIM's) that shows the credit left?

I tell you the problem: I need to put a SIM card inside a home alarm panel. If I want to know the credit left, I should remove the SIM from the panel, put it inside a cellphone and check it manually. This is not confortable. So I was looking to buy a payg SIM card which will let me check for the credit left (or receive a warning email) when the credit is low.

Any other idea is also welcoe.

Thanks


PS: for reasons too long to explain I cannot just set the auto top-up...

    Ovivo

    O2 have "View your balance" option online, but it doesn't work for me, probably because of some mess resulting from my my previous account being Pay Monthly.

    At Tesco mobile you can login only with a one-off PIN sent by a text.

    Yes you certainly can check credit with Ovivo.

    AFAIK you can also do this with Giffgaff

    I would have thought that many PAYG mobile operators have this facility. Certainly any that allow you top online would allow you to check credit online.

    Which network are you using now that can't show you your balance on its web site? This sounds very unusual.
  • For this application, which you really need to work, a specialist provider might be best.

    There are others with a similar offer but Exa ( http://www.exa-networks.co.uk/business/connectivity/mobile ) is worth consideration.
