Home Phone call credit threshold reminder

Why do I keep getting messages telling me I have used £6 out of an allowance of £75 and I should top up. I would not use £75 in a year!

Re: Home Phone call credit threshold reminder

@bogart99 Hiya, I'm not sure of the system that decides when to send the emails but agree it could have been worded better. I guess the system isn't clever enough to look at your usage patterns to dynamically inform you on when to top up. Perhaps I can suggest setting up an email rule to put this type of notification in a folder.

Not sure what you mean by setup and email?

Re: Home Phone call credit threshold reminder

What kind of email client are you using @bogart99 ?

Re: Home Phone call credit threshold reminder

Using an email client message filter does not seem like the right solution here. The system ought not to be sending these messages and that is what needs fixing.

There used to be a spend cap / warning option on accounts, but I cannot find that in the modified portal. Does this user have a low cap / threshold which gives rise to these messages?

Re: Home Phone call credit threshold reminder

I have no idea where the £75  figure came from or how it is arrived at. As I have used at most £6 or £7 in the occasional month on overseas calls which obviously get paid off when payment is taken seems stupid saying I should up it from £75.

I will just put it down to another Plusnet anomoly.

I have had exactly the same thing.

I called Plusnet today to find out what's going on, and at what point this £75 "credit limit" was added.

Was not able to get any clear response - so still don't get it.

I am the same as you - maybe 1 or 2 calls a month overseas - way short of this £75 number which I never agreed to in the first place - and they keep asking me to top it up.

Guessing none of this will matter soon, as they are planning to switch home phones off anyway?

@bogart99 Do you need me to check on it at all for you?
