Ring PN or create a question (help assistant) , usually pretty immediate response.
I reduced my limit very easily.

Quote 10. What happens if I use my credit before the end of the month?
As you approach your credit limit, we'll email you to make sure you know that you're getting close.
If you reach or go over your credit limit, your calls (apart from emergency and operator) will be redirected to our Support Team and a charge of £5.76 will be added to your next bill.
You'll need to top-up and have at least £5 credit available before you can make calls again.

Thanks for pointing that out, I was unaware of that penalty.
Still I suppose a charge of £5.76 is better than an unauthorised bill of £ lots of money.
And calls would be blocked until £5 credit added.
Is there a way around that, ie block calls after limit reached with no penalty ?

Your only option seems to be to move to BT or other phone service provider that permits one (at a price) to control phone calls with the use of a PIN.

One possibility is to install a payphone (but the problem then is how to lock the phone's plug into the phone socket to prevent it being bypassed with another phone). Then by charging a premium on all phone calls you could recoup the cost of the payphone and your previous losses.

The next quarterly phone bill was a little larger than normal. Intead of the usual £100 or so it had crept up to a mere £750 for that quarter.
I found the act of me roaring into their bedrooms and ripping the phone from their wall sockets discouraged them from further excessive usage.

Logicom 352 Cordless Phone x 2
You tell your family you have it BT blocked with a special code.
Your own phone may already have this facility, hide the instruction book.

Quote from: laurencass thanks for your help everyone. looks like im just gonna have to deal with it and extract money out of someone! or possibly take the house phone with me whenever i go out haha
No need to take the whole phone, just remove the detachable short cable between phone and wallbox and take, or hide that.
