Re: Help !!! How Do I Reduce My Credit Limit?

Welcome to the forum.
I appreciate your quandary.
You can reduce the credit limit by raising a ticket to request it - I did.
However that probably won't solve your problem as when you reach it all outgoing calls will be barred and there will be a charge added to your next bill http://www.plus.net/support/phone/home_phone/billing.shtml#howCredit

13. What if I use my credit before the end of the month?
If you reach your credit limit, all calls (apart from emergency 999/112 and operator) will be barred and a charge of £5.76 will be added to your next bill.
Before this happens, we'll email you as you reach £15, £10 and £5 available credit.
You'll need to top-up and have at least £5 credit available before we allow calls on your line again.
You can prevent this by topping up your credit through the month using the Home Phone Control Panel.
You can top-up by £5, £10, £25, £50, £75 or £100.
Would it be correct to assume that your problem is calls to mobiles. I don't know if there is a facility for blocking outgoing calls to a range of numbers but hopefully a Digital Care Team member will be along to advise

How about a device such as this? If they work, and I have no experience of using them, a one off charge may work out cheaper than paying a phone service provider each month.

Cancellation  0845 140 6002  09:00 – 17.30 every weekday (except Bank Holidays)
Be careful - are you talking about cancelling your account or moving to another supplier.
Cancelling will land you with cancellation charges.
If you want to move your broadband to another supplier then you should ask for a MAC code.
If you want to move your phone to another supplier you should contact the new supplier and they will arrange it.

Re: Help !!! How Do I Reduce My Credit Limit?

As I posted on your other thread - remove the phone and lock it away.

Re: Help !!! How Do I Reduce My Credit Limit?

Reading your other post it appears that you want to retain your broadband.
If this is the case and Plusnet can't offer it transfer your phone line to BT and enable Call Barring for a cost of £2.59 per month
http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25504 and click on Home Phone Security Features
If you want to cancel everything have a look here as this should tell you https://portal.plus.net/my.html?s=0&action=account_summary

Have a read of this http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumer/consumerProducts/pdf/BT_Calling_Features_Userguide.pd...
I don't believe there is a charge as you probably paid for the initial phone line installation up front

Re: Help !!! How Do I Reduce My Credit Limit?

As a further point - I assume that you are on one the new packages.
Have you restricted the cost of your broadband https://portal.plus.net/data_transfer_watch/

Re: Help !!! How Do I Reduce My Credit Limit?

Hi nero,
Thanks for your time on the phone - as discussed the order for outbound call barring has been placed and should complete for you later on this afternoon.
I hope that helps, and sorry for all the hassle.
