Data is automatically capped when you reach your limit (it will slow down considerably but with no additional charges), however, minutes and texts cannot be capped. It is the users responsibility to control these. There is a "My O2" app that you can download to keep an eye on usage.

Hi Andrew and Welcome to the Forum,

In hindsight maybe a Payg account would have been more adequate if your worried at even this early stage of letting your son use the allowances in the Monthly Contract.

What I would do now is order a Payg Sim card in readiness and tell him if he's breaches his minutes, then you would remove the contract sim, and he will have to use the Payg sim until the anniversary date that the allowances refresh.

Even if its an empty threat it may make him be careful.
