My son always runs his bill too high (and I pay for it ) 02 advised there is an app so I can put a block once he has reached his quota and this can be done from another phone (mine) anyone know of an app?

Personally I'd ask O2 what app they are talking about, but there is also a review of some of the more popular apps here http://www.techradar.com/news/the-best-free-parental-control-software

I'd be inclined to give him a pay as you go phone if he keeps doing this & once his credit or allowances run out then he can't use it

He's 21, was made redundant a month ago. The phone is on my plan (it worked out cheaper ) he was paying his own bill but while he's job hunting I am paying for it. He has alway run over but it wasn't a problem when he was paying. 02 said (via chat ) there is an app I can put on my phone to Barr outgoing calls when he reached his quota. I have looked in the app store but it confused me!

Go back and ask them the name of the app and we'll check it out for you.

Would moving him to a higher plan not help resolve the issue... Or just cancel and tell him he's on his own
