Alert on minutes balance

[Anonymous]

For the first time in years I have gone over my minutes allowance!  I only realised when O2 text me, so like I said this very rarely happens!  I've gone over my minutes at the cost of an extra £75! *gulp*

Just so this doesnt happen again (and I can afford to eat in the future) is there a way I can set an alert on my phone which tells me that I'm almost out of minutes?  I do have the O2 app which is fantastic but I rarely check it because I always keep within my allowance.

Does such an alert exist?

If you send a text with the word BALANCE to 21202 you will receive a reply with the remainder of your talk minutes and texts. It does not tell you how much data you have left.

Its a case of self control !

Bambino has hit the nail on the head.

Why not set a reminder in your phone to check your remaining bundles in your tariff once a week !
