@AnonymousMy suggestion is to change him to PAYG. Once he runs out that's it.
Or you could increase his tariff for more data, thats up to you. It would certainly be a cheaper option than buying more data bolt ons.
You asked for no parenting advice so I won't give it....other than say he HAS to learn to take responsibility for his own actions. Not sure of his age... but if he exceeds his limits then he should pay for it.

Thanks. This has crossed my mind. I am in the fortunate position that the cost is not a problem. What bugs me is the principle of him ignoring boundaries and O2 not giving a ###t. Giving him more data would be to reward: a) his inability to use it wisely; b) his inability to follow rules; c) other stuff that bugs me.
Can we uninvent phones and the internet?
Sadly not @Anonymous but it's an idea. Not sure people today could cope without mobiles though...:smileywink:

O2 offer a bolt-on, called Your Family (i think) at £6/month on one mobile, that allows up to 5 mobiles to have free calls between them (contract or payg) which means even with 0 credit on a payg, call and text is possible from any family member to any other.
Worth considering, as you decide how to move on your son's current habit, @Anonymous.
