Set monthly spend cap to zero?

[drmrbrewer]

When setting the monthly spend cap there is a drop-down with options ranging from £5 to £200.  Having an option to set the cap at £0 would be a lot more useful than an option to set it to £200 (really?  does anyone ever seriously contemplate being happy to spend up to £200 extra per month?).

Surely there is a way to set the monthly spend cap at zero?  If not, there should be!  Come on BT!

I should add that our household has six BT SIMs between us, so even with the cap at £5 we could be spending up to £30 extra per month, which is not acceptable.  Might look at EE instead.

I agree. I complained to BT about this when our children kept going over their spend. There is no reason for them not to set the cap at £0!

Think about it - they're a budget network, they don't have the customer base of an MNO. EE, O2, Vodafone and Three don't need or care for the extra £5 per customer thats likely to exceed their usage. Whereas an MVNO will hold on to that possibility for extra revenues.
Common business practices I'm afraid

Just because something is common does not make it right.

I have mine set at £200 on all my Family SIMs. I need the flexibility when roaming.

I appreciate that drmrbrewer but there's a lot of things that are common in the world, right or wrong is subjective to each person
