Surprising phone credit message...

I got an email today recommending I top up the home phone credit when I'm at less than 20% of the limit! Is that expected or reasonable do you think? 

 

Message was...

What you should do

We suggest that you top-up your Home Phone call credit.
If you reach your credit threshold, an administration fee of £5.76 would be charged on your next subscription payment.

Re: Surprising phone credit message...

What’s reasonable very much depends on the nature of usage. We’ve seen users making some calls which quickly consume their credit with very few calls. Waiting until the credit is all but exhausted might leave them with not enough time to avoid surcharges.

It’s better that one is informed sooner allowing time for action, than being too late to effect action.

Also it is only a suggestion that you pay for your calls now.  If you don't do it, and you don't make enough chargeable calls to put you over the credit limit, then they will just be added to your next bill.
