When is my billing date?

Your next bill date will be shown in the My BT app and also when you log into My BT. This will be the same date that we bill you every month.

What does "My allowances" page show me?

The usage counts down so you'll be able to see what you've got left. We'll text you when you hit between 80 per cent and 100 per cent of your allowances.

You can also check what you've used at any time with the My BT app or at www.bt.com/mymobile >

Why can't I make a call when I still have plenty of minutes left in my plan?

You may have reached your monthly spend cap. So you can use the allowances in your plan, but you can't use anything that's not (like premium rate numbers or international calls).
