Spend cap is for extra charges that are not included within yre mins texts and data. So for instance picture messages are not included in that so would cost extra to send, also charges to bill would come under spend cap also. Also charges to certain numbers would also come under extra so would be limited by spend cap

Thanks for the reply, 

 

I haven’t sent any picture messages or done anything out of my normal usage so just confused as to why all of a sudden I’m getting this notification.

It is an excuse to market to you as an existing customer, to try and increase engagement and to get you to spend more money.
