Hello, I bought an 8GB SIM card plus 500 minutes and unlimited texts. So there's no subscription, no out-of-bundle charges or other fees?
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

It's simple to avoid out-of-package charges. Just don't do the things that cost money. I listed them earlier. That's what everybody else does by just being aware of what they do with their phone.

You didn't understand what I'm asking. If you go over your plan, will it be blocked at zero for security reasons?

Thank you, so there is no charge for checking, is that correct? And parental consent can be activated or removed, as you wish, no obligation and it's free. It can be set whenever I want. Is that right? Is it possible from the app or the website?

It will only be blocked when you haven't enough credit to pay for it. So don't top-up until you know what you want to spend it on.
It just like everyday. If you don't have enough money in your pocket, you can't buy it.

Thank you, and for parental control, there is no obligation to deactivate it and it is free to activate or deactivate it? Can we deactivate it from the website or application?

Thanks but
no obligation to remove it? putting it back is free as well as removing it?

Entirely your choice as to whether you do or don't.
It's on by default, and you must prove your age if you want to remove it as the instructions state. It's not a chargeable service in any way.
Pay as you go is a very simple service, I fear you are overcomplicating things for yourself.

Thanks. Does this work across the UK? Northern and Southern Ireland too?

@To23 , you need to make sure that you have enough credit to use your phone in Southern Ireland, as it is not part of the UK, but Northern Ireland is part of the UK, and yes, all of the UK, so long as you have enough credit.
You can check here for costs of Southern Ireland:
