i want to lock or stop my data when its over the limit

Just to add to a post above me, Public Mobile sends a data usage alert via SMS when you use over 75% and 95% of your allowance.  It’s not always on the spot however, I find there’s a slight delay.

There’s no alert at 100% used, your data services will just be suspended and any attempt to use it will direct you to the “zero balance” captive page.

As a prepaid service, Public Mobile will not be charging you after ("post") your usage - if you try using more than you paid for, it will just halt instead until your next top-up payment.

Hello 1zzaman0,

Public Mobile also sends you a text message when you are almost at your limit (at 75% I believe). Furthermore, you can also set up your phone to give you data usage warnings by following the below steps.

Andriod:

Settings>Data Usage>Turn on mobile data

From here you should see different options for mobile data

Hope this helps!

You don't need to worry about data overages.  Once you run out of data, your data will just stop.  No extra charges.
