Depending on the results of your credit check, you may be eligible for the Credit Limit Program. This program gives you a credit limit of $250, which allows you to use your device as usual as long as your total account balance remains under your credit limit.
Your total balance includes your unpaid bill and all overage charges to date, such as long distance calls, data and minutes or texts over your rate plan allotment. When your monthly charges are billed, they are applied against your credit limit.
To help you manage your account, you will receive a free text message reminder on your mobile device when you reach 70% and/or 85% of your credit limit.
