To set the maximum cost

If you have set a maximum cost, when the total number of call units is equal to this value, you will be prevented from making outgoing calls and receiving chargeable incoming calls.

If you are in a call, 30 seconds before this limit is reached, you will be warned that you have approximately 30 seconds of talk time left by the RADIO PATH NOT AVAILABLE TONE being given and the message

Cost Limit Approaching’ being displayed.

When the maximum cost limit is reached, the message ‘ Cost Limit Reached’ will be displayed and the call terminated. The message ‘ Cost Limit Reached’ or ‘ Chargeable Incoming Call’ will then be displayed on the screen if another call is received.
