The function of any bolt-on is to provide an additional allowance or allowances. They act prospectively, not retrospectively.

If any user has incurred additional charges, adding a bolt-on will not cancel those charges.

The best way to manage costs is to add a Spend Control¹. From the dashboard of your my.plan account, go to:

CONTROLS > SPEND CONTROLS > DATA LIMITS/CALLS LIMITS/TEXT LIMITS > [select user] > SET UP   

Alternatively, set an Ofcom Total Spend Cap². Go to: 

CONTROLS > SPEND CONTROLS > OFCOM TOTAL SPEND CAP > [select user] > SET UP
