Thankfully at that place are no restrictions on how information can be used - VoIP, tethering, etc. is all within the plans. Also, BT Wi-fi is also included at no extra cost, providing access to millions of wireless hotspots beyond the UK, which will save some MBs. Simply even then it's a tight restriction level.
