Some sites must be over 18

[Anonymous]

Hi

Some sites I go to are asking me to sign up and register to access the site, it's an 02 message to restrict to over 18. Obviously I want to access any site I want to  without silly payments.

Secondly - I am doing some work on the net and have my own site but when I check it on my mobile it is giving me this over 18 requirement. Why would a site that has nothing malign on it have an over 18 flag?

Cheers

Customer service can remove the restriction for you. As for your own site I'm not sure why there is a restriction on there. Again, you need to call customer service I'm afraid. You can check it here :

You can have the restriction on your account lifted by following the one off CC verification process or by contacting CS http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

It seems that some sites now just don't load up when I search and click on them. I don't know if they are still blocked. I noticed one site 'no2id' was blocked at my work and I tried it on mobile. It didn't go to the site but didn't do anything. Not sure what's up or why things still seem to be blocked. Maybe the government have a stranglehold over the networks as part of their licencing contract to restrict all "controversial" sites.

Hi

No I also have a personal blog I run and this is blocked as well on my mobile. Any other ideas why it is just a news site?

Thanks

Are there adverts on your website via the hosting service?

Hi there are google ads on my site although I have another site with those and isn't blocked so din't think it's that.
