My business website has no adult content what so ever.  It is a completley legitimate business by blocking this site to mobile devices that are not age verified you are damaging my business.

 

I require the restriction to be lifted immediately for [EDIT: Link Removed]

 

The only advice I can find at 02 is to post on this forum or twitter.  I cannot believe that 02 now want to deal with helpdesk queries on a forum, its outrageous.  

 

Can you please look into this and reply to my query

Not sure why you have been sent to a customer forum where we are all customers and have no say on O2 policy. 

All I can say is that check your website for certain wording, pictures or links to other sites that may be construed as age appropriate. 

The classification is from memory not actually done by o2.

I think it's the default setting Smiley Mad

My web site is blocked on O2's mobile BB and there's nothing there to offend.

when this all happend some 18 months ago the faq on the o2 blog advised people to use twitter and these forums to resolve the issue I think from memory abs was dealing with it at the time.

 

I am sure a search will confirm that

The OP's site was for unlocking the iphone 5 for £74.95! Is anybody really that desperate?

Funny I thought all the carriers did this themselves? As for unblocking the iPhone 5 on O2, if O2 decline to do it yet this website can surely that is illegal?
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told wink
