O2 has age-blocked my website

Anonymous
Not applicable

Does anyone know how to remedy this?

 

I tried to access my company's own website this morning, and was presented with an age-verification screen. Since my company makes and sells clothes, I found this odd.

 

I tried O2 live chat. Ridiculously bad. Circular conversation with robots.

 

I tried email. I got pointed to live chat.

 

I tried other email address and I got pointed to other email forms. Awful, awful service.

 

Does anyone know what I can do about this? Any help much appreciated. I am losing traffic and business because of this, and am concerned.

I would phone Broadband Support, see "Contact us" at the bottom of the page for the number.

Yep, it's on 3G on my mobile.

 

Thanks for the responses.

 

I have also tried asking for help with it on Twitter -- but completely ignored.

More than happy to help and look into this. Can you please provide us the exact URL so we could review and rectify the classification accordingly.

 

Thanks

Thank you very very much for that. I've just filled it in and request a "policy change".

 

What a strange little page that is.

 

What a strange company.

 

What awful service.

thanks, Paul. I've just tried to replicate the issue and I'm able to access that website from a non-verified O2 mobile. Can you confirm if you're unable to access the home page http://www.sehkelly.com/ or a particular sub-page from that website?
