sign up problem

why does signing up to this site not work if connected to a VPN

Probably some kind of security feature.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

well i have to use a vpn for security because my wifi is unsecure

@slowsandal I've tried to log in using a VPN in the past and have been unable to do so. It's obviously something O2 doesn't like. Don't know the reason why.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2

@slowsandal

What IP is your VPN giving?, as if it is a non UK IP, the o2 website has never liked it.. So try setting your VPN to use a UK based IP.

- Xperia 1V - o2 and Spusu
- Pixel 8 Pro - o2 and Vodafone UK

i have it set to uk, once i had created the account i am able to log in using a vpn, it just wont create an account while using a vpn

The best way to create an account is by using mobile data on the phone / SIM the account will refer to.

This is not O2 and we are all customers here similar to yourself and cannot answer account type queries.

that was not possible in this case because the reason i joined is to make a complaint about the mobile data not working in my area

Just turn the VPN off while you register. Can't see it being a problem in the time it takes to do that.
