Age restriction

I’ve only just realised I’ve got age restriction access on my phone. I’ve had a contract with 02 since I was 18, and am 25 now! I don’t own a credit card so I can’t phone up, and obviously the stores are currently closed due to covid-19. I’ve sent a message to 02 via messenger but it appears they’re prioritising those who are vulnerable or have connection issues.

Is there another solution regarding proving your age whilst there’s no stores open?

Hi @Gem3 

You would need to contact O2. Numerous numbers in this guide.

Guide: Coronavirus Community Help and Support 

0800 587 4005 seems to work well in getting an advisor with minimum wait.

And lifting bars or restrictions is seen as an Essential service, don't be fobbed-off when they answer your call, @Gem3 :

Sometimes, the cards have to fall your way, @Gem3 👍

Glad you got sorted, even if it was @Cleoriff's answer above that gave you the number 😁

You can also go in store now with some ID. 

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.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
