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

@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.

iPhone 16 Pro Max - o2 and Spusu

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.

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