When trying to view Fab on my phone earlier, I got a message from O2 insisting I use my credit card (I don't have one) to prove my age - despite having been a customer of theirs for over 15 years.

! can view fab ok, but can't watch porn unless I verify LOL.

I keep meaning to go into the store on a saturday, pick on a really geeky teen (hopefully one who works there) and loudly proclaim I wanna watch porn on my goddamn phone!!!.

Keep forgetting tho

Common issue with O2. As others above said, turning your phone on and off should clear it.

I had the same problem. I just went into one of their stores and they sorted it for me. I was a bit disappointed that the shop assistant didn't ask for an ID

This - or if it's been done before - turn it off and on, and it will reset and be fine.

If you're embarrassed you can just tell them you are trying to access a betting site as they are restricted as well.

I told them someone had sent me link in an e-mail and was told it could have been a betting site. I just nodded my head and said Ohhh right

I just rang and asked my provider to switch it off, I'm with Utility Warehouse and think they use the EE network mainly. Never had any issues and they never asked me what sites I was looking at...although I would have told them if they'd asked as I usually find others are more embarrassed than I am

I hope you were sat there with a mischievous smile on your face as you said it's so you can access a swinging site

Loving the avatar. I love your boobies, but love your face pic more. I'm now off to have a lie down.

I find it very funny,that you can have a contract phone,that they will have already credit checked you for.

Signed a legal contract that confirms you are of legal age to do so.

Then they later ask you to prove your over 18.

Tell them your not and watch the panic set in, as they realise the contract isnt enforceable due to your age..

If your not able to access fab because of your phones age restriction.

If you have a Smartphone install the Opera Mini browser app.

You should be able to access it even with the restrictions.

I verified my age in-store last year and I'm now being asked again too. Do O2 think I'm getting younger with each birthday?

Mine used to do that, every couple of weeks. The last time I had to call them I told them where I'd shove their phone if I had to call to get it changed again

2 yrs ago I got my first internet phone and asked the fit salesgirl to set it up so that everytime I went on to Google, Fabswingers was my homepage. She smiled almost knowingly

My upgrade is due tomorrow (Galaxy Ace3), I wonder if she still works there
