Went to log on this morning on my iPhone to find my settings for t'net had been changed to safe.
I followed the link and it told me I would have to go to an Orange shop to prove my age.
No I bloody wasn't , so I rang them and after nearly dying of terminal mind fuck of multiple choices , all of which were nearly but not quite relevant , I got through to a woman with a lovely Irish accent.
She could not understand what had happened but said she had sorted it out.
No she had not, the bloody thing was now in " universal " mode ,I still could not get onto Fab.
Another dose off mindfuck later and a place in a queue I got to speak to a chap and we sorted it out.
Why is nothing ever simple and why were my settings changed ????.  |

Has this happened to anyone else?.
It's called Safeguard and is to protect the kiddies , I pointed out that my youngest will be twenty this year so it was not really relevant and I am not going to be told what I can and cannot look at.
It was also extremely dull not being able to see what you lot are getting up to .
Up the revolution !!! |

"Orange are a cluster fuck of a company- don't miss them in the slightest 
Hmmm... they moved me to EE... they're a shower of shysters too! "
Same company different name, although if you were on T-Mob and moved over you still retain the T-mob customer services teams apparently, which I always found to be very good |

I tried that and made it worse because I had not deleted the messages from Orange, or indeed , EE , and this made the phone revert back to the kiddie safe mode, so it was partly my fault though I did not reset the settings to start with.
Apparently !. |

It not the provider it an ofcom regulation
As a previous poster put it to stop kids accessing over 18 age sites. You can go into an EE store and ask them to lift the restriction for you.
I know it's annoying but not providers fault

But it is my phone, registered to me and I pay the bill.
They know my date of birth as it is one of the questions they ask to prove who I am .
Why would I , all of the sudden, suddenly become under eighteen again ??. |

"My iPhone does it occasionally although I'm with O2 although turning off the phone and back in again seems to fix it!!"
I have to do this too. Took me a while to work it out. Used to p*ss me off no end |

Vodafone do it occasionally too, apparently it's a fault they were having when they couldn't verify my age as their computers had a glitch! Pain in the ass when ur mid arrangements for a meet!!  |

Because it an ofcom regulation even though your phone is on contract and I agree they now your date of birth. It a safety precaution children use ostentatious phones.
Think of it this way would you want your child having access to porn ??, |

I've got a contract for a phone for my 10 year old daughter, I, know she's not going to be looking for anything "adult"
But there's always an inadvertant click when googling ....  |

Yes, I understand that , but as I have said , my kids are no longer kids and I resent having my settings changed to protect kids I don't have . |
