Need advise on the Vodafone error “HTTP Error 403: The service you requested is restricted”

[pihu02]

I've been getting this super annoying error message on my Vodafone phone lately. It says "HTTP Error 403: The service you requested is restricted." This happens no matter what browser I use, even when I try tethering my phone to my laptop!

The weird thing is, sometimes everything works fine. I can browse the web or connect to my work email just fine. But then other times, bam! This error pops up. It seems like a lot of other Vodafone users are having the same problem too.

Honestly, it's getting frustrating. I've been a loyal Vodafone customer for years, but these constant connection issues are making me consider switching providers. Mobile internet is too important these days to be this unreliable!

I also check this : https://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Archive/HTTP-Error-403-The-service-you-requested-is-restricted-not/m... But I have not found any error.

Hopefully Vodafone can fix this glitch soon.

Thanks

Have you got Secure Net or any age restrictions on?
