Content Control : How can I get it removed?

[chris10122]

Hi, is there any other way apart going to a shop to remove the Content Control on my mobile dongle, I called up vodafone but as I only have debit cards, and not any credit cards they told me they could not remove it, thanks.

Hi Chris is your phone contract and in your own name? if not then the only way to identify who you are and your age is with a credit card i know it's a pain but you could be anybody or any age and if voda unblocked the restriction then you turned out to be 12 year old a lot of hard questions would be asked as to why etc!! and i suspect voda would leave themselves open to big fines for it. Hope this ans your question, i don't work for voda but this is going on my own companies policies which i think would be very similar to voda's.

I just registered online, then went into the nearest Vodafone shop and it was removed from there.

Hi chris10122

Welcome to the eForum! Hope you stick around .
I can see our fourm members have been quick to help out here (Thanks ). Unfortunately as this is a pay as you go account there is no way to prove your age, you would need to go into a store to get the content control lifted.

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

hi sukhi,
i have a pay as you go dongle , i am 38 years old and have had no end of grief trying to remove this age restriction lark, i have registered at least 4 times to various vodafone forum or help sites ( which seems a bit excessive to me ) to no avail,
is there any chance you can get this lifted for me as i have some important e-mails i cannot recover at this present time
yours waiting chris

Hi filthybeast,

Firstly I would like to welcome you to the eForum.

The only way you are going to be able to get this removed is to visit a Vodafone retail store and they will do this for you. The only alternative is if you have a credit card this can be done on My Account online.

Let us know how you get on.

I have just realized I'm blocked from tech and music sites.Nothing even mildly illegal.What a load fd b******s! I've never heard of an Internet provider playing big brother-Berners-Lee would be horrified, I'm sure.

Surely it's the responsability of parents to watch what there offspring is downloading?

Listen pal, If you find a way-post it for me(otherwise it's a 120 mile round trip to visit nearest store.

I will probablypick up a 3 donglw whil i'm there.

Thanks, Georgina

I mean-seriously! What kind of idiot; presumably in the top ranks thinks ' ...Right, I'm up here in my communication{ie;ivory} tower-presiding over my information hungry public/paying customers...I know I'LL LIMIT THERE ACCESS!'

It's laughable...they dont even try to pass it off as a gimmic(Your children are safe with us-nothing will POP UP in their sweet little faces if you are infact to stupid, or to lazy to limit their access yourselves!)

'their access'- type quickly when vexed;(
