O2 iPhone Users ...

Have you been getting age verification requests wanting you to ring a number or register a credit card to prove your age :? Seems a bit dodgy ... just like the sites I am trying to get on when it pops up ...

The graphics look a bit messy when viewing it on the phone (I know the screen shots are crap) :?

What do you think ?

Looks dodge! Iporn is the married mans best friend. Ring o2 and ask them.

 

[Awkward Kid]

Dont ask them if iporn is the married mans best friend! Or maybe do? This could be the way to renegotiate your contract?!

Looks fake to me, I would very definitely NOT put in your credit card details. And yes, pr0n is bad, mmmkay?

It's completely 100% kosher. Went to O2 site and it mentions it there.

Bango are a billing and analytics company that O2 are using to verify that you are old enough to use 'adult' sites (gambling, "other....").

I see the reasons for all this but you need to be over 18 to get a phone contract so why this sudden change? It's been handled extremely badly as well; no advance warning, very poor presentation of page, wrong font etc.

If you use wi-fi however, it bypasses it completely but with 3G you're stuck with it I'm afraid.

So - is big brother watching you AGAIN??
