Three's All You Can Eat Data

Finally got a Three SIM card today after the one I ordered online didn't turn up and the fucking three shop in town didn't have any in stock (how can a shop that sells nothing but phone stuff run out of stock of an essential bit of phone? :@ )

 

Anyway, where's the T&Cs for All You Can Eat Data? because it appears to be "All You Can Eat Aslong As The Site Is Approved By Us". Their 'adult' content blocking is ridiculous, with seemingly no way to disable it. And no I'm not trying to look up pr0n, I'm just wanting to check my joke scores on Sickipedia :@

Are you on contract or PAYG?

On contract, they're removing the filter entirely, since you have to be 18 to have one.

However, I can't remember if they've actually removed it fully yet (I think it's removed on one of the APNs but possibly not on the recommended APN).

On PAYG you just have to contact them and prove you're an adult and they'll remove it from your account.

PAYG. contact them how? There's no info on the redirect page, just tells me to sign up and access their own porn portal.

 

I (admittedly quickly) googled and it seemed to suggest there was no way to remove the adult redirect, and the only adult content you can access is is Three's own. Cunts (possibly literally).

 

The URL is www.sickipedia.org, then log into my account, click on my username and it should show you my jokes and their scores. Ta.

I dunno. You must have a customer services number somewhere with the junk they give you when you sign up?

Anyway, here's where it says it can be done:
Because our Pay As You Go customers aren’t required to provide proof of their age, unlike Pay Monthly customers, the filter will remain in place unless they pop in to a store with proof of age or call customer services and do a quick credit/debit card check.

Haha, you've got to go ask them to turn the porn on in person.

Thankyou Peter. I'll see if I can find the number in the morning.

 

So basically I can't access B3ta or Sicki unless I give them my credit card number. Not got an issue with that, other networks do it too. BUt other networks give you a blocked content page with a link to unblock it if you want, rather than redirecting you to their own pay-per-view porn portal. :@

I found a pack of fake moustaches earlier when I was tidying shit up. I may have to wear the porn star one when I go in :-{)

Wear a long mac too and shout, "CAN YOU HELP ME GET PORN ON MY PHONE PLEASE?"

This place should be banned anyway. It's already illegal in the UK, due to the subversive colonial element.

Wait, I thought you were just joking about that before... they do actually have their own porn service?? :|


It certainly is more effort than it should be in today's world though. Maybe they do it this way to prevent kids getting their parents cards or something. *shrug*

Whereas I had no problems getting to this site when I was in China. I was actually a little disappointed.

I'm confused again.

How do I remove the filter?

As long as you’re over 18 and using a phone that’s listed below, just call us on 333 and we’ll do this for you.


So you can only access non-Three porn if you have a supported Smartphone? Is the three network run by a bunch of muppets?
