Guest StevenHarperUK Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Orange the ISP or Orange the Network? Be more specific Most likely the 3G network I imagine you have your Safeguard settings still on (protection for porn for minors) I expect there to be a forum.* rule in that. You simply need to either Log into Orange : https://www.youraccount.orange.co.uk - click on the Safeguard Icon (padlock) Click on Change and turn it off Otherwise you have not proven you are over 18 yet and need to Ring customer services for a quick chat (150) Either way it should take you no less than 5 minutes. If you can't prove your 18, then simply download Opera - no one can filter its traffic as the traffic all goes through their own proxy(s)

Guest sambartle Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Works fine for me on Orange 3G on Contract
Guest SqueakyG Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Orange Safeguard really annoyed me when I was using up my Orange credit. It was so heavy-handed... I didn't even go to any porn sites, it blocked pretty much any site that had swearwords on. And modaco. I assume blocking this forum is a conscious act of censorship by Orange, to prevent access to information that lets you modify your phone. I called Customer Services. The Indian gentleman I spoke to said that I had to go into an Orange shop and prove my identity to a staff member using photo ID. So I walked into an Orange shop, but the assistant immediately told me that it couldn't be done in the shop -- I had to do it through Customer Services, because they have to change the settings from their computers. So I called customer services again, and I asked if I could tell him my credit card number as proof of age. He seemed confused, like he'd never heard of the Orange Safeguard before, and eventually he told me that if I topped up my balance, that would count as proof of age, and the Safeguard would be lifted. It was obvious that he didn't know what he was talking about. Besides, I was just using up the credit I had to buy when I bought the phone, so I wasn't going to buy more. I used Opera.
