I want to stop adult content.

Yes, I DO NOT want to see adult content.

 

I didn't think it was enabled but I thought I'd make sure it was off.

I went into my Phone Settings. Under 'Allow Adult Content' I selected 'no or off'.

Now it says "Allow adult content on phone = on"

It has done the opposite of what I have asked!

 

When I select 'change' it says "Your adult content changes are in progress, please check it later"

It has been 3 days.

I do not want adult content - what is going on?

 

I have started using my old O2 sim until this has been resolved. I see no reason to use Giffgaff until then.

Hi Bakerboy,

It can take a little while to go through but the process, but unless you submitted your passport/driving licence number either 3 days ago or on a previous occasion the filter will NOT be lifted, as they need this information as proof you are an adult.

If you have given them this info however I suggest you either contact an agent or wait for it to progress so you can turn it off again...
I hope this helped Smiley Happy. Kind regards

Hi , as that's an account issue, you need to contact an Agent:

If giffgaff Blacklisted your mobile, then they can also remove the block.

Be aware it can take up to 24 hours for a reply, so please be patient.
