Phone number display on Adultwork?
« on: 27 November 2008, 11:12:07 pm »
I do incalls a couple of days per week from a rented flat, so to be able to take more short-notice bookings on these days without having to carry my laptop around with me (and to make it more convienient for potential clients) I decided to pay ?1.50 per day for 'phone number display' on AW. However, my network (02) rejected me, saying I'd have to go into a store to prove i was over 18 for adult content. So next time i was in town, i headed over to the 02 store , and somewhat embarrassed, explained i needed to unblock adult content (the guy looked at me with a very puzzled expression! lol). He unblocked it nonetheless, and i was sent a confirmation message saying it had been unblocked. But it still won't work  ??? Keeps coming up that i haven't registered for adult content....
Does anyone from here display phone number on AW? Did your network ask you to do all this? If not and it all went smoothly for you, please tell me which network and i will get a cheap simcard and use that instead.
many thanks  :)

Are you unable to buy credits with a card online? It would save you 0.50? per day and would solve this issue..

I was on an adult dating site last year, and tried to access my messages via my 3 internet access on my mobile. When I couldnt get on I called 3 and was also told it needed to be unblocked, which they did over the phone for me.

When it still wouldn't work I contacted them again and after lots of blah, blah finally understood that if the network provider has their own adult content sites, such as porn, they will only allow access to these and block anything from other sites.

Don't know if that is the case with O2.

The PDA I'm typing this on is from O2, and I have just successfully got Youporn on it so I don't know why AW is posing problems on the OP's phone.

I use mine to check and answer my emails (including AW ones) often when I'm travelling about and have never had any problems although I was very clear when I bought it that I needed to access adult sites because of my work so it might have been unblocked by the shop people to save them having to put up with me again.

I know 3 is a nightmare; one of my clients told me it won't even let him read my blog, let alone look at my site. I have never paid for anything on AW so don't know how the credits work but I thought you just bought them with a card?

I don't know why but that comment made me check your site and am I ever desperate to find out where you got the B&W pictures done with the pasties on the first page- those are fabulous!

It's not buying credits I have the problem with, it's just phone number display.

Anika Mae- i will probably try a cheap virgin-network sim card and see if that fixes it

Yeah i think they probably just un-blocked 02- specific adult content. damn! lol

Thanks for all the advice so far

The phone I used on AW was an O2 network I had to get it unblocked with a phone call to them but it did work fine for me...

My other phone is orange and I had to do the same thing to use internet.

Maybe O2 have changed now but it wasn't previously a problem for me.

I just called Orange and they checked  my details and took it off.It took a few days to register.

3 are the worst company ever.If you set up your phone to have delivery status,messages to  3 network are still in the outbox 24 hours later!
Never use a person with the 3 network  as a security buddy!!

I am on 02 and had the same problem when I tried to set up the email alert thing, where AW text you each time you receive an email. I had to call 02 customer services about 5 times and eventually demanded to speak to a supervisor. I did finally manage to get the block removed, and in the end it turned out to be quite a simple process, but for some reason they don't seem to bother briefing their customer service team on how to go about it.

I've been with 3 for over 18 months now and apart from christmas and new year, I haven't had any problems with delayed messages. Even the unblocking was easy to do over the phone, the only thing I had trouble with was undrstanding their adult content policy.

If that worries anyone regarding me being a security buddy, I do use my orange pay as you go as work phone.

Exactly, the only bit I am happy to use text during security procedures is to relay the booking info.

I always find texts are quite useful when Patrick Bateman is in the room with you!
