Just a heads up guys for anyone that doesn't know already. I bought a new EE phone for punting and changed the number on my AW account. Got a text from AW to verify the number and replied but EE wouldn't send it and got a message from them saying adult blocking was turned on. You can't turn this off online with a PAYG phone so you have 2 options. You can go to an EE shop with proof of age (passport driving licence etc) or call a number from the mobile in question with a credit card for age verification. Pain in the arse and not ideal for a punting phone.

Thanks for the info. It might be an idea to post this on the main board as well.

+1, three are a brilliant network for a punting phone as the rates are so cheap and you can remove the adult content yourself by allowing them to charge £1 to yoyr credit card which you get back as phone credit.

Does everyone have a punting phone ?
Does your other half read your bill ?

If you re really smart go dual sim - not even Walter white sussed that one out!

Have you not taken notice of the advice all over this forum - avoid anything EE - not worth the risk
