Are you on contract or PAYG?

  • On Contract: Follow Switching Content Lock OFF or ON .
  • On PAYG: You can't control Content Lock from your MyEE. Instead you need to call EE with a credit card handy & pay a refundable token amount to prove you are over 18. Alternatively you can visit an EE store with some photo ID.

To phone EE CS: Dial Freephone +44 800 079 8586 - Option 1 for Mobile Phone & Mobile Broadband or Option 2 for Home Broadband & Home Phone

ISPs: 1999: Freeserve 48K Dial-Up > 2005: Wanadoo 1 Meg BB > 2007: Orange 2 Meg BB > 2008: Orange 8 Meg LLU > 2010: Orange 16 Meg LLU > 2011: Orange 20 Meg WBC > 2014: EE 20 Meg WBC > 2020: EE 40 Meg FTTC > 2022:EE 80 Meg FTTC SoGEA > 2025 EE 150 Meg FTTP

Absolutely ridiculous, I'm coming up to 50 this month, many years ago I had to ensuring go into a bloody EE shop to prove my age, now for some stupid reason it's turned on parental lock again! I'm not traveling to a stupid store to prove who I am. I don't use credit card (I'm not stupid) but I have 3 debit cards with thousand of pounds in, yet this isn't enough to prove my bloody age! What kind of Draconian broken system do you use! I've been with you idiots for over 20 years, sort it out 😤

Hi @seedaripper1973 

Are you trying to remove content lock in your My EE Account?

What happens when you do this?
