You've answered your own query. However, it goes on to say the following:
If you don't a credit card, don't worry. Please get in touch with us via web chat where we'll just need to confirm you're over 18 through receipt of valid photo ID such as a Passport or Driving Licence.
I can never fathom this ... children can access **bleep** all over the place and of the most extreme varieties with no filter at all. There is no consistency ... the banks see themselves as a gatekeeper (to cover their own backs) but the government says carry on regardless. (Off topic, as a septogenarian I believe the human body cannot corrupt human beings as we all have one. What really screws a person's head up is being kept in total ignorance, as my generation were.)
TrevorH_2691686 Just because you say that children can access totally inappropriate content doesn't mean that a provider of mobile data should make it any easier for them.
We should be grateful that some companies are at least trying to stop this and not decry them. I'm not sure it's just the human body - it's extremes and violent material s well.
