Three - "This web page is unavailable to view"

mathie

Hi
Some sites I visit on my Samsung Galaxy S get the message "This web page is unavailable to view"

Any ideas what this is about?

Thanks
M

check the link, does it end up with .co.uk
the irish one should be something like 3ireland

It's not the link to the three site.
It's a few sites that seem to be blocked.
Most sites work but some are blocked.

I seem to have everything opened no problem, give me one of those sites and let me try myself and let you know then

They are normally what are classed as adult websites. Three stop a lot of more adult things. You will have to hop on to wifi to see those

akamossie

well it seems you know the answer then

I'm with them about 4 years, never had any problem accessing any websites..
I know people on pay as you go used to have to get age verified so they could use the internet but anyone over 18 on a contract shouldn't have any problem.

The internet is 95% adult, there wouldn't be much left on it if you couldn't view adult sites.

Ah, I am new to them, only been with them 2 months.

It shouldn't make any difference, I just googled angel and a few adult words(Purely for research purposes), no problem getting into anything.

I'd call the folks in india to see what's wrong, if only for the giggles.

Three blocks sites what are on the Internet Watch Foundation list. This list contains way more then adult sites, at some point it even blocked Wikipedia. And Three flat out refuse to remove the blocks. On called at least 4 times and was told that the block can not be removed.

Fine with me, I don't intend to become their customer until they start giving access to the whole internet.

jay93

they havnt blocked me from getting onto any sites at all ever in the past 3years

angel01

I rang them, they are removing the block, may take 24-48 hours.

So they've said there was a block Angel? Hopefully you won't go blind once they remove it, Giggity Giggity:)

Interesting. They told me there is no way to remove the block - on at least 3 occasions!

No, there is no way I would commit to bill pay with a company that is that incompetent.
