For the Kids? Bollocks!
So is it a surprise that O2 launch a nanny system in the last few weeks of the financial year?
Most age verification tools will allow a debit card transaction whereby they will make a deposit and then retake the deposit (normally a penny)
Its obvious that the motive of O2 is to get 19 million customers to pay £1 each as a cash influx into the business. It's transparent and sickening.
The £2.50 credit is not a refund, it's money back on a network for which they have already invested.
Their stance of "We want to ensure that children are not accessing adult content" is a pure smokescreen.
Did they want to make sure that I'm an adult when setting up a Direct debit for £90 per month?
No
Do they check my age before sending me a new handset?
No
THIS IS PURELY A WAY FOR O2 TO INCREASE PROFITS AS THEY HIT APRIL 1ST.
Scumbag tactics for such a large company.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
