Feeling seedy in the T-Mobile store

After my post the other day about, amongst other things, T-Mobile restricting my web access via web’n’walk, I finally snapped. I did something about it.

 Logging on to the T-Mobile mobile homepage last night, I noticed they’d added Facebook on the front page. Wicked. Perhaps they’ve added it to the whitelisted sites and I could access it?

Alas no, it was still locked this morning. So off to the T-Mobile store I went, ID and handset in hand.

“Hello, can I unlock my handset please?”

“Certainly sir, you want to access adult sites?”

“No, just Myspace, Facebook, and MSN. I don’t want dodgy stuff”

At this point the rather charming sales assistant gives me a dirty look. I then go into the total denial that I’m accessing p*rn on my mobile mode, trying to persuade her it’s for proper things. Uhuh. Right. She’s looking at me like I’m a fully paid up member of the dirty raincoat brigade, and my newspaper of choice is the Daily Smut.

Anyway couple of minutes later, and an hour of waiting for it to update, I can now access a service that T-Mobile are advertising on their homepage. Fantastic. But what a palava.. She even gave me a lecture in the shop, reminding me if I lend my handset to anyone under 18 I’d have to call up and put the lock back on. Yes of course, Facebook and Myspace are a hot bed of sordidness and nudity. Then again, maybe I’ve lead a sheltered life 😉
