We moved into a new house recently where the BT landline needs to be reconnected at a cost of £125 or thereabouts.
Thought I might try a 3G router, Vodafone card and Skype for voice.
Did a bit of research and it appeared that Vodafone used to block the service, but no longer do...great.
So setup the router and got hold of a wifi Skype phone.
I have found that I can not visit the Skype website on my laptop - get a page saying it's been blocked by Vodafone content control, which they say is there to prevent under 18s accessing unsuitable sites.
However, the Skype phone connects ok and can receive calls. But it can't dial out. If I use Skype on my laptop, it can dial out.
Any ideas how to resolve this. Can I simply get Vodafone to remove the content control?

Have an issue at present in that it's not my Vodafone account.
I have a customer who was using it for a temporary office but don't have any need for it at the moment. So asked if I could borrow it for a couple of weeks - to save having to sign up for the contract and then finding it doesn't work.
So will have to get the account information out of them.

Hi,
Have you tried Vodafone support? I'm also a Vodafone client here in Portugal and, at least here, their customer service is excellent. Plus: they cannot apply parental control unless you tell them to. You could also check your contract with them for some feature regarding parental control and that you may have active.
Cheers,
