How to block or unblock 18+ content
All new Three devices have age-restricted content blocked by default. That means adult or 18+ content can’t be accessed while you’re connected to our network.
If you’re the account owner and are over 18, you can block and unblock age-restricted content any time.
How to unblock 18+ content for the first time
To unblock age-restricted content for the first time, you must confirm you’re over 18. You can do this:
- On My3 or the Three app with a credit card
- In any Three store with photo ID
- By contacting us
You can’t verify your age with:
- a debit card
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay

Using an Apple device?
If you have iCloud Private Relay enabled, it may stop the content filter from working correctly. For more information, please go to our iCloud Private Relay support page.
How is content classified?
Content is classified the same way as video and film – using an independent framework produced by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).
How do we use content filters?
Our content filters have been developed in line with the content self-regulation code of practice we created with other UK networks. They’re used to protect the younger users of our network – making sure they can’t access age-restricted content.
