Okay, have you rebooted the device?

What did our team do for you when you called?
Zoie

Yes device rebooted said they would take parental control off but might take up to 24hours.I have also taken parental controls off on my virgin mobile site

Hi

Just a thought as I had a similar issue in the past with a different provider. It turned out not to be a network issue and the phone itself.

I had done the usual update which had installed some extra security. It maybe worth doing a internet search regards that for your device.

It gave me an option to confirm whether I wanted certain devices off there restricted list each time I went to those sites I was blocked from. 

Hope you get sorted, good luck.

As @Lightfoots given us some helpful advice on what happened with them.

Have you tried your sim in a different device?
