Can't access Facebook Messenger (and other apps) on mobile data

I switched to Plusnet Mobile about 3 weeks ago and I've noticed that when I'm using the network (without WiFi) I can't access some social media apps including Facebook, FB Messenger, and Twitter.  I've tried wiping my iphone but this hasn't fixed it so I can only assume the blockage is on Plusnet's end somehow.  Anyone know a way to fix this?

Good morning,

Have you had the Adult Content lock removed 

If not call 500 from your PlusNet mobile

Nope, wasn't aware that Facebook Messenger would be considered "Adult Content".

Does this fix the issue when your phone says you're not connected to the internet when trying to connect to fb and messenger? I can connect successfully to my browser and all my other apps on mobile data,just not FB and messenger? My signal isn't weak either but can't connect to fb or messenger unless on WiFi and I need to be able to access both while I'm out and about without WiFi option

Yes, it fixed it for me.  They have an adult content block automatically enabled that, for some reason, also blocks Facebook + Messenger as well as other messaging apps (like Signal).  Call them to remove the content block, or find a mod on here who can do it for you.  Either way, you'll need your account details.

Take it you mean I'll need my plusnet account details?

Yeah, Plusnet Mobile details.  They'll ask for your payment and sort code details.
