    After an hour with sprint I think a content blocker was turned on. Their website is not easy to figure this out but somehow I got it done I certainly never selected it. The lady at sprint told me they had a previous case like this. For the tin foil hat poster thanks for that input.

    When the site was blocked for me, it was 2 different browsers.

    If it was a content blocker, it should have blocked it on the phone, cell data or wifi.
    It sounds like it was a Sprint cell data blocker.

    Yes sprint and T-Mobile have their own content blockers. I believe that was the issue. You can block adult sites or all data. It was designed to comply with child protection laws but they put no time into making it user friendly. Its a new phone and there is direct correlation between getting the phone and this issue popping up. I am just very relieved that it wasn’t a corporate effort to block gun site surfing.

    Sprint was applying a content filter on their network for your phone. Sounds like they need to do a better job of communicating about it to their customers.
