[photopress:heidi_klum.jpg,thumb,alignleft] The official verdict from T-Mobile as to why a minor – an eight year old girl – was able to receive messages from a service called Hot Babes is quite simple. T-Mobile just doesn’t class the content as adult.

See T-Mobile sends smut to eight year old girl. The fact that the multimedia messages showed topless women doesn’t apparently count. Which the INQ finds somewhat astounding since – as a family orientated site – we wouldn’t normally print pictures anything like as risqué as these.

By an amazing co-incidence, one of the women in question bears a remarkable resemblance to super-model Heidi Klum. Celebrities aren’t our normally field of excellence. But it just so happens that Heidi was one of two models at the recent BMW Sauber F1 launch which we attended courtesy of Intel.

The other model was Alessandra Ambrosio, who is apparently Brazilian.

But we digress. Our irate young mother now has to complain formally to T-Mobile about the content in question. If she doesn’t get a satisfactory response, she can then complain to the IMCB - the Independent Mobile Classification Body responsible for setting a Classification Framework.

In other words, you can appeal to the IMCB if you think that your network operator/content provider is supplying material of an adult nature to non-adults.

The IMCB can be found here. Other key words that can be sent to 3060 which will punch a hole straight through T-Mobile’s Content Lock provision include – Girl, Tackle, Hunk and Erotic. Somehow we don’t think that Dilbert falls into the same class.

Oh, and Hot Babes is free for the first 30 days after which each message costs 30 pence (aprx. 50 cent).
