Is there a catch with Vodacom's Promotional prepaid Data Bundles, maybe the connection-quality or speed or something? Why are the two types i.e. Regular (for about R249 per Gb) and the Promotional data bundles (for R149 per Gb) running side by side and we have the option to choose either of them to purchase?

Another **** you Vodacom Thread
I had 900mb over on my data bundle when I checked my balance 2 days ago. According to my Nexus 5 I have only used 500mb this whole month. Low and behold tonight I check my airtime and my data is 0 and my airtime is -R400.
Vodacom has ALWAYS sent me a SMS when my data is low and also when it is done. Not this time. I know there is nothing you can do but it makes me so f******* angry! I never thought the OOB Shark would get me. There is a special kind of hell for the person responsible.

Vodacom Prepaid, which price plan are you on?
http://www.vodacom.co.za/personal/ph...s/prepaidplans
Don't know how many people are aware of it, but you get multiple price plan for prepaid. The Vodacom 4 Less one being the default. Vodacom 4 Less provides you with discounts, but not after asking you premium during the day and to other networks.
Speaking of Discounts:
*111*444#
Is the number to dial to get the current percentage, anyone here know all the times and percentages of the discounts. Like to work out the rates for interest sake.
Also is there indeed a time where it's 100%?

Vodacom Unrestricted APN using iPhone 5s for VNC connection to my desktop
Hi,
I need to use VNC server to allow remote connections to my desktop on port 5900 via Vodacom 3G using my iPhone's hotspot.
I've applied for the Unrestricted APN from Vodacom and they have activated the service for me. On the myvodacom website -> My Vodacom -> Manage Services I can see that the Unrestricted option is active.
I've received the following email from Vodacom:
"Please note that the unrestricted APN has been activated on your line as per your request. You will now have to create a new connection profile where the APN name is unrestricted."
I'm not too sure on what to set my iPhone APN settings to to allow for incoming connections on port 5900. I've set both the APN Cellular Data and Personal Hotspon APN names to all these values unrestricted / Unrestricted / unrestricted.vodacom.za AND I've made sure my firewall on my mac is not blocking incoming connections on port 5900. All the setting changes above were followed by a reboot of the phone.
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can get the unrestricted APN settings configured to allow for incoming connections?

UNRESTRICTED APN on Vodacom R206-Z MIFI
Good day all,
I am trying to setup the Unrestricted APN for my Vodacom R206-Z.
I have so far:
1. Sent the application and copy of my ID to vodacom.
2. I have confirmation that this service (unrestricted apn) has been applied to my telephone number.
The issue though is when I am trying to setup the APN settings, it is asking me for IPv4 Number (which out this field it will not let me save the APN settings).

I have two options (seen in screenshots) -
1. "Vodacom" - this has default settings
2. "Custom" - this is where I am assuming you change the APN to unrestricted.

When I use "Custom" I am told by the technical folks at 082155 under APN name = Unrestricted but then when we get to finding out what IPv4 number to use we get a blue screen by the technical guys. They "never heard" of this and after being put through 4 different numbers, I thought I would revert to the smart guys here.
IPv4 does not accept a IP address format x.x.x.x it needs just a numeric number. I have tried 0 and saved the settings rebooted everything but still DDYNS, Remote Desktop etc doesnt work - so I dont think 0 is the correct guess.
I would really appreciate some pointers.

Vodacom -Worst Network Providers!!
I live in Morningside, 5min away from Sandton city, you'd think Vodacom would have better reception in such a central place?! No! It's been over a year since I complained about their lack of network in the area! 80% of my calls go straight to voicemail and when I do get a call, I have to run to the one corner of the house that has reception! Every time I call Vodacom customer care, they say there is a new site planned for the area, it's been over a year! Honestly! I use my contract for work and I can't receive calls! My emails and sms's are delayed, on top of all that I somehow was subscribed to some content service that I didn't agree to! I'm paying over 1k a month for what?!
I've asked to cancel for a month now, and they've been calling my husband's phone because they can't get through to mine! That's how bad it is! I'm still waiting for them to send me the details but I REFUSE to pay for cancellation! This is their issue! Network problems from when I signed this contract! I've been with Vodacom forever and this is the worst service I've experience these past 2 years!

Can't buy data bundles on Vodacom
I've been unable to buy data bundles on my Vodacom Top Up contract. I keep getting this error message: "Promo Data Bundle Operation Failed: NotAuthorized".
I've called Vodacom support at least a dozen times now - I always get told that someone will call me back, which happened once - she just wanted to confirm that I'm still experiencing the issue. I've reached out to them on Twitter and even resorted to HelloPeter.
Anyone know why I might be seeing this error or if there is actually someone I could speak to who could get this resolved?

Vodacom Warranty Matter
Good day
I recently booked in one of my Blackberry phones at a Vosacom Repairs shop for any inserted SIM could not be detected and read. I am on contract with Vodacom and I am yet to complete the 2 year warranty cycle.
This afternoon I received a message that I will need to pay an amount seeing that the phone is in its second warranty year. I called and then they said its because of the tiny crack on the screen that the warranty is void.
Can someone please give me some clarity, as the people at Vodacom I spoke to surely cant...

Vodacom no loger warning about data limit
I'm on prepaid - up until very recently vodacom used to send me sms messages when I was running out of data.
There would be 2 messages - one when I had 3Mb left and then one when I ran out.
Has anyone else noticed they no longer do this?
Now you run out and vodacom just starts using your airtime at OOB rates with no indication whatsoever.
Why would they stop this functionality? I know the obvious answer is so they can make more money but do they think people won't notice they are not getting warning messages anymore?

Vodacom vs MTN iPhone 5s contracts
I'm at the point to upgrade, so I did a bit of an investigation regarding Vodacom's contracts for the Iphone 5s contracts. I have a 32GB Iphone 4s, so I wouldn't mind have an equivalent. My current cost of the contract is plus minus R620.
Vodacom is running a special on their Iphone 5S 32GB. For the Iphone 5s, on the Smart L (250minutes, 500MB, ignore the SMSes), + you get another 500MB, it is, wait for it....R799. Yes, the same contract I have now, is R180 more expensive. Exchange rate, etc. can be used as an excuse, but it doesn't explain MTN.
If you go for the closest MTN Iphone 5S 32GB package, it consists of 200minutes, 300MB, at R619. If you had a bolton of 1GB @ R89, it works out at R708, oushing up the data to 1.3GB
Yes, ladies and gents. You can built a MTN package, with more data (which works great as I use Skype and FaceTime) for nearly R100 cheaper than Vodacom. No wonder Vodacom is pushing free data, because their package is over priced. :wtf:
I haven't look at Cell C or Telkom (they are cheaper generally), but after my Cell C fiasco (yes, guys, number porting isn't that difficult), they are not currently an option.
