If you just got your shiny brand new iPhone 3G, there’s a chance you might be greeted with the following message when you try to access the 3G network with Vodacom:
“Could not activate cellular data network: You are not subscribed to a cellular data service”
This just means that your sim is not activated for the iphone.vodacom.za APN (Not iphone.vodacom.co.za). In order to have your sim activated by Vodacom, dial Vodacom’s data services customer support on 155, press 2 , 2 and 2 again, and you will be put through to an operator that can activate your SIM for you.
As far as I can see, there is no advantage to using the iPhone APN. Out of bundle rate is still R2/MB (Ridiculous!!!!). Vodacom really needs to catch up to 2009 and start offering cost-effective data services…
