What do Apple say?

Apple have not made the updated settings available to us yet. While they have confirmed we'll get them, we're not in the wave of operators who just got them recently and will have to wait to get a date from Apple.

In other words, just like you guys we're waiting with baited breath.....

funny how every "apple fan" insists u need to hack/jippo it before it will be 'great'... yet 'apple makes such great stuff' according to them, as long as u modify it...

Yep.

I don't see the need to jailbreak mine personally.

I have to aggree with you. But the new iPad is great. Apps are to big and the free ones are cr@p.

By what measure?
Flipboard - free
Zite - free
XBMC - free
And then just looking at some of the apps I also available for free recently like Snapseed and StarTrackerHD to name but a few.

and you have to lie to download from US site.

who.cares?

Settings -> Cellular Data I put "Internet" as the APN under both the Cellular data and Internet Tethering fields in APN settings. (This might be different for Vodacom)

Settings -> General -> Network -> Personal Hotspot -> Turn on Personal Hotspot.

Worked for Cell C with iPad 3, should work for VC

On a new iPad with a Vodacom SIM there is only a Cellular Data APN field. Hence why everyone is waiting for Apple to release the carrier update.

Some people are reporting issues with the new iPad drooping signal.

Fast, it is. Saw 26MB/s on speedtest.net the other day. Think I posted it somewhere.

Hi jannievanzyl

Yes I have that issue,
What happens is that it works, then sometimes it would drop signal randomly to 1 bar and no E o r 3G! Then I would have to restart the iPad toget it to work again!

Please find a solution it happens often
