Sim still not activated ..
The sim is for the data card. I tried it every now and then .. also in my cell phone. Called the shop about 25 hours after i got the card. They called back later, said "the network was very busy .. it would take another 4 to 6 hours" . Now it is next morning, another 16 or 17 hours later .. and nothing yet .. going to call agan now. )Vodashop in Kenilworth Centre, Kenilworth , Cape Town).

Still not active ..
But I set up a pre-paid sim and is using that now .. anyways had a hard time to get the 3G card working (unlike the different looking one I borrowed from work ). Seems the software / drivers packed with mine was not compatible with the same card / firmware. Now it works fine in Muizenberg .. now and then reverts to GPRS .. maybe I just need a little antenna or something.

I also waited a few days. ...and then started battling to get it working. Just be patient.
Antenna should improve things. Mine does.
Also try to use 3G only or GPRS only profiles. This jumping around thing does not work that nicely.

Connected ...
Just received a call. Good. And a technician at my work gave me a GSM antenna to try out .. I just need to change the connector on it. Will do tonight after the cricket game at Newlands.

B.t.w.
Luckily I already battled and got it working yesterday .. on a pre-paid sim card. My sister visits at my flat and seems to be online all day .. but only irc chatting and msn, seems to not cost an arm and a leg ( I can check the usage, although up to 3 hours late, on Vodacom4me ).
