Call Barring on Vodacom

[Shellyb1]

I travel frequently and when I travel, I want to block incoming calls but still enable sms messages to come through.

I used USSD code *330*pin# but this blocks calls and SMS.

Anyone know the USSD code or way to block just calls but allow SMS?

TIA

Thank you - I have this active but still able to receive voice calls. Their roaming still allows for calling, even the SMS roaming option. Thanks

@Shellyb1 I often travel internationally using SMS Roamer and this works well if activated as shown in the URL link.
I normally activate this about 60min BEFORE boarding my international flight whilst waiting in the Int departure lounge, switching of the phone on boarding the plane.

Tested this on many occasions whilst in Europe. My partner tries to give me a test call that always fails as this SMS Roamer has blocked it.

On my return to RSA I only deactivate this after landing then reboot my phone, then we can receive calls again.

If the problem is not resolved please use the email customer service system.
