Did Cell C deactivate Vodacom roaming on my sim?

We have a winner, winner chicken dinner! Congrats you figure it out :)
 
VC roaming in Capetown has been deactivated.
:eek:

Does this affect everyone on Cell-C or just Red Bull Mobile customers?
When did this happen, and how much longer will it go on for?
What about the customers complaining in other areas?
 
HI ginggs

Unfortunately i cant answer that.
I just know, its for testing to help the implementing of the roll out of new towers.

**** All
Got to remember i can only blog thing's like this once i have the official go ahead.
Even if i know earlier, only once approved can i blog.

will try to find out more, info .

I'm amazed nobody had done before.

It was the first time I set eyes on your nick though... :D

Now we gotta wait for the others to get clued up :D

Maybe they did, just no one said anything. Does not matter. It's not like it was a competition for it, you know :) But it's nice to have a member who knows "the classics"

Sorry Sell_C, i'm little confuse here. What are you trying to say? Are you saying that CellC is aware of the problem, but they are not allowing you to say anything. Because if it is, that does not make sense at all. Is there anybody working on the problem or you are not allowed to tell us. I'm really not sure what you are trying to say. Would you be please more specific. We are sitting with this problem for more then a two months and you are aware of it. I personally and specifically ask you if it is going to be fixed by the festive season and your reply was that i'm not forgotten. Ja nice one.
 
Hi All

Seen as there has been a miss understanding to my other post.
Hope this clears things up a bit.

As full coverage is been rolled out in section through out cape town,
Roaming is been disabled on certain VC towers.
As for other areas in South Africa I'm still awaiting feedback.

This cannot be the case, as roaming works fine on my other cellc sim. What happens when there's no cellc coverage? Must we just be satisfied with no data connection?

Are you in Cape Town? Are you saying that it works on one Cell-C SIM and not another Cell-C SIM?

It sounds to be like they are only doing this in areas with full coverage, just as ajax figured:
Could it be that roaming is disabled in some areas but not all? I.e. where there is "sufficient" coverage for Cell C Vodacom has disabled roaming?
 
Yes, in CPT. 3 sims next to me. Two prepaid ones work, whereas my contract sim is not working.
 
It is a normal CellC voice contract, tho I do believe this problem is persisting mostly in RBM.

I'm sure CellC's response about VC's towers being disabled are not true. Then why is my other sims working?

There is no reason for such statement. It could be other reason. How old is your SIM? Maybe it needs software update or sim swap.

VC roaming may not yet have been disabled in your area and you may be experiencing a different problem with your Cell-C contract SIM.
 
Its my sim in question, cell c needs to provision it.
And what if your SIM is just faulty? What did you do from your side to fix this problem? Go to the place you have purchased the contract.
