Sorry , dont know if this has been asked before , but how do you check your data consumption on a contracted sim .ie. the sim in my netbook .
 
Hi

If you have the latest softaware ie. 9.3.6 or vmc 3.2.1 you will have an sms option , you sms the letters MM to the number 31050 this will provide you with your data usage.

You can also register on vodacom4me.co.za and check your balances there.

Is vodacom4me.co.za zero-rated yet?

USSD works really well, on pre-paid, but there seems to be ongoing problems with it on contract (carry over doesn't show up).
 
Also remember the contract data bundles takes a while to update, so what you see isn't always what it is.

I always tell my clients to check this the morning after before they start using their 3G.

Good point thanks Iam3G .
 
Yeah thanks Ginggs , I really like USSD and use it on my prepaid db on my home Laptop . Now that I have a netbook I would also like to monitor the data consumption , although it wont be a lot , I guess I will have to just brace myself for the odd "surprise" every now and then .

Thanks for your interest in helping me VD , but I dont know if this thing even has Vodaphone software ,as everything runs off Globetrotter Connect .
 
OK , now I am really shocked . My sim has been active for one day , firstly it says I had 177.42 threshhold on a 250 meg databundle , (that could be because it is pro-rata for the balance of the month) . I logged on to Vodacom4me last night and it said that I had used 2megs , from yesterday morning which sounds right as I just logged onto google to see if I could browse . Last night I was online for about 35 minutes (on this forum) which we all know doesn't really consume much bandwidth , and this morning when I logged onto Vodacom4me it says that I have used 104megs . Now normally with my prepaid sim I can spend up to 4 hours on this forum and only use 25 -30 megs . Why is this happening ? Is this Vodacoms way of making up lost profits on handsets ?
Is there any way of getting an accurate data consumption record ?
