Incorrect settings detected SMS?

Got the same problem as Archie, got the sms, replied "yes", and no internet since. Tried manually entering the wap settings but still nothing...

My problem actually got sorted out by itself after 2 or 3 days... hang in there.
 
Have gotten the dumb message twice so far. But my phone is working just fine so I ignored it.
Is that bad of me?
 
Hi, what are vodacom settings for using nokia phone as modem on a mac? I often get this sms.

Sometimes I also get it when using pc suite (windows)
 
Got the the same SMS this morning, phone is working as intended... so will not reply :)
 
So what settings should one use for mac? (the manually entered ones for dialup 3G modem..)

should I be using iphone.vodacom.za instead of internet?

If you are using a usb modem with your mac then the "internet" apn is fine. It is only Ipad's and Iphones that uses the Iphone APN as they connect to the network with their own radio. Although...the internet apn works fine on Iphones and Ipads too. When my sister got her Ipad I could not remember what the iphone apn was so I just put internet and it is working fine.
 
Got the same SMS but from a DIFFERENT number ( 0820092020 ), replied "yes" to it and the result:

Prepaid balance before replying "yes" = R14-76

Prepaid balance AFTER replying "yes" = R 4-76 - OOPS!!!

Clearly a rip-off !!!

Hope you !@#$%^&* choke on the R10-00 you just scammed out of me. God forbid the day I stop being a good person and start applying my knowledge to crime.
 
Also got that stupid SMS - phone is working great. Not going to fix what ain't broke. So I deleted it.

Send your details to VD so we can trace it. The Touch Point system won't charged for an SMS. This sounds fishy.

The system automatically fixes a few million incorrectly configured handsets per month. During the soccer world cup, Touch Point was a significant contributor to foreign visitors having a good network experience.
 
I also keep on getting this SMS and it seems to occur when my active APN is FNB Connect.
