Ah. That's good at least. Odd that 121 isn't behaving though.

I know, just refuses to connect. Dialing starts then disconnects.

Odd...and sending a please call me?
I mean I'd expect one of these other services to also ignore you if 121 isn't working...

Ja, that worked as well.
Here's what it does.

Solved this little issue. It must have been a Vodacom thing. I decided to log onto my vodacom account at https://myvodacom.secure.vodacom.co.za/vodacom/myvodacom/my-summary
Under the Services section, down at the bottom of the page, in section Messaging Services is an item called "Mailbox", reflecting that it's "active". You can deactivate it. I did so. Tried calling 121 again, it connected, voice prompt telling me I have not got an active voicemail box now, press 1 to create one or press 2 to just get missed call notifications by SMS. I selected 2 and it's done.
Like I said, I don't use voicemail, so it actually could not have been working when I was on LP, who knows how long.
I learned something new today

Does sound as if it could have been disabled. Funny how you only noticed it now though.
I never dial into voicemail. I don't even know what made me try the other day.

Depends. Google Services is an umbrella for many Google services as the name suggests.
Location, music, sync, WiFi, LTE radio etc... How long does your battery last? If it's a few hours and Google Services is using 29%, then you have a problem. If it's a day or more, then it's pretty average.

This.
Could also be because the phone is fresh out the box that it needs to update a few things in the background.
Give it a week or so and see how it performs then.
I can try that. Also can google now launcher cause google services to comsume battery
