Tried to log a call at the call centre this morning to active the known LTE APN for my Pre-pay sim used in the new Iphone 5, Just to be told this is not possible nor is there any way to have a service call log for this option.
I believe they should at least log the call and notify me once this is possible, It's not like this service should be for contract clients only. I can only guess their billing system is not able to stay current with active usage against the credit on the pre-pay simcard and could run into a negative amount.

Makes me wonder.
 
Vodacom did make it very clear to the press that LTE will not be available to Top Up and prepaid clients @ launch. This will follow later.

Even if it was available to prepaid, it would not help you now as LTE is disabled on the Iphone 5 in South Africa and will only be available early next year. My understanding is that the feature needs to be enabled by Apple still.

It will be communicated to the shops once LTE is made available on Vodacom (EDIT: for the Iphone 5).
