Hi Ockie

Hope things are going good on your side.

Wanted to find out.

My Alarm system at home runs a Vodacom Pre-paid sim for SMS notifications.
It also allows me to remotely connect via an application but in order for this to happen the SIMCARD/Vodacom network needs to be able to allow remote connections.

From what I heard these remote ports are blocked by default on the Vodacom network. In order for me to get access I need to have the sim card provisioned on an unrestricted Vodacom APN.

Question. Do you have any details on this ?

Thanks in advanced
Ryan

There is PM (private message) functionality especially for this kind of situation in which you want to ask a specific question of a person

OP, you need to ask Vodacom to enable the unrestricted APN on your cell number. I am not sure if you can do it for a prepaid service. If you email me, I will send you the form.
 
Hi All, Thanks for the answers

I eventually got hold of someone at Vodacom that knows what I am talking about

You need to fill out a form and log a call with them.

This is basically a Unshaped 3G connection

Not unshaped, unresticted as in there isn't a firewall on incoming connections.
