Which color lights are blinking? And how fast? Is it one blink every few seconds? Or is it a green rapid blink?

Put the SIM in a cellphone and dial a number. Do this to check if your account is maybe suspended.
 
Its blinking green once every 3-5 sec.

according to the sms's on the VMC sms utility, the account was softlocked, then 20min later, unlocked

Then its possible that its still softlocked. It can take up to 24hours or more.

Try it again later, and if it still does that contact Vodacom Customer Care to confirm.
