I am really just trying to see what the current balance is on my data bundles, so I don't get hammered with the OOB rates ... can't get into v4me at all, from IS ADSL as well as VC HSDPA. Login screen opens, but never get past it ... anyone else having problems again?

Are you prepaid? A good way to check your balance on Prepaid is to send a SMS to 100 with the word balance. A SMS is returned giving your account balance and data bundle balance(if any). For the past few days though its not been working well. Sent the SMS this morning and still nothing.

If you on Contract, send the word MM to 31050, a SMS gets returned with your used amount and remaining amount.
 
V4me site was having issues with security early this week - apparenty there was a major security loop hole... maybe thats why you cant connect - could stand to be corrected though :confused:

I am on contract, and normally use *111#[Green button] to get balances, but it only shows balances for Bolt-ons, and not Ad-hoc bundles

You pay for the SMS to 31050, right?

No its free. Just send the SMS straight from your Dashboard. You dont need to put it in your phone.

But will it give me the Ad-hoc balances. Also, it is a Data SIM in my notebook, so from phone/data sim won't make any difference :)

Well logically it should give you the used and remaining balance on that particular SIM.

My Data Sim has no balances of its own so to speak, only my main contract SIM has balances:

Response from 31050: Sorry, we are unable to calculate your GPRS bundle status
 
Is Landyman trying to be difficult today? I've just been to Midstream estate...lol

There is a problem with Vodacom's SMS service - I just sent 100 'balance' from my dashboard and haven't received anything back.
