Vodacom network problems (30 June 2011)

[The_Unbeliever]

Lucky I RICA'd yesterday.

Was wanting to RICA the one SIM today, but decided against it and did it yesterday afternoon.

Now I'm glad I did.

Forget RICA. We need FIXA.

Twitter also down ...

Twitter's up my side - via telkom adsl+mweb uncapped.

Can anyone confirm MTN is up nationally?

Looks like its up and running in PE again?, Confirmed with a couple of colleagues as well.

Edit: Calls still giving problems though

Up-and-down on my side due to overcapacity.

Dunno about nationally, but my MTN phone has worked just fine here in Cape Town, both voice and data.

I dont believe that, My MTN sim and many others I have seen today are fine.

They have denied the outage being linked to RICA, http://www.iol.co.za/business/companies/vodacom-denies-network-outage-related-to-rica-1.1091485

Bunch of idiots - "certain customers" - Its the whole ****ing network you idiots

Certain ranges of sims are affected. Why I believe this is not a transmission problem.

 

[BeVonk!]

This is more a software problem. Why I believe hacking should not be excluded.

Did a battery pull - I have voice now

Error I get is 'Selected network (MTN-SA) unavailable.' I'm with Vodacom.

Need to check my settings? And I HAVE RICA'd my number.
