Hey robass

It will work but you need to change the APN to internet.

Out of interest, how do you change the APN? I've always just dials *99# or something.

Never bothered installing the Vodacom or MTN software.

Ah - cool - thanks!

 

[robass]

None of these work , please I need help as my data with MTN is depleting and I am reluctant to get more .

 

[robass]

Would I be able to take my MTN e220 to a Vodashop and ask them to set it up for me or will they tell me to F - Off ?

 

[robass]

OK finally got it to work by downloading Mobile Partner . Is there any way that you can check your megs without having to remove the sim and inserting into your phone then dialing the 111 number ?

 

[ginggs]

You can change the APN and check your bundle balance with MDMA.

 

[robass]

Thanks Ginggs , I did that , but when I type in *111# , it tells me "*** bad USSD response received ***"

 

[robass]

How do you convert airtime to Data , using mdma , I can do it with MTN but not with Vodacom ?

Have you already registered your SIM on the network?
Could also be a temporary problem on the system, is it still happening?

You should just be able to do it using the menu on *111#.

 

[robass]

Yeah got it working now Ginggs , it was a temporary thing , thanks
