v3g,

Any idea when it will be possible to load Vodata on the 64K sim?
Had to do an urgent transfer this morning via my cellphone but I couldn't, 'cause ALAS, no more VODATA.

Thanks

Vodata :confused: New marketing term?

Nope, thats what it has always been called ... The Vodacom services installed on your SIM to do banking, weather, lotto, etc.
 
Ok, i think i c now :), the problem being that Vodata can be loaded onto a 32k sim but not a 64k sim [yet].

Have you tried dialing *141*777# . I think thats how you start the Vodata donwload? ... I dont have a 64k, but when I got my 32k it was blank ... had to download Vodata menu's.

Yes, and I get SMS's with funny characters in them when doing that.
Vodacom confirmed (I phoned 111) that it is not working on 64k sims

Bad news man .... thought it was worth a shot. I had my eye on a 64K SIM as well, thanks for saving me the pain ... I also need Vodata (WIG) for banking.
 
My phone was stolen and I had to do a sim swap and with the new sim I can't get Vodata to work. I can download it on to the sim but if I try adding a service and go to list it sends the sms and then just shows requesting the whole time. I've tried customer care and they say they dunno what it is because everything is right on their side. I'm using a 6680 with a 64k sim which is exactly what I was using before and it used to work with my previous phone and sim.
 
I have a 072, number, and 1 guy told me at a vodashop that I cannot be upgraded to a 64k sim. I am still using the 8 k.
Will there be big difference if I move up to 32k?

I am using 3G a lot.
