On the MyBroadband forums users started complaining about a lack of service on Wednesday evening, with some adding that they couldn’t make or receive calls in Umhlanga either.<\/p>\n
Queried about the problems, a spokesperson for Vodacom said there appears to be a transmission issue causing intermittent problems with data connectivity and calls for some customers in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n
No further details were available at the time of publication, but Vodacom promised to provide updates as soon as more information came to light.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong> Vodacom has said that the issue affecting subscribers in KZN appears\u00a0to have been addressed\u00a0and services are recovering. Initial indications are that the cause of the problem was software-related in the core network, but Vodacom said it is still investigating.<\/p>\n R499 launch special on dual-SIM Windows smartphone<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Afrihost ADSL, mobile top-up data rollover<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n MTN bleeding users to Cell C<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This is who may jam cellular signals in South Africa<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\nMore cellular news<\/h3>\n
