Following a complaint from one MyBroadband forum member about problems with their Samsung<\/a> Galaxy S3 LTE, Vodacom has explained that there aren\u2019t widespread issues\u00a0with the device.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevices sold are configured for the Vodacom<\/a> [Long Term Evolution (LTE<\/a>)] network,\u201d a Vodacom spokesperson told MyBroadband.<\/p>\n

However, the first 1,000 Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE units do need to be reconfigured if a customer resets the device, Vodacom said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a device and not a network issue,\u201d Vodacom said.<\/p>\n

Another complaint was that a SIM that wasn\u2019t properly provisioned for the Vodacom LTE network was unable to connect to the 3G network when in an LTE coverage area.<\/p>\n

Vodacom said that this shouldn\u2019t happen, but added that there are different Access Point Names (APNs) for the 3G and LTE networks.<\/p>\n

If a SIM is provisioned for LTE, the device should use the\u00a0lte.vodacom.za<\/em>\u00a0APN, otherwise it should use the normal\u00a0internet<\/em>\u00a0APN.<\/p>\n
