Vodacom South Africa VoLTE

Vodacom South Africa enabled VoLTE on 10 April 2015 in SA. Will I be able to use this service immediately if provisioned by the network or will APPLE need to send out a Carrier Setting update first?

Forgive me for being stupid here, I switch off the phone, then plug the usb cable in pressing the HOME button at the same time. When iTunes open up it mentions that the phone is in recovery mode. I hold shift (windows pc) and click on restore, giving me the option to choose the file, which I happely does, then it verify the firmware file on apple, comes back and says the firmware cannot be restored. Read on different post that the 3.1.3 isn't signed anymore ? which is the reason it is doing it.

South Africa Lumia 920 MTN Portico update

When will the MTN Portico update be release in South Africa?
Vodacom South Africa has already received their update on the 21/01/2013.

Hi, I have a question which is a follow up on this first one. I bought my Lumia 920 in South Africa on December 14, unbranded and Sim free but for the MTN network. I am no longer in South Africa and can use the Sim for the network of my choice, Although the phone tile says "Home Network" instead of the carrier name. I checked for the Portico update and couldn;t find it until this Sunday Evenning when I received a message that it can now be downloaded.
I held off on downloading it however, because a friend of mine recently updated his Lumia 610, - bought in one country, unbranded and sim free, works with the same carrier i use - after the reboot he was asked for the carrier unlock code which he didn;t have or know.
My question is, will the same thing happen for me, or do I have to get in touch with MTN first? (won't be in South Africa for at least another month because of my work).
Thanks in advance to anyone who will consider my question.

URGENT Vodafone "vodacom" blackberry service stopped Working in CDMA phones in WHOLE South africa

customers using CDMA devices like storm 9530,tour 9630 ....can not use blackberry service due to vodafone "vodacom" netWork issues !!!!!!
it looks like they have removed CDMA device identifiers for their BB service books, so any time a CDMA device attempts to re-register with the network (such as after an update), they cannot do so. and they blame it on the cdma phones ...........
here is vodacom comment regarding the issue:
VODAFONE WANTS US TO BUY NEW PHONES....!!!!!!
On behalf of Vodacom, kindly accept our sincere apology for the manner in which your enquiry was dealt with and for any inconvenience caused.
The Blackberry device you are using is a Blackberry CDMA device.
Blackberry CDMA devices are brought to South Africa from foreign networks.
Blackberry CDMA devices are experiencing problems with the Blackberry service due to the incompatibly of these CDMA devices with our GPRS/3G Networks.

Can I using any SIM card at any where in my IPhone4 when I purchase from South Africa Vodacom ??

Can I using any SIM card at any where(even oversea's sim card) in my IPhone4 when I purchase from South Africa Vodacom ??

You are correct, I did a little digging as well.
Here is an official Apple document that confirms what Lucas found. That way you can see the information directly from the source itself.

I have a Macbook Air purchased in 2011 in the US. I am traveling in South Africa and am unsure if I need a step down voltage converter before I plug my laptop into the wall to charge it (using an outlet adapter). Am I ok to just plug in?

So standard electrical output from wall outlets in the US is 110V - 120V, and standard output from wall outlets in South Africa is 220V - 240V. In SA I know I can plug in an iPhone using the iPhone charging cable and it will automatically step down the voltage, thus preventing my phone from overheating. I cannot plug in a hairdryer or flat iron without step down voltage converter in SA. Can I use the charger that came with my US 2011 Macbook Air and plug into a wall outlet in South Africa or do I need to purchase a step down voltage converter in order to charge my laptop while in SA?

You only need a plug adaptor as long as the voltage is between 100 and 240 volts.

Will an iPad work in South Africa?

I spend most of my year in South Africa. I'd like to purchase an I-pad in the States and use it in South Africa. Will it work there? A guy at the Genius Bar in NYC told me if I get an ipad with the AT&T plan, it will work in South Africa via SIM card.

I Just returned from s Africa. You can buy 2 gb including chip for US 24 from Vodacom at any mall. Make free phone calls using a VPN into US and use data plan over google voice and talkatone app
3g speed is ok in cities and along major roads
lots of free wifi in hotels usually with some max 50 or 100 mb
vpn from witopia - can watch us tv.

Imported iPad in South Africa

I live in South Africa and want to buy an iPad from either USA or Hong Kong, will it work with my carrier?

Hi Priya
I'm loving my new 3G 32GB iPad. I got it from a client of mine who lives in the states. My US iPad works 100% apart from the problem I came across in my post.
I currently have an iPhone data contract from Vodacom and all I did was went to my local Vodashop and bought a micro sim card which cost R99. They added a new data bundle for my iPad to my existing contract and it was very quick and easy to do.
I would recommend getting it from the states because they are currently half the prices from what I saw on wantitall.co.za
My iPad is unlocked. I didn't have to crack it, jail break it or whatever they do nowadays. I took it out of the sealed box and started using it.

South Africa App Store REALLY *****??

What is going on with the South Africa App Store?
There is no DRM on apps, so there is no reason that we cannot have exactly the same apps as the rest of the world.
But the No.1 rated app in the South Africa App store is KOI POND??
and NO GAMES WHATSOEVER?
<Edited by Moderator>

I agree, would Vodacom have any influence over that?
I still think its poor, if I can buy games on my PS3 and Steam and many other online platforms why not on Itunes?
It all just seems like a poor effort from Apple. Possibly a "couldn't care less" attitude.
I bought my first iPod because of the lure of buying music via iTunes, felt like I'd been conned when I actually installed it.
Got excited about the iPod games... (no DRM there right?) again sorry for me..
Guess I should have been already holding my ankles when I bought the iPhone to the lure of awesome games and phone thats also an iPod.
Imagine, I thought, waking up to my own custom play list in the morning...
Little did I know: its either a phone or an iPod, not both. You want a music Ring tone? SUCKER!!!! No music iTunes store in SA means NO MUSIC RING TONES FOR YOU!
So what that you have four of your favorite CD's right on the phone.
No sms forwarding either (why???)
and NO COOL GAMES! let alone any useful apps.
Here are some of my favorites:
*Australian Post Codes* ( Saves me having to memorize them )
*Point of Interest* (in Germany)
Delight(ful) (Where else would I get the kitchen utensils I import?)
Staumelder ( I just love Germain writing, I just can't help but stare ate the application description in wonder!)
*iBUS-Portland, OR* ( who wouldn't use that? AND its FREE)
I could go on and on, without even being able to list the ones that display as little blocks on my screen, I assume because I am in the wrong country.
But then I know I'm in the wrong country.... as far as iTunes and Apple are concerned anyway.
Since my first post was censored, I will say it again in a nice way:
Pretty please Apple, pay some attention to the (very) poor state of your iTunes SA Store,

South africa trip

I am going to Cape Town South africa in March. Does my Ipad have a converter to change from 220 volts to 110 volts or do I need to purchase a converter?

You just need an adapter kit to work with the charger to have the correct pins.

I lived in the US for a few years, spent a fortune on iTunes [my then local Apple ID account]. Now I live in South Africa and want to use Match. I have a local credit card but how do I use my new / 2nd Apple ID and gain access to all my US music??

You have to be in a country to use its store - you will need to be in the US and have a US billing address on your account to be able to use the US store (that applies to buying and redownloading).
You can use iTunes Match in South Africa, do you not have a backup copy of all of your US iTunes purchases so that you can subscribe to it and upload those that aren't in the South African store to it ?
