How to check data balance on Vodacom4me

[Nelson]

Hi Guys,

I am a vodacom data user, I often feel the need to check my data bundle balance while I am surfing the net,

This becomes an inconvenience since I am unable to check data bundle balances on www.vodacom4me.co.za

I have to now disconnect my Internet, remove my data sim and insert it on a phone so I can dial *111#

Does anyone have an alternative to check balances without removing my sim card from my modem?

How do ipad, tablet folks check their balances since I know some tablets do not have the phone dialling functionality.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi Nelson,

It's a two steps solution

1) This step is only needed if you can not see the menu as in the attached pic.

Activate WIG services (sim application)  on your sim dial *141*777# (obviously from a phone) - follow the process via USSD. If you get an SMS it failed you might have to call customer services to have it activated. This is a once off process and will not need to be repeated in the future

2) Once activated (allow time, and reboot the iPad) go on your iPad to Settings--> Cellular Data --> SIM Applications.

From there the process is quite self explanatory, and it is exactly the same as dialling *111#

Another solution consist SMSing "altnum 0xx xxxxxxx" to 123 (from your data sim - free)  where the x represent an alternate number where you want the usage messages sent

I hope this helps

I am still trying to get the data balance on my Vodacom Mobile Modem without taking the simm card out.

I do know the cellphone number.

There is, of course, no keyboard to dial *111#

Any ideas?

Hi

Check out this post. Let me know if it helped.

If you do know your number then try registering for My Vodacom. You can then login from your PC, mobi or from the My Vodacom app to get your latest balances as well as buy additional bundles if needed.
