Vodacom Internet Data card Top-up Procedure.
Top-up procedure in adding Airtime to and then converting to a data bundle when using the Vodacom network and a dedicated Data card to surf the Internet.
We assume you own the Huawei USB modem and not on a 24 month contract.
To top-up your account or add airtime to your Data card do the following:
Option 1
Remove the Sim and place it into a cell-phone
1. Buy airtime vouchers at Pick and Pay or through internet banking.
2. Load the airtime onto the Sim card as follows
3. Dial 100 and follow the prompts
4. Check that airtime is loaded by dialling *100#
5. Dial *111#
6. Purchase data bundle option 2
7. Option 3 Data bundles
8. Option 1 Broadband Standard
9. Select your bundle based on the airtime value that you loaded , option 7= 1Gig.
10. Select 1 to proceed
11. Select 1 to confirm and finalise conversion.
12. *100# To confirm available airtime, balance of total vouchers loaded will only reflect and not the data bundle.
If you have problems:
Call Vodacom Customer care by dialling 082111 or
Vodacom support on 082114 from a Vodacom cell-phone
