Vodacom Bad Network - "Emergency Calls Only"

Hallo Peter,

I have been using Vodacom for the last few years.

Four days ago the network in my area is on and off the whole time, when I want to make phone calls I simply get a message saying "Emergency Calls Only" or "No Service" while the phone shows that I have full service, the data network still works fine as I am able to receive and send data messages.

I tried switching the phone off and on again, taking out the SIM card, but it is not working. My colleagues who are also using Vodacom are complaining about the same problem. This is highly irritating as I need to manage people and can't use my phone. I am still paying my full contract value despite the fact that I am getting very poor service.

In future I would definitely not use Vodacom again if this problem continues to persist.
