    • There are several possibilities; Maybe you have set up call limit on your phone? If not, all outgoing calls may be barred, in which case the steps outlined in this article may be useful. If not, reach out to vodacom directly either by walking into a nearest shop or using the details provided on their website (look at the bottom of the page).

    • Hi. Sorry about that. It appears as if that sometimes happens, from what we have been seeing online. You may wish to tranfer your SIM into another phone and try the call barring code one more time. That’s #330*1111#.
      Make sure you are getting the code right. It starts with a # and not with a *. Otherwise reach out to Vodacom. They are very responsive on Twitter; https://twitter.com/Vodacom

  2. I’m so disappointed at Vodacom SA for not being helpful with the problem I’ve been having of not being able to make calls or receive texts it’s really annoying. I’ve followed every step of disabling call barring but I’m still unable to make calls. So frustrating
