Vodacom only? There's no reason for them not to send to the other networks if they're using a remotely decent WASP.
On the good side, it means I won't be annoyed considering I'm on MTN.

Doesn't seem to cost anything. I just tested it now and it didn't cost me anything. Doesn't make much sense, so it should be tested further.

No, think about it.
Only for Vodacom? How many people are going to get Vodacom simcards now that there's this option?
Don't get me wrong, but I smell something fishy going on here...
