Hi,

I have a vodafone prepaid connection that i use on my Ipad for data connection. As the ipad does not support sms messaging as a normal cell phone, how do I find how much money is left in the connection ?

I also do not have a Iphone or any other phone that can use the micro sim, so there is no way I can use the call facility for finding out the balance amount.

please help...

I wonder how you guys are doing this ??

thanks
a

thanks I found it exactly as you mentioned.

I was looking for a Vodafone app that does this and also gets the amount left in my prepaid account, it seems they do not have an app for India.

Thanks

We have apps here for our carriers but I prefer using the above way....it's just faster for me....

Also, I can log on to my Carrier's site and check my usage on my prepaid account here...have you tried that?

I tried logging on, but for registering the account, they send the password via SMS, but as the IPad does not support SMS I can't see how I can receive it. vodafone service is very good in India but their customer support is awful.

Thanks
