Firmware vs Software

In order for a DataCard to function, it relies on two applications or programmes. One application resides on the card itself and the other application resides on the computer that the card is installed into. The Application that resides on the card is called Firmware and the application that resides on the computer is called Software.

Disclaimer

The software accompanying the Vodafone Mobile Connect Card includes a usage counter, aimed at giving an indication of the 3G and GPRS data (MB) that has been consumed during the use of the Vodafone Mobile Connect Card.

Please note:
The usage counter gives as accurate a reflection of data usage as possible, but accuracy can not be guaranteed. It should be seen as being indicative of total use during a given month only.

There are a number of occurrences and factors that could influence the accuracy of the usage counter. These include but are not limited to:

  1. You manually reset the usage counters in the software
  2. You reinstall the software at any point after initial usage
  3. You take the card, insert in another laptop and install the software
  4. You use the Vodafone Mobile Connect Card and software in multiple laptops or devices
  5. You connect via any means other then the "Connect" button in the dashboard
  6. You close your laptop (closing screen) without pressing disconnect
  7. You exit the dashboard by clicking on the exit (x) button
  8. You disconnect in any way other than using the "disconnect" button
  9. You remove the SIM card from the Vodafone Mobile Connect Card

Vodacom will not accept any responsibility or liability for inaccurate indications of data usage in the software and any possible discrepancies between the usage counter and actual data usage that the customer will be billed for.
