Vodacom using Norway????

I post a lot on www.darklight.co.za

now, there they automatically detect what country you in by checking where your connection is coming from.

Now, last week I figured out how to use my K750i as my modem. I connect using the gprs.vodacom network. And when I connect there using my phone it says my country is norway?!?!?!?!?! At my previous employer it said Switzerland because everything was handled by the Swiss so that explains that.

But Vodacom and Norway? Strange!

What could have happened is that your phone's IPv6 address was picked up by DarkLight and that IP might be registered in Norway. (Apparently all mobiles use only IPv6)

I had a look around and spoke to people who run the MUD (Multi-User-Dimension) I play on about it, they showed my IP that was being sent through to them and it also showed up as being sent through Norway.

Maybe vodacom has now linked up to VodaFone for faster GPRS or more stable GPRS and VodaFone has some of the networks being maintained in Norway?!
