    Does any cell phone provider in this country or any MVNO like Afrihost or FNB, have a feature where you can receive your SMSes on their app or on their website?

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread Part 2

    The speeds in Vredehoek Cape Town are really bad at peak hours, especially now - Friday night. Only getting 10mbps on a 50mbps line. Is this an Afrihost issue or an Octotel one? Had Vumatel with Mind The Speed before and never had issues like this, speed was constantly at 50mbps if not more. On...

    Google Pixel 6 and eSIM in South Africa

    Damn. cancelled again by google store. even after trying my US payments profile. I'm gonna resort to BestBuy or B&H. They both offer the free earbuds, Amazon doesnt. Or might try the MYUS shopping assistant.

    Google Pixel 6 and eSIM in South Africa

    Also had the same issue. Cancelled for no reason. Called their support and cant even provide an answer. Whats weird is that I used my SA credit card and MYUS when I ordered from them 2 months ago, and no issues then. Only thing I can think of, is I might have used my SA payments profile on...

    Google Pixel 6 and eSIM in South Africa

    Hot tip: When using MyUS, prepay for the customs with MyUS. They miscalculated on my last phone and I saved the extra 7%

    Amazon Shipping to South Africa

    Late reply, but yes I had to return an item that arrived wet! of all things. Was very simple, they sent me a DHL waybill and I stuck it to the box and DHL collected it. Oh and I had to fill in an export document, since I was "exporting" it back to the US. DHL helped with that doc.

    Amazon Shipping to South Africa

    No, its only if you choose AmazonGlobal Expedited and it will say 3-5 weeks. The other shipping options are quicker, I think Priority is DHL or UPS for example if 7-10 days

    Amazon Shipping to South Africa

    Turns out "AmazonGlobal Expedited" is also Aramex. Package 1 arrived, took 3 weeks. Took about 2 week to get to SA, and 10 days to pass through customs. Package 2 arrived, took 5 weeks. Took about 2 week to get to SA, and 3 weeks to pass through "port health" customs

    Amazon Shipping to South Africa

    Anyone used the new "AmazonGlobal Expedited" shipping service? It must be a month or so old, because I've never seen it before. I know Priority is DHL/UPS and Standard is Aramex. But what is Expedited. Amazon says its quicker than Standard, but slower than Priority. Is it Fedex Economy? And for...

    Afrihost relocation - lose R599 rate?

    Hey Afrihost, been with you guys for ages. I'm relocating end of month and currently I have the R599 10/10, because I was previously on 8/2. When I tried the relocation process, looks like I'll be made to pay R749. Any chance you can keep me on R599 and retain a happy customer?

    Afrihost - Pure Fibre Feedback Thread

    Windscribe says no P2P in SA, but apparently it's just a suggestion/warning, because it does work. I've had no problem using it this afternoon, getting 100% full speed, no jokes. As mentioned, $2 and your problem is solved. $1 for SA server, $1 for unlimited bandwidth, even though they give you...

    What is the highest CAA number plate?

    I'm registering my car soon, and was wondering how long till the CAA numbers run out. What number are they on now? Apparently the WC will become mandatory, so I'm just waiting for WC to kick in, then I'll register.
