    Does this still work? I've read that MS has clamped down on the use of cheap Indian codes outside of India (even with using VPNs). I'm looking for the cheapest way to get Gamepass as my sub expires next week. Would appreciate some advice.

    Openserve Webconnect package?

    Hi! So yes, I got the Openserve Webconnect package for him. I chose to go with Axxess as the ISP simply because they didn't charge an activation fee. A few things: It seems to be doing the job but with a few things to note. It comes with it's own small modem/router. Although the router has...

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

    Hi @PBCool I'm reaching out here as a last resort from my side. I've had endless connection issues since moving to Openserve from Octotel nearly 3 weeks ago (Cool ideas my ISP throughout). My connection drops on a nearly daily basis, and stays down until I restart my ONT each time to...

    Moved from Octotel to Openserve - is this latency normal?

    About 2 weeks ago I migrated from Octotel to Openserve while retaining Cool Ideas as my ISP. It hasn't been smooth sailing at all. Constant disconnects from Openserve, ranging from a few seconds to 2 hours. Have to frequently reboot my router/ONT to re-establish a connection. Cool Ideas have...

    Openserve Webconnect package?

    No worries - I forgot to click "reply" to your post so you probably didn't get a notification. Thanks for following up.

    Openserve Webconnect package?

    Ah ok thanks. Reason for me asking is because it shows the R575 fee as applicable when I was on the "choose package" screen for the address in question.

    Openserve Webconnect package?

    Thanks! Certainly makes sense. Just to be clear on the activation fee of R575 for Afrihost on Webconnect - I presume this cost wouldn't fall away though by using this promo and migrating to Afrihost after the free 30 days?

    Openserve Webconnect package?

    Hi @AfriNatic I see Openserve Webconnect is running a promo with a free month of Webconnect before having the option to then only sign up with an ISP. I may consider this route for my dad's medical practice. https://openserve.co.za/news-and-campaigns/get-30-days-free-uncapped-internet-today...

    Cool Ideas Fibre ISP – Feedback Thread 4

    I moved from Octotel to Openserve last week (kept Cool Ideas) but it’s been rough hey. Constant drops for short and long periods on Openserve. My line has been down for about an hour now and logged a ticket 20220203-868389. Hope it’s just teething issues but my Octotel line was far more...

    Best VoIP service provider where you can keep your Telkom landline number?

    Thanks. Did you try this with Telkom VOIP perhaps? The Openserve guys just came to connect our old POTS phone to the Openserve Fibre ONT. We didn't have to change to a VOIP phone for the house. I must still test the quality though. But it would be nice to have our housephone number linked to a...

    Telkom IP Voice Service

    I have the same question - may go the Telkom VOIP route but want to know if there's a softphone app I can use with this account.

    Does anyone know if Telkom VOIP can be used via a free softphone app on cellphones? In a similar way to how you can receive landline call using the Vox Vobi app if you're with them? Is Zoiper free and would it work with Telkom VOIP?

    Best VoIP service provider where you can keep your Telkom landline number?

    Thanks, let me know how you find the quality with Telkom's VOIP if you don't mind? I am deciding between their option or VOX's R171pm unlimited calls package. I don't know if one is superior to the other in terms of reliability/call quality etc... Lastly - are you using a VOIP phone? Or using...

    Reviving an old comment - @mh348 did you go with Telkom VOIP in the end? How has your experience been?
