MTN recently removed their geo-block on their VoWiFi, but it works intermittently at best.
Vodacom works best, Telkom a close second. I’ve even turned roaming off on both those lines.
I’ve been on Vodacom’s R299 PowerFlex (20GB + 20GB, 300 minutes) for a while now, and it’s been perfect for me.
I haven’t gotten debited this month, and therefore haven’t gotten my benefits for the month. VodaPay still has my next payment date as the 31st of August.
Each customer service...
Vodacom/Telkom prepaid VoWiFi work like a charm overseas (for me, at least).
In fact, I keep roaming deactivated to make sure I still pay local rates.
Not sure about this solution long term though.
I have a spare number I’ve been parking on one of my rainOne sims that I want to start using.
If I port it out, will the SIM get assigned a new number (as I am paying for it, after all)?
I’m aware Telkom assigns new numbers to SIMs after a port out, even if it’s just regular prepaid.
