    Impossible to cancel my rain account

    So @rain_mobile (or his department) just phoned me to inform me that he is handling my case. He processed the cancellation and allocated a credit for the past few months that I was debited for both services. I can also now see the services was removed from my "raingo.co.za" portal. So much...

    Impossible to cancel my rain account

    Oh you are so right, I have also had the same issue with FNB, they have also made it impossible to handle unique or non-standard problems. You can't speak to the same person, and they simply also log a ticket. Even when you go into a FNB branch and you have a business account related enquiry...

    the101 external antenna mod

    No the new the101 routers are using eSIMs so you can't remove it. I actually have the same issue, but I also have the standard 101 router, rather than the pro. But my solution is to put the router in a plastic container and mount the container on a pole, similar to "CPE" routers. Then I'll use...

    RAIN: No External Antennas or Custom Routers

    Hi All, So I thought I would post this here, since it may be something that someone else need to know. I've been using external LTE antennas for my Rain internet (using my own LTE router), this was on the old 4G packages, where you just went and got a SIM from Clicks stores and didn't get a...

    Impossible to cancel my rain account

    Hey MyBB, I just thought I would also add my name to the list of "Impossible to Cancel" clients from Rain. The issue with rain is that you can't get hold of them. Basically you phone their official number, then get put through to a call centre in India, who basically type out a ticket and post...

    Is AbsoluteHosting down?

    My VPS services are up and running again. I would recommend that everyone affected should think about redundancy. If your business cannot survive a 24 hour outage you need to look at co-location and/or DR. I have spread my VPS requirements across a two providers, so if one fail, I can restore...

    WASPA Scam (AKINGA VERTICAL SERVI)

    And they are at it again. Just realised my Telkom bill has a new subscription of R1.50 from "AKINGA VERTICAL SERVI" since 19 March 2023 on that Same LTE router at the holiday home. I'm not even near that router to sign up for anything. This time I also can't cancel the service from the Telkom...

    WASPA Scam (AKINGA VERTICAL SERVI)

    No, so they "charge" each day, and when you don't have funds it fail, so they just continue to charge daily and when funds are available it goes off. Also, I've noticed that they compound, so however they get you to "subscribe" over your wifi using shady ads or something, everytime you fall for...

    Sorry, the last part of the conversation could not be attached, so let me try on a second post... Not the disconnect on this conversation even though I've provided information and was waiting on them.

    FNB Secure Chat (Premier)

    To top all of this, let me tell the story in images... While reading notice the timestamps, and try to keep track of how many times the conversation started over and was transferred. Luckily I have an easy condition to explain but see how even something as simple as this cannot be assisted...

    FNB Secure Chat (Premier)

    I'm disappointed that these post were made in 2020, it's now 2023 and FNB has not figured this out. People experience different issues, but I'm are later to the fact that the implementation of the app is badly done. Second that they advertise you can chat "online" and on the app, but the...

    WASPA Scam (AKINGA VERTICAL SERVI)

    Just adding my 5c. I've had the same happen to me, have a Telkom SIM in an LTE router, in a holiday home. Just now realised when I looked at the bill that they are billing me for this "AKINGA VERTICAL SERVI" @ R3/day. I used the Telkom app to view the Subscriptions on that number and see that...
