Afrihost airmobile (legacy sim) battery draining

[d.casper.b]

Is there any feedback on this? I can't even get a a proper day's use at all now. I got home to 20% battery remaining at around 17:30, and now I checked and it was on 1%. Back on charge.

Hi.

Yes, Airmobile MVNO is now affected. It used to be strictly on CGNAT IPs. For the numbers affected, I have enabled NAT.
The team is checking if they can prioritise NAT IP allocation for mobile services.

You have been aware of this for more than a week minimum. Why isnt it fixed yet? Im also affected

Just port away. It’s been an issue for almost a decade now. Will never get fixed. https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/threads/afrihost-apn-high-battery-drain-explained-not-solved.985927/

I thought it was just my ageing phone but it turns out I'm in the same boat as you guys. public IP as well.

it has gotten worse since the fix to be honest

Hi. For clients still receiving public IPs on Airmobile, please go to airplane mode, then no-airplane mode.

Seems to be fixed for me now, thank you

I have monitored my AirMobile devices since the new fix was implemented and have observed no additional battery drain. The issue seems to be resolved for now.

Yes, I charged to 80% at 04:00am yesterday, and 31 hours later I am sitting on 36% battery. Now I can again manage 2 days with 80% charge. I will only charge tonight again. Thank you all and @Afrigirl for your constant feedback.
