I have some 50 GByte left until 20 Feb. I popped it into my Huawei B618-65d yesterday (31st Jan). I got a OOB message saying I...

    Backup 5G/LTE router

    Hey all, I've been mulling over this for some time, but I think it's time to get a backup connection (I still WFH, and Vumatel love having random outages on occasion) I recall back when Rain started that the B618 was great, is this still the case? or what are the other offerings? PS. The...

    VoIP over LTE. Airmobile and Telkom LTE

    Does VoIP work over Telkom LTE and afrihost Airmobile networks? Meaning do they block VoIP traffic etc…. Sometimes fibre fails and would like to setup a failover with either of the above-mentioned in a 4g device. Would there be a need to change any APN settings?

    Big Data for Cheap

    I live in an area where there's no fiber, DSL, etc. But LTE service is exceptionally good. I've tested @vodacom, MTN, and @Cell_C (MTN). I'm looking for a high-volume bundle, but with the condition of being most economical. I rely on 200 GB for R349 from Vodacom, or R399 from MTN, or 100 GB for...

    Uncapped mobile deals?

    Anyone know of alternatives to Rain? Currently use rain uncapped off-peak but I absolutely hate the fact that I lose reception when I go into a mall or even walk in the CBD at times. Looking for something similarly priced and month-to-month obviously as I hate contracts.
