    Telkom prepaid sim with unused unexpired LTE bundle stops with OOB message

    I bought a new prepaid sim in December to test Telkom LTE. I loaded a 60 GByte LTE bundle (valid 61 days). Worked great. I used it in my ZTE mifi every other day or so. 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...

    Online multiplayer game connection issues

    Hi, I’ve been playing Doomsday Last Survivor for about two years now using the MTN LTE Network at the same location throughout. I’ve had no issues connecting up and until about 4 weeks ago. Since then the game randomly reloads, sometimes even a few seconds after opening. It’s particularly bad...

    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...

    Rain Bullying

    @rain_mobile @rain_networks is now bullying me via PM. They want me to pay supposed "due" bills for a service that has not been used in the last 2-3 years. How can we owe anything when we cancelled the service and they never even sent an email or tried to debit my account. It really shows the...

    Uncapped Mobile Data options

    Looking for an alternative to Rain. Their reception is starting to annoy me when I’m in a mall, or driving out of Cape Town or even sometimes when I’m in the CBD and happen to be in a part that magically has at most 1 bar of reception. I’m on the off-peak plan currently and looking for...

    Help understanding download speed please...

    Hello, Going from the title, I have a bit of a problem completely understanding download speeds vs what speed I actually get whilst downloading. I have Airfibre from Supersonic, it's a 20mbps package, and yet my download speed is 2.1mbps. Why? Is it supposed to be this way? I am cancelling SS...

    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.

    Hey there, we are renting a flat from the mine and they refuse to allow fibre installations for some reason. We currently have ADSL but we received communication that support will stop (Telkom ofc) and we will receive interrupted connection from March onwards. So LTE remains our only option. We...
