Afrihost AirMobile eSIM sign-up tested

[Jan]

We tested Afrihost AirMobile’s eSIM sign-up — and it is awesome

Afrihost relaunched its AirMobile products on Monday, 5 February 2024, along with a new smartphone app and eSIM support that lets customers sign up online and get connected without visiting a store to RICA.

We tested Afrihost’s new systems, and they worked excellently.

Some customers did report running into issues preventing them from going through the web-based RICA procedure on launch day.

However, the app worked, and Afrihost assured it was working on its launch-day teething problems.

MyBB adverts paid for by Afrihost? Megsapp and Melon Mobile is cheaper with data and it don’t expire.

Competition is fierce in the mobile space. I had a quick look and our data rates and call rates are lower than our competitors.

So here is a use case i am not sure you will cover.

I emigrated to Netherlands 3 years ago. I have a physical vodacom sim that if I turn my phone onto airplane mode with WiFi on, it goes onto vow if I and I can make calls to South Africa at normal South African rates. But I need to change SIM cards every time.

If I sign up and use a eSIM in my phone, and happen to rica the sim somehow, would I be able to make calls to sa numbers over vowifi as well? (And smses for that matter)

The new offering seems straight up worse than the old one tbh :/
Air to air is only free for a few months
