Afrihost LTE on MTN APN not working
- Thread starter Awesum
- Start date
My sim also doesn't work with LTE as it's the wrong one (even though it's a Nano that was order after public release).
Yes,I`ve received my sim cards but it seems that when I put it in my existing MTN dongle it doesn`t want to connect to the internet.Can some help me.I`m going on holiday and need this to work today.I`m using my 3G dongle and I don`t know how to change the APN
Setting up the APN differs from device to device, you just need to enter afrihost as the APN
Which device are you using with the SIM?

I just can't get my device, Samsung Tab 10.1 LTE, to work on LTE.
At home it shows in the coverage area. Doesn't work.
Went to another area indicating LTE coverage. Didn't work.
Went to a MTN shop at Woodlands and were told MTN has coverage only at Brooklyn and Sandton.
What is the truth or what can I do.
Thanks

Afrihost Mobile is LTE ready but you have to ask them to provision your simcard, doesn't work out of the box, unlike 8ta/telkom mobile which does now apparently
You can use our coverage map (http://www.afrihost.com/tools/network_coverage_map/?src=socmed) to see if there is LTE coverage in your area.
Also remember that your SIM and device have to be LTE capable - then we have to provision your SIM or number for LTE access on our APN.
Drop me a PM and we'll see what we can do

Good question!! I am under the impression they can cause the APN is under afrihost(assuming here)
We do
We'll request an LTE provision with MTN on your behalf as long as you have an LTE compatible SIM.We do
Thanks, sent you a PM with the details to check my MTN number.
Trying to set it up. 1-2-3 Red Light. ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING trying to call support. Estimated hold time 15 mins... for 20 mins... finally down to 7 mins and it hangs up on me! F you. Call back... 28 minutes hold. You have to be effing kidding. Get your act together. No live chat either. I mean WTF???
Please drop me a PM with your account details. Since load shedding was implemented, we've seen some frozen sessions. We can usually fix it with a reset or a device reboot.
