Afrihost Mobile Feedback Thread

[shaky]

I also got mine today, well it's not working either. I've tested using 4 different devices and when I call Afrihost they say they are seeing a trend of sim cards that are not working. Maybe the MTN provisioning team couldn't get petrol to go to work.

Just got my sim. Popped it into my Cell C modem, changed the APN in the connection software, and off we go. Works like a charm. Thanks Afrihost.

Hey,
I want to thank the Afrihost representatives on MyBB.
They provided quick responses to my connection problem earlier on.

The problem has been resolved. Solution?
No idea - left it awhile to do something else, came back, and it started to work.
And oh boy, work it did! It's blistering fast.

Inserted my Mobile 3 sim in my Netgear 3G router, changed the APN to afrihost and it works.

Nice. Glad to know that works nicely. Which Netgear model are you using? Drop me PM please - good to know this kind of stuff

When will the next Debit Order run be?

Just a warning to anyone updating to iOS 7. After the update your APN gets reset to MTN.

I thought my LTE started working again, only to find my APN has been reset.

Good to know. Thanks for the heads up there

Our billing run starts on the 25th of each month, and we submit the actual billing on the 1st of the month (unless it's a weekend or public holiday - in which case the bank delays the submission)

Thank you, good to know.

Anyone having issues with no data on the mobile or could it just be the bad weather in Cape Town causing my low signal 3G to be dead?

Mine hasn't had a stable connection since this morning.

The weather shouldn't have an affect on the 3G signals, is the low signal something relatively new you've picked up?

 

[AfriGuy]

Are you also in CPT?
Drop me a PM and I'll take a look at things on our end.

My Afrihost SIM card arrived today, and my new modem arrived less than 30 minutes later!

Previous ISP + K3770 modem:

Afrihost + Huawei E392

Thanks Afrihost!
