I've tried it elsewhere and yeah - the connection was better. I'm currently connected to my phones cellc because I can't browse at all with AH mobile. Not sure if there's anything that can be done / investigated? Gonna pm you my number fwiw.

Sounds like it may be related to coverage in that location. Have you logged a coverage query with MTN?

I got this sms to my afrihost data sim that I got with my phone:

Here with your MTN Invoice for account <snip>, the amount of R4.99 is due on 25-02-2015. To view your account details please visit http://mtnactive.mobi or https://mycontract.mtn.co.za or call 809.

Should I worry about this?

I wouldn't give it much thought. Unfortunately some spammers use number generation to send out bulk SMS, so I doubt it's actually from MTN. If it is though, it may relate to a previous owner of this number.

My SO got the same SMS & same amount, for account A4886629. Will ignore, thanks.
 
Is there a problem on the Afrihost network today?

Sitting in Randburg on my MTN sim with the Afrihost APN and I have signal but no throughput - change back to the MTN APN and all works well.
 
same here my mtn sim works fine .... But afrihost sim connects but thats it..... Any news on this afriteam
 
Looks like there is a problem on the network, so far it seems to only affect some clients in the North. We're seeing clients get a session but no throughput. We're busy investigating with MTN, seems like MTN and Axxess clients may also be affected.
 
The issue is only affecting Afrihost. MTN data is working correctly.
3 mifis not working, 2 MTN contract sims with data not working
Changing the MTN sims to use the MTN AP works fine.

ETA on a fix?

Some clients are reporting differently, but until we know the cause it's very difficult to say what the ETA or possible effects could be :(
 
3 devices on afrihost apn is dead, switch al 3 to mtn apn they work.... not mtn network but afrihost network.
 
MTN works perfectly - Afrihost data not working.
Centurion.

With both Axxess and Afrihost APNs being affected I have a feeling it may the link between the Afrihost and MTN systems, once our Team has fully resolved the issue we'll let everyone know what the issue was and the cause of it.
 
Is there any eta on the solution? Sitting without data here atm, and it gets costly if I have to use my 3G.
 
Mine seems to be even worse now :/

Not even getting a connection when using the afrihost APN.
