And what happens to my Afrihost Plus+

Did the product just die? Should I stop paying for it?

Afrihost plus+ has been was discontinued for you sign ups.
If you want to move over to Airmobile, you can request cancellation of it first.

@Afrigirl could you see if anything is amiss? Or should I just request a physical sim instead?
The guys on support are not very keen on assisting (it's been two days without any replies now :( )

Hello.
Did you receive a welcome flash message before setting up APN on the device?

I have received like 20 sms'es on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, an hour after another, saying "your new number xxx is in the process of being activated". No other sms'es received since then.

So I just found out that these sims wont work in MiFi Routers and on Chromebooks, I have logged a call but I am a bit disappointed.

Try setting the APN on the MiFi to ws.air.mvno and test.
 
Is this normal on the Afrihost network? Cuz I'm pretty sure mtn can go upto 80mbps+ on 4G

Edit:Cape Town server even worse 90ms with 3mbps...
:unsure:

Speeds are sometimes not the greatest

Well that's sucks tbh I expected atleast 20mbps cuz Vodacom always gave me a stable 80mbps with 20-30ms in cape town. If this is an occurring issue I have no choice but too port back in 60 days. Since I use mobile data for my work alot. Let's see how it is tomorrow also I'm like 90% sure mtn rarely has a issue with speeds here so this defs gotta be Afrihost one
 
Could maybe be slightly congested due to the huge influx maybe?

Hi there Dillydo, have you checked the APN settings to see if the sim does work or you have not placed your order as yet?

Hopefully Afrihost can engage with MTN over why their network has problems with Apple iPhones supporting VoWiFi. They have VoWiFi on the MTN network but only for Android devices...
