Air Mobile eSIM availability?

[cheems00]

Is it possible to get an Afrihost AirMobile eSIM and can you get 5G with AirMobile? Or is it beter to just directly get a Mobile Internet contract from MTN?

5G works perfectly with airmobile.

This is my MTN sim using airmobile in a 5G modem.

Hello.
We do not provide an eSIM yet, but our APN does work on an existing MTN eSIM.

I just got their e-Sim now - and it came with "free" R100 airtime and 10GB data - I never thought I'd have an e-Sim - the network providers make you jump too many hoops - this was done in 5 minutes - but I think they are running a promo currently - got an email from Gian at @Afrigirl
