RAIN 5G Gauteng NSA or SA thread

[rain_mobile]

My issues also only began then. I have been in contact with them for the past three weeks or so now. A RAN support technician as well as three seperate technicals teams have come through over the weeks. Having the same people actually continue to respond to a ticket is another story - I have been reset to level 1 support two or three times now and then the whole process starts again

Hi @xxxphantomslayerxxx

May you please provide me with your email address via PM

Most likely the same band, how do I change the 5g band though? I'm not at home currently but I don't remember seeing something like that.

Yes, likely same band.

If it's Huawei you can use the Android app huaCtrl to change the band. Not sure if the app is available on iOS.

Standalone 5G networks do not have any 4G connection and are completely independent. This means that all traffic from the 5G client is transmitted over the 5G network.


At the time, however, Rain told MyBroadband the 4G network would remain as a fallback option for 5G customers.

So with the 4G fallback does that mean if I take my 5G modem with me on holiday to somewhere where there is no 5G coverage but instead only 4G coverage will it still work?

Hi @nahoR

The service does not function if you are outside the 5G coverage area, even if you are within rain’s 4G coverage area.

Thats unfortunate

So much RAIN today but that has not improved my speeds even with great signal during these storms.
