Rain Mobile SIM Deliveries

Anyone received the Phone with sim card
Are the sim card inside the phone or is it separate
 
Useless f8ckers....their website is trash, dashboard meaningless, delivery system waste of time....chat system is an abortion

What's good to say about them except for a handful of v lucky recipients...who are like kids in Willie Wonka's Choc Factory at the moment with a total of 3 and a half ppl on their network.

I cannot even get a confirmed delivery (my initial was meant to be 8th June 10-11am).

5 chat sessions with human bots as well as having been doubled billed and no response from them to that either.

Mmmmmmm, damn it.... Online chat asked me to try the sim in a different device. I told them no, cause I'm not breaking the sim out of its full size adapter to try in a cell with nano sim slot. It's such a pain lining up a sim that is too small for the B315's sim tray. I then asked if the sim was activated. He checked and claimed not as it wasn't RICA'd. Courier took a pic of my ID and utility bill at the time of delivery! Anyway... whatever...

So did you eventually get it working?
Or have you given up?
 
So I eventually got my sim card at 09:43 this morning. Took them till 16:30ish to Rica. But it is working, I just need to wait 15 days for all the the peeps to start using sparingly to get some good speed. Although I can't complain too much i am averaging 10Mbps down and around 2Mbps up. Still nowhere near what I expected, but hey.

Oh and VPN speeds are terrible. Less that 1Mbps down and up. :( Sucks a bit. So looks like there is already throttling across the board.

I guess we must just wait and see. :)

So strange that as soon as you mention VPN, people automatically think pirate...torrentor...news leacher.

I use VPN to copy files from my home to another local network that keeps off site backups for me. I have 11TB of storage on either end, with a couple of GB that change during the day and needs to be synced across.

So VPN speeds are pretty import for me and not everyone uses them for illegal content.

Bundles? It's been covered in countless threads and articles but here you go. There are none.

Nah, given up. I had one bite at the online chat desk and that was told me all I need to know about rain. I think hail would have been a more appropriate name for them.

But something odd happened this morning. I'm getting an sms to say that I have rescheduled my delivery with a driver. I have no idea what this is about or who the smses are from but it also says I can track my delivery via the online portal.

Let me log on and check...

Uh, yes, still reflects as order processed and nothing more...

Clowns...

10 to 1 I got someone else's sim

This is my exact issue with them. I log in this morning and my order is GONE !!!! Blank page.
 
Looks like they resolved the billing issue. Had to place another order went completely off my dashboard. Now from 2636 all the way to 4559. Expected delivery is 20June 8am

Yee. no bundles.. no contracts. Just R50 per gig.

unless you take the R250 for uncapped option - 11pm to next day 6pm.
Then the only data that counts towards your cap is between 6pm to 11pm (5hour window)
