Same happened to me yesterday. I was redirected to the Rain website every time. I spend more than a hour waiting on live chat and then another half hour chatting and the consultant had no clue what the problem was. Just said she will escalate it to the Network team

Rain (Afrihost) SIM Card is working 100% when making use of RAIN unlimited promotion period SIM card noticed when doing a network search was unable to pick up RAIN network but gonna try again. Seems like they having tethering problems this morning unless they suspended / removed all network abusers off their network without any warning..

No not implying you're a network abuser if you read their terms and condition

preventing or limiting service through specific ports or communication protocols; and/or
complete termination of service to Subscribers who grossly abuse the network through improper or excessive usage.
