The thing is, it's Rain running after Telkom, not the other way around from all I've read.No! Please no!
I am in the fortunate position of still have 2 Rain SIMs on the R50/GB pay-as-you-use plan and I hope to keep using them.
telkom is pure evil and out of principal I will never do business with them - ever. Please stay away from that monopolistic retard company.
I'll be quite happy if I've nothing to do with Rain, as simply testing their LTE SIMs was a complete failure for me.
Telkom on the other hand, give me the fastest LTE download speeds & hardly ever any downtime - in the past 2 months since I've been back using them (apart from load-shedding), only twice their signal was dead I came across (both times after midnight for about 15 minutes each - probably some minor maintenance?).
Been very consistent otherwise & reasonably priced month-month data through Axxess.
