how do I check my coverage?

Enter your address on our coverage map and use the map key in the corner to see if you’re in 4G/5G home coverage

Please note you will need to be in 4G/5G home coverage in order to purchase a rainone plan

I’m connected but can’t get onto the internet?​

This might be because of your APN settings. For phones and most other devices your APN settings are automatically set up. If not, the default APN settings are as follows:​

APN name: rain​
All other settings can be left blank​

If it’s not your APN settings, this might be the cause:​-

  • You’re using the incorrect device – make sure you’re using a 4G enabled device for your 4G mobile SIM, or rain’s 5G router for your 5G SIM. If you are on a 4G for phones product, your SIM will only work in a 4G phone.
  • You’ve reached your gig limit – you can manage your limit on my rain​.
  • An unsuccessful debit order – your rain account may be in arrears. Sign in to my rain to pay now and get back online​.

Check my balances

To check your balance, go to manage your account at myrain or you can SMS ‘balance’ to 136.​

If you’re running low on gigs, minutes or sms, you can buy more anytime. These ‘buy more’ purchases are once-off and they never expire. So, whatever you don’t use this month, will still be there for you next month.

Can I make international calls?​

Yes, you can. Sign in to your myrain and switch on international calling, view call rates per country and buy more for your wallet.​

In myrain you can buy as much as you need more for your international calling wallet.​

Your top-ups do not expire, and the balance can be viewed on your rain dashboard. ​

How much am I paying?

To find out how much you’ll be charged per country, view our international call rates.
