Rain launches new unlimited 4G data package for R479pm

Mobile Network operator Rain announced a new 4G data package that gives users unlimited data per month.

The package will give users speeds of up to 10Mbps, no data cap, and streaming resolution of up to 360p which will cost users R479 per month.

The network notes that new package allows users to access data at all times of the day, unlike Rain’s original off-peak R250 per month package.

Rain's CEO Willem Roos said in a statement that the company pushed for the go-live date” for the 24/7 unlimited 4G data offering in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and demand from consumers for Internet access at home.

“Those whose job allows them to work remotely should find the product a great help as it will remove the anxiety of uncertain, potentially high data costs,” said Roos. 

The service will require a Rain SIM which can be used in any supporting device, including fixed routers and smartphones.

Users can purchase the package now via Takealot, but will require to RICA the SIM on delivery.
