rain loop Contact Details

loop, rain’s portable 5G router, is supported through rain’s Customer Engagement Centre on 081 610 1000. There is no separate support line for loop: rain runs one centre covering every product, so the number is the same one used for home wifi and mobile.

What loop is and what it costs

loop is a portable 5G WiFi router combined with a stereo speaker in one device, sold on a month to month unlizones subscription starting at R699 a month with no fixed contract. It sits alongside rain’s other products, which are Unlimited 5G Home WiFi for a fixed address, Unlimited Mobile, rainOne Unlimited combining home and phone, the101 and LoopPhone. The distinction matters when you call, because a home wifi fault is tied to one installation address while a loop problem can be a coverage question wherever you happen to be using it.

rain states it does not guarantee coverage even where an address appears to fall inside a coverage area, and that actual performance depends on congestion, line of sight, the environment and the number of active users. For a portable device that is the single most useful thing to know before buying, since a loop that works at home may not perform the same elsewhere. Check the coverage map on the rain website for each place you intend to use it.

rain’s registered address

RICA registration for loop

RICA registration is mandatory for every SIM, including the embedded SIM in a device and any replacement. You need a valid South African ID, refugee identity document or passport, plus proof of address no older than three months. If you do not have a South African ID and you subscribed online, RICA is done face to face on delivery and you must present documents to the courier, otherwise the device will not be activated.

Support, complaints and phishing warnings

Start with the Customer Engagement Centre on 081 610 1000, which rain names as the route for both support and complaints.

One warning worth repeating: rain states it will never ask you to provide personal information or verify your account by clicking a link in an email. Treat any message that does as phishing and report it rather than replying.
