About this network

Rain — a South African data-only mobile network operator, best known for its 4G and 5G fixed and mobile wireless internet.

What it's used for

• Data-only mobile and fixed-wireless internet; it does not sell traditional voice/SIM plans the way legacy operators do.

Notable

• An "eyeball" network — addresses are typically customer devices and 5G routers, often behind carrier-grade NAT.
• A newer entrant competing with the established MTN and Vodacom networks; began as a wholesale 4G data operator before launching its own 5G service.
