Once you have Rain SIM card in your phone and a data plan, you will need APN settings specific to the Rain network so you can connect to the internet. These settings are normally retrieved automatically by your phone but when it doesn’t, you will need to set them manually. The settings for iPhones and Android devices are as shown below.
Rain APN Internet Settings for iPhone and iPad
For an iPhone, navigate to Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Network then input the settings below. Click back then restart your device. restarting allows your iPhone to use these settings though you do not need a restart at times.
- APN: rain
- Username: (leave it blank)
- Password: (leave it blank)
Save then restart your iPhone.
Rain APN Internet Settings for Android Smartphones and Tablets
For Android devices on Rain network, navigate to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point name > Add New then save for 4G and 5G internet data settings. If you can’t find it directly in this location, head over to settings then search for ‘access point name’. Restart your device for the settings to take effect.

Plz help me add a profile of rain APN settings..0840385272
Hi, if you are using an Android device navigate to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs > Select SIM > Access Point Names then input the APN settings above.
Please note that buying rain’s data, it looks like you do not love yourself as 1GIG costs R50 if you did not select data plan: unlimited off-peak for R250 per month.
you have to keep in you mind that rain is using your bank card to deduct the money according to what you have spent on each 1st of Avery month.
Suggestion: Buy unlimited off-peak :19 hours unlimited off-peak data (from 23hoo to 18hoo of next day) at the cost of R250 – R50 a gig during peak hours from 18h00 to 23h00.
Attention: everything is working with your Bank Card through the ACCOUNT YOU HAVE OPENED (require an email address and a password) while purchasing your Rain Sim card.

Good day. I have tried every option stipulated on the chat for Rain 4G cards. APN changed restarted
Like every other network does rain have a ussd code that allows us to install the mms sms and internet as the APN setting not working and it’s frustrating I feel like destroying these cards and have my 5G router reduced value to account for these sim cards not working
I work with these as I’m a qualified Programmer so it’s quite simple answers being provided to users
I need this resolved as porting is another issue
Consider reducing the 5G cost as we losing out on data and free minutes as per advert
Hi Vincent. I cannot get the VoLTE option on the iPhone. I have inputted the APN as rain under mobile data and LTE setup. Rebooted. The VoLTE does not appear meaning I cannot make voice calls. The data part of the Rain sim is working fine. Can you assist? Tis
Hello Clive, navigate to Settings > Cellular/Mobile Data > Voice & Data then Enable 4G. Tap on VoLTE toggle on if it is off.
You must download the rain talk app from olay store if your phone doesn’t support VoLTE
Just to do my rain sim card
