Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the local Shared APN bundle?
No. Global Shared APN is a separate data-only eSIM service for international teams. The existing local Shared APN voice, SMS and data bundles remain available at /apn.
How do calendar-month bundles work?
Price and data are reduced together for the remainder of the current month. The discount is 10% on days 1-5, 20% on days 6-10, 40% on days 11-15, 60% on days 16-20, 70% on days 21-25 and 80% from day 26. The period ends at midnight at the start of the next month in South Africa, not 30 days after purchase.
Which devices can use a global eSIM?
Use an unlocked device that supports installing a downloadable eSIM profile. For vehicles, trackers and M2M equipment, check the specific modem and eSIM compatibility first. Not every IoT device can install a smartphone-style eSIM.
Where can teams connect?
The underlying global roaming service advertises 200+ countries and territories. Local network coverage, compatible devices and roaming rules apply. Confirm your destination before travelling.
Is a private network or static IP included?
No private VPN, private routed APN or static IP is included in these listed bundles. Shared APN Manager refers to OpenWeb's group and allowance management, not a dedicated private network.
How is bundle allowance usage calculated?
Every US$1.28 of provider-reported data charges uses 1GB of OpenWeb bundle allowance before any applicable group deduction rate. These are allowance credits, not measured GB of internet traffic. Roaming costs differ between networks and destinations, so the same allowance can deliver different amounts of traffic. Usage reporting may be delayed by 10-15 minutes or longer.
How many eSIMs are included?
Each paid group includes its first five eSIM provisions. Further eSIMs cost R35 each from your APN credit wallet, including replacements after the five included provisions are used. Deleting a SIM does not restore an included provision.
How do payments and renewals work?
Load your APN credit wallet securely with Netcash Pay Now, then use the credit for bundles and additional eSIM provisioning. Wallet credit does not expire at month-end, but data allowance does: unused data is not carried over. Buy a new calendar-month bundle to continue; we do not debit your card automatically.
