Rain 4G sim is Useless, so is their service.

I activated the 4G sim on Sunday the 11th, it worked fine until we went to bed on Saturday the 17th. Sunday morning the 18th it was disconnected.

This is unacceptable. I paid for a service that Can't be used at the moment. Request (***) was logged on Sunday, another request (***) was logged on Monday. Apparently it was escalated through to Networks department kindly wait for their feedback they will assist further, 21 hours ago.

Today is day three without internet, may I please have my money back so that I can make other arrangements to be connected.

After saving you should have a blue dot that will mean it was a success.

I need to work, I can't keep spending all this time trying to fix the 4G SIM. I Have done all that you asked me to do and it is still not working.
It worked for a week then went off, isn't there anything you can do on your side, must the sim be replaced, I got it from Clicks.
