  • You will be asked if you require a 5G router.

- If you do need a 5G router select ‘Yes, I need a router’.

- If you do not need a 5G router select ‘No, I have my own router’.

- For a Pure 5G SIM only package, select ‘No, I have my own router’ and follow the prompts to complete your order.

  • Select the router offered with your sign up and click the ‘Next’ button.
  • You will be asked to enter the devices configuration details. Enter the desired network details and click ‘Add Details’.
  • Confirm the items in your shopping cart are correct and click ‘Checkout’.
  • Before completing the order, you may be asked to either log into your ClientZone account (for existing clients) or sign up for a ClientZone account if you are a new Afrihost client.
  • Follow the prompts to complete your order. Select your preferred delivery option and fill-in the required details.
  • Select your preferred payment option, or add new banking details.
  • To complete your order, check the boxes to accept the debit order agreement and agree to Afrihost Terms & Conditions.
  • Click ‘Complete My Order’.
  • You will see a page confirming that the order has been placed successfully.

Once you have received your device, switch the router on for the SIM to activate. The sim card will have been pre-inserted into the device. Activation can take up to 48 hours but in most cases, it activates within 30 minutes.

If your router is preconfigured by Afrihost, there will be no need for any setup. However, if you are using your own router, you will need to change the APN to the Afrihost Pure 5G one.

How to change set up the APN? 

We have a simple step-by-step guide on How to configure the APN on your ZTE 5G device article to help you easily set up the APN on your device.
