3g switch off / Volte - Supported on all other networks but 3
I ended up getting a 3 sim and I have WiFi and Volte support so whatever the issue is Smarty limits devices for some reason, currently in the process of porting my number away now.
To see if you have Volte dial *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > Scroll down and see if Volte provisioned / Wifi calling is enabled. See the photos in the OP for reference.
In the process of porting my number to another carrier.
Since the 3G switch-off (Sept 2024) I cannot make or receive calls but can still send and received texts, consume data services and enable hotspots.
I normally replace my phone every few years and currently have an xperia 5iii which is just over 3 yrs old.
Due to the poor network coverage provided by Smarty, there really is no reason to stay with them and upgrade to a more expensive phone given that my phone is Volte compatible but Smarty choose not to support it. Quite pathetic actually
ChuChuTrain You make a fair point here but do firstly check that any new network you may choose will support that phone.
