You don't have a monthly credit bill - Smarty users buy fixed plans and top-ups.

Currently the system does not support sending text messages to premium numbers.

    SMARTY don't support messages to short-code numbers NeilAel_1900794, nor do they appear to have any plans to do so.

    Most competitions use a short-code number, so being with SMARTY excludes you entering them using your phone - most will have an online entry option, which is less convenient though.

    I guess, if using your mobile to enter competitions is important, join a mobile network that supports use of short-code numbers. Good luck NeilAel_1900794 🍀

      Well, that's a shame but surely a rather pathetic approach to something that every other network offers! 

      I have not been able to enter competitions or confirm my identity with a few websites, etc etc. 

      I think that I will be looking for another network - as no one seems to be interested in solving the problem!
