    Same here I can send to and Fro via my voda and gaff sims. For sheer convenience I’m back on giffgaff . So cross I’d thrown a tenner away on a smarty sim. Lesson learnt bigtime! Value has to equate to efficiency. Sadly smarty is cheap but IF most sims don’t work fully -  that’s not cheap is it. If it seems too good to be true .. really wanted it to be a cheap solution to business and socials but it’s a massive disappointment!  WhatsApp verification just isn’t compatible with smarty.
