26/08/2024

I have  49.91GB left of 50GB but can not access or search the internet via google with my phone and smarty account, but soon as i turn on my wifi access (to my router) all works fine (OK) is there a problem with smarty and access to the internet search?

The problem only seem to have started today

    Kat_736 Have you completed a Network Status check for your postcode? It may be that there is a mast problem or congestion in the area.

    Your wifi presumably is based upon a broadband connection and so will not be affected.

    If Network Status suggests that all should be fine, have a web chat with Smarty Support and they can escalate it if necessary.

      well yes I did that b4 i posted here, but just went to double check but now I can not even enter my postcode. Yes my phone data is turned ON, and correct, wifi is based on my router which is broadband. It's 100% a smarty problem/issue. Like i just said I tested my Network Status check for my postcode but after reading your reply i went to check again and now can not even enter my postcode to check, which points to a "NOT so smarty" issue(s). I will leave it for now and need to find a new mobile provider with less issues/problems seem to be the way forward.

      But thank you for a speedy reply

        Kat_736  Having checked the Network Status, why not web chat with Smarty Support? It may be that this is a very new issue and that is why the Network Status checker does not have the details.

        You may indeed find a new provider, but I wouldn't choose 3 as Smarty run on their network. Of course, if it's a mast problem, then other networks may share the mast and also be suffering.
