      I have been contacted by an agent saying that its a temporary transmitter fault but its already been more than 24 hours without service . I have been a customer for less than 1 week - very disappointed and I cant wait much longer as cant receive credit card security codes from online purchases or any other organisations including Medical professionals that use this for personal communications- I have recently been discharged from hospital - cant go on like this so will be researching for a change of provider which is very annoying and inconvenient . LET THIS BE A WARRNING TO OTHERS THINKING OF JOINING SMARTY!!!!

        EdwinP_2040195 I'm pleased that at least you were contacted with an explanation.

        The security verification codes is another issue. It does seem to depend upon the bank/credit card company and what system they use. I think that perhaps some of them use third parties to send messages and/ or short codes and this is the issue since Smarty currently does not support that (they say it is something for the future!).

        Personally, I have never experienced the problem, but I can understand that it will be a game changer for customers like you who cannot receive important messages. I hope you can soon find another provider without the issue and offering similar value.
