Just wondering, is it me or….

Now we all know that Smarty Mobile is a value for money mobile phone service.

Maybe that’s its downfall ? 

Whilst many others and myself are very happy with the high quality of service we receive, on this forum we seem to be experiencing an influx of people complaining that Smarty doesn’t work for them, for whatever reason, be it slow speeds, it’s not working as a replacement for home broadband (which Smarty say in its terms and conditions it’s not designed for), or in a motor homes, caravans etc 

It’s incumbent on everyone to check that Smarty Mobile is right for them BEFORE signing up. Also, if you want to use Smarty in a device that’s not a mobile phone, you may well need to look elsewhere. After all, no matter how cheap Smarty is, if it doesn’t meet your requirements and use case, then it’s a waste of money. 

For those of us that Smarty Mobile works for, it’s a gem of a service at a decent price. For that, I am thankful.

    JJP2RidesAgain  You are 100% correct. (Actually, these days I should perhaps saying 110% as is the fashion!)

    Let's face it, not every product suits every person. If that were the case, one network would possibly end up with a virtual monopoly, regardless of Ofcom's attempts to stop it.

    As I said in a recent post, it's much more common that people moan than praise.

      Next week, it will be “Smarty doesn’t work with my WiFi enabled toaster” 

      And yes, WiFi toasters do actually exist, you control them from an app, but unless you also have a robot to put the bread in the toaster, it’s seems a bit daft, and even then, the robot could turn the toaster on

        JJP2RidesAgain  Do you mean that you don't simply get your butler to do all of that and just bring you the buttered toast?
