    Christo_2606094 Have you carried out a Coverage Check and also a Network Status check? If there are no issues, then it may just unfortunately be that you have a poor signal in your area for the 3 Network.

        You saying “building” got me wondering - Are you trying to use Smarty Mobile as a replacement for business broadband ?

        Have a look at the Smarty Terms and Conditions - Section 5.15 states that Smarty should not be used as a permanent replacement for fixed line broadband. They will stop your service if they deem you to be using Smarty as a permanent replacement for fixed line broadband. 

        I just wonder if this could be the issue you are facing with the “dongle not working reliably” ?

        Hi Christo, please raise a chat if this hasn't been resolved yet: https://smarty.co.uk/contact. You will first speak to a "bot". To be direct to an agent please type "speak to a person" and you will be put through to someone who can help. As mentioned by Adrian earlier, they are online 7 days a week between 8am-8pm. SMARTY is a digital first business so all of our customer support is dealt with digitally. Hope this helps - Susan
