I can understand if 3/Smarty lose customers on this...

Hi Msf - that's right they do once had a biggy with Giffgaff, so no one's perfect, I'm generalising - the only prob for me on Smarty is away from cities the signal ain't great and the sooner Vodafone & 3 getting the better imo 👍

It seems I cannot make outgoing calls. I need this to work please urgently

RayCunni_544989 You are not writing directly to Smarty here - this is a community forum and we are customers like you. For that reason, we cannot fix anything.
It appears that Three network went down yesterday and then seems to have been fixed earlier today. However, it may be a possibility that bad weather has caused more problems.

Can't phone

An announcement saying the network has issues would have been useful and a follow up saving its now fix but sadly no such message has been sent out, which is inexcusable.

Hi..
Yes I know its the smarty community n I was reading other members post regarding the same issue.. so I was basically saying I'm having the same problem n did anyone know or find out why... I didn't even know about the issue until my phone flashed to tell me I'd missed alot of calls n to go to mail. But I couldn't even do that... it still has some issue but I'm able to receive WiFi calls n WhatsApp calls now ..

REBECCA100 Unfortunately, I do not think that you will get any mobile network that can offer a 100% guarantee of service. You could also have a landline, but they also fail at times.
Things do break sometimes.
