Following yesterday’s network issue the majority of services have been fully restored. We are still observing around 1% of calls not placing correctly and our engineers are working to fully fix this. Data services are working normally. We are really sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Still down in North East London and Essex. Only been with Smarty for 3 months but this is the 2nd time this happened. Will we be compensated? Wasn’t the first time and it is terribly inconvenient!

KeithMe_2368841 It isn't down everywhere (I still seem to have service). If you lose service for a day, technically you would only be entitled to a refund of the day's charge - for a £20 plan, that is about 65p
- KeithMe_2368841SMARTY Pioneer10-02-2024
Thanks for your reply, however it is still down for me and the compensation is compensation no matter if it is only £.0.65. I’ve paid for a service I haven’t received. 🤷🏾♂️

Hi I'm a new customer and my port has been successful but I'm still not connected to smarty
- MSFSMARTY Guru02-02-2024
NathanG_2518912 Check your account dashboard - if it shows your correct number, it should work.
Perhaps you need a network reset on the phone?

It's strange that my Internet only works through your app when I click the link to buy a phone? Works great but Amazon and eBay no connection.

Mines been on and off every day to the point I'm losing business. Time to cancel smarty on our devices and find new. Been OK up until now
- MSFSMARTY Guru05-12-2023
DavidSib_374320 Just a 'heads up' here - Smarty do not offer business plans.

still waiting for email to confirm my email for smarty
- MSFSMARTY Guru04-12-2023
IanNort_2270657 Unfortunately, we cannot sort this because we are customers just like you and have no access to your account.
If web chat was not successful, you may do better to raise a complaint. Before that, have you checked that your payment details are correct? No expired cards?
- IanNort_2270657SMARTY Pioneer04-12-2023
I have used 3 separate cards, all of which are okay.
I've done the web chat, raised a complaint, I've done everything.
you can't believe it is so difficult to make a payment!!
