Does your SMARTY SIM card work outside your area SoniaSm_1865331?
Three are working on their network all over the UK, upgrading 4G and deploying 5G.
I've got a Three network status message in my area too, which says:
We’re fixing an issue with our network in this area
We’re sorry for any disruption you experience. Our engineers are working on masts nearby, which means the rest of our network is handling more traffic than usual.
This is because Three will be turning OFF their 3G network by the end of 2024.
I've been getting the "We're fixing..." message for my local area (Trowbridge) ever since I signed up a couple of weeks ago - and on the rare occasion I do see a data network at home, it's 3G, and drops out after a matter of minutes.
I was up at Media City (Salford) the other day, and despite the network check claiming all was well (and supposedly 5G)... nothing! (I was beginning to wonder if the SIM was faulty, so started investigating whether I could move to the bonus SIM I was sent).
Finally got 5G in, of all places, a motorway services car park near Southampton - so at least I know something works!
Is there a page listing locations, what's being done, and how long it's likely to take anywhere? The generic message I've seen thus far isn't exactly informative.
