No network ever

I’ve been with smarty for 3 months now and I get zero service or 1 bar which is no good to me. Today I have a satellite sign and an sos as my signal has any one any idea what that’s about. I’ve never had such a poor service as I have with smarty.

    Okay Stepheng1968, if SMARTY say you got 4G and 5G, but you don't - perhaps it's time to switch to another service provider.

    Good advice from MSF & Chalkychap 

    If you do switch networks Stepheng1968 Don’t switch to Three, as that’s the parent network of Smarty, so you would be in exactly the same boat you are in now. 

    Not that it should make a difference, but what phone are you using ?

    BTW, the satellite SOS signal means no signal & connectivity with the exception of emergency calls.

      Hi JJ thanks. That’s how bad it has been that I’m getting sos only. It’s an iPhone 15pro max.

    Stepheng1968  First things you need to check are Coverage in your area and also Network Status. This will show if a) you can reasonably expect a signal in your area generally and b) whether a local mast is down.

    Has this been the case since you joined SMARTY 3-months ago, Stepheng1968

    Is this happening everywhere you use the SMARTY SIM?
