Porting Issue

I successfully ported my existing number to Smarty today -13-05-25. Smarty informed me their via e-mail at 15.00pm today, and it said so on my on-line Dashboard.

My old supplier - 02 - said they were disconnecting me at 13.30 today.

However my wife tried a test call to me at 15.30, it did not ring, but went to my old suppliers Answerphone.

How do I get my Ported No. properly working on Smarty!??

    Hi BrookeS_3367110,

    If you haven’t already done so, you could try the below to potentially regain a connection. If you are still having issues after this our customer care team are on hand to offer account specific advice https://smarty.co.uk/contact available daily from 8am – 8pm.

    Restarting your device and/or resetting your Network Settings (this does not affect your device storage, apps, pictures, etc.). This will refresh your connection to the serving site, prompting a stronger signal.

    • Toggling Airplane Mode/Mobile Data off and on. This essentially resets the IP connection, establishing a fresh new connection once linked to the network – this will prompt your device and SIM to connect to a stronger signal.
    • Please try your SIM in another device, to confirm that this is not a handset compatibility issue
    • You can remove any saved APN credentials, restart your handset and then re-add the required APN if your device doesn’t seem to automatically connect to a strong network signal – please find guidance on the correct APN set-up via the following link: here
    • Resetting your network settings will remove all Bluetooth pairings and stored Wi-Fi networks.
      • Open Settings and then tap General management.
      • Reset, and then tap Reset network settings.
      • Tap Reset settings. You will prompted to enter your PIN or password to continue if you have one set.
      • Finally, tap Reset.
