smarty on a dumb phone
Hi all, first post here. I need to purchase a 4g dumb phone for someone that's unable to use a smartphone anymore. Something along the lines of the Doro clamshells or perhaps a Nokia.
Do these types of devices work with smarty? They won't be able to access the internet, but I'd intend to purchase the monthly top-up for them with PayPal through a pc browser.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi PhilipMo_232714
You can check using this link if a handset is compatible with the SMARTY 4G (VoLTE) network.

There aren't many non-smartphones that support VoLTE but I have found this website that may help in choosing a handset (just remember to check if it is on the SMARTY Approved handset list for it to work) and add the filters of 'VoLTE Support' and 'Region'...

There is also these.....

You can also do your own research using a search term like 'dumb phone that supports VoLTE UK' or similar.
Good luck x
