I have used my phone in Spain about 4 times and use the settings provided by smarty but it is so un reliable and drops out all the time and cannot be relied on. All other UK networks seem to work fine, it's so frustrating that I am thinking of changing provider.
Not many UK mobile service providers have inclusive roaming in the EU.
SMARTY allows you to use your UK allowances while roaming in the EU (with a 12GB roaming data limit) - which provider would you choose GuyWill_1001991?
Hi Thanks for the reply, overall I am happy with smarty but when I am in Spain it only works now and then, all the other UK suppliers are a rip off on the money they want. Just want to know how to get the smarty sim working when abroad. I can't be the only one having this issue. I have an iPhone 14 Pro
I'd agree with JJP2 on using an eSIM from the likes of "Airalo", "Holafly", "Soracom Mobile" et cetera when travelling abroad - especially outside SMARTY's EU inclusive roaming area.
GuyWill_1001991 I have used EU roaming a number of times without problem I must say.
I have used roaming in Spain twice this year, without any major issues. The only gripe was Movistar was often selected by default but most of the time this only offered minimal 4G, mostly 3G. Orange I discovered was better, so I changed manually to it and then got 4G almost all the time then.
Also, if you’re used to using Wi-Fi calling at home, switch it off while you’re roaming because public/hotel Wi-Fi isn’t the best, and this could explain why your calls are dropping.
I've moved from Giffgaff to SMARTY because of poor signal on roaming in the EU.
Is SMARTY any better? Thank you
