Hello I am in Costa Rica and find I need to be in a position to make/receive calls when WiFi not available to use WhatsApp.  Am trying to buy an Add On but I keep getting told to try again later. Do Add Ons have to be bought before leaving the UK?  I have switched my settings ok for international calls so it's not that.  Any enlightenment welcome. \thanks.

@Norman752001  According to the smarty Price Guide p13, you can always buy an add on via your account dashboard. Access that via smarty website when you get some wifi. https://cdn.smarty.co.uk/files/SMARTY-Price-Guide.pdf?_gl=1*1a0mxbg*_ga*MjA5ODc3MzU1My4xNzI2MTM1Njc3...

Not sure if you are aware, but data there will cost 10p per megabyte and calls will cost both to make and receive. I would thin that you will race through money if you buy an add on.

If you have fairly modern phone, you could buy a data Esim formally number of companies, Holafly and Airalo to name a couple. They would be more reasonable, but only offer data usually (you can call via WhatsApp.
