I need a smarty contact number I want to call you as soon as possible 

[Strandloper · Accepted solution]

@Bashayr_1511077,

Welcome to the Smartys Users Forum.

 We are customers/Users just like you.

Just so you know, Smarty DO NOT have a customer hotline/phone number.  There are only two ways to contact them.

The best point of contact is through Webchat, otherwise it's a case of sending an email.

You can get these details through the help articles created by Smarty.

[Patrick_2828759]

Why don't I have  service outside my flat N195ts 

[MSF]

@Patrick_2828759  We are members like you and so do not know the specific answer. however, if you do a Network Status check, it suggests that your local mast is often congested. This may in turn be linked to recent turn off of 3G signal.

Also, are you sure that your phone is compatible now?

[GarethT_2730825]

I just don't know what to do 

[MSF]

@GarethT_2730825  I often feel the same - particularly when I read a post but the writer has not said what help they were looking for.

[JJP2RidesAgain]

That isn’t at all helpful to be honest, posting “I just don’t know what to do”…

As members of this community forum are not, to the best of my knowledge, psychic, you will have to be more effusive about any issue that you want help with. 

[JeetenC_2689690]

Thanks. Yeah, I had done that but was waiting for ages. Eventually got a response after around an hour! I guess something they need to work on.

[Chalkychap]

Perhaps with the recent 3G network switch-off, affecting large parts of the Midlands, maybe SMARTY web chat is much busier than 'normal'. 

#LessSMARTY, #MoreMalarkey, @JeetenC_2689690. 

[MSF]

@JeetenC_2689690  A network like smarty keeps the prices down by not having to pay for a team of customer service people on phones. Web chat is cheaper and quicker and that reflects in the price you pay.

If a phone line to customer service is important to you, then you willed to go with a more expensive network provider unfortunately.

[Chalkychap]

Unfortunately @JeetenC_2689690, that's not an option SMARTY Mobile provide. 

SMARTY help & support is online only. 

You can chat online to an advisor from https://smarty.co.uk/contact. 

Then scroll down to "Start a conversation" - type "talk to a person" to begin a chat with an adviser.

[GarethT_2730825]

I don't know what to do 

[LynnCar_2446161]

Is there a number to ring if your payment is overdue

[Rebekah_150 · Accepted solution]

Hey  LynnCar_2446161 

As a digital first network we do not have an customer servicer call centre but here are all the ways to get in touch https://smarty.co.uk/contact. 

[MSF]

@LynnCar_2446161  No, there isn't. If they cannot take payment from the source on your account dashboard, then your plan will not renew.

When you say 'overdue' - is the phone still working? Take a look at Account Dashboard to see if your plan is active.

[LeeFoste_910750]

Hi 

I need another sim for my other phone 

[MSF]

@LeeFoste_910750 We don't send out sims because we don't work for Smarty. Why not order one from the website?

[DavidLe_2261313]

I want to cancel this account 

[MSF]

@DavidLe_2261313  Then you need to web chat with Smarty Support team. We are customers like you and so have no access to accounts generally.

[senojdh]

How do I actually contact Smarty. I have very liwe el service. My download speeds seldom reach 5mbps but using the same phone 7n the same area with a GiffGaff SIM I get 30 to 50 Mbps. I have been trying we chat and the chat in the App to contact support without reply

[Mirnada_1373961]

My mobile services are not working?

My mobile services not working?

[MSF]

@Mirnada_1373961  What help do you actually want here?

This post has just shown up on my unread posts today - 4 Nov - isn't that strange?

[Oluakinola1]

Good evening. I received my Smarty sim card today . It has been activated but not working on my handset. 

[MSF]

@Oluakinola1  Can take an hour or so sometimes.

[Linsey]

Activation can take up to 2 hours maximum.😊

[MSF]

@Linsey  OP posted on 21 October, so hopefully sorted by now !!

While writing, why do posts use the 24 hour clock and yet still have AM or PM ?? Surely there is only one 16:48 each day!

[DavidDy_1109149]

Have to use the chat facility facility unfortunately I think it goes to India , some of the replies leave a bit of the desired strike that a lot to be desired we desired.

[MSF]

Hello @senojdh . You can only contact Smarty via web chat to 'speak' to someone.

Firstly, worth trying the network status checker for any local issues: https://smarty.co.uk/network-status-checker

Smarty runs on 3 network, while GiffGaff runs on O2 - this may account for the very different speeds you are getting.

It does seem that the Support team are busy these days and it can take quite a while to get a reply.

The other way to make contact is via a complaint: https://smarty.co.uk/complaints

Having said that, at present yours is not really a complaint as such and may be something that Smarty unfortunately cannot solve immediately.

[MuneebP_1344715]

Hi my sim network is not working 

[MSF]

@MuneebP_1344715  Sorry, but that really is not enough information for anyone to help you.

Do you mean that you don't have a mobile signal? Did you check Network Status?

Is your phone compatible now that 3G may have been turned off where you are?

Do you see the problem here?

[MSF]

@Jennifer-675299  In short, there is no direct number. Smarty keep costs down by using chat (you should be dealing with a person and not a bot).

The alternative is an email:  https://smarty.co.uk/contact

[Strandloper]

@Jennifer-675299,

[Rebekah_150]

[George1980]

Hi can you help me please?

[MSF]

@George1980  What is the issue?

[SusanRo_2636768]

My phone keeps saying no data but I am on a work plan 

[ManiMani]

They are not open 8-8, 7 days a week, as they haven't replied in 10 hours of messaging

[MSF]

@ManiMani  They are, but they are also busy and so will not reply that quickly necessarily. It will also depend upon the nature of your query.

If you were not clear in what you wrote, that may also contribute to any delay in a reply.

[Qamarf55]

Most unprofessional customer service from Indian agent, one issue needs to explain 100 times. Since Thursday morning 12 Sep 2024 I can't make or receive calls but data working properly and this little thing those agents don't want to listen/understand. Never trust to smarty agents, should be UK help line with UK customers services. 

[MGLeon]

Agreed wasted two hours of my life last night for what is a simple request for a PUK CODE he kept insisting it was 0000 which it isn't.

Still no further forward

Have you tried a network reset? On iPhone this is under Settings>General>Transfer or reset phone>Reset>Reset Network settings.
