[Network Issue] Service Update

[YulianK]

Update 09:00

Following an issue with our voice and text services yesterday, service has now been restored for the majority of our customers.

If anyone is still having issues, they should restart their device which should reconnect them to our network.

We apologise sincerely for the issues yesterday.

[MSF]

@Roger82  The top post in this thread explains. They will update it when they have information.

[DaveK]

I cannot make a voice call which is not acceptable in this day and age. What are you doing Smarty!  

[EnricoR_3418191]

This seems to happen to my wife who is on the Three network like Smarty. 
Is it a Network issue?

[GregDes_1386026]

I need my phone working as waiting to go in to hospital for heart operation on Friday and the hospital cant reach me 

[Frustrated25Jun]

Dear Smarty,

I only learned of your outage issue after many failed call attempts and several mobile and router re-sets.

Surely it would be good old fashioned customer service to text ALL customers as this function continues to work.  Then once again when the service returns to normal.

This would keep everyone up-to-date and reduce the amount of keyboard warriors such an unfortunate situation brings to the fore.

Many thanks in advance for such a sensible proactive approach.  Maybe a review of your internal procedures wouldn't come amiss.  Thank you.

[Roger82]

Great suggestions, hope Smarty are reading these and acting on them, they certainly aren't replying to any that I've seen anyway.

To expand on your idea, they could even tell the person that's calling our numbers that the service is down and not let it ring a few times then go to mailbox ( looks like we rejecting the calls)

Cheers 

[Figull]

Please could more information be supplied regarding what the issue is and when it will be resolved.  I have not been able to to use voice services and call out all day. Very frustrating. Thank you

[Figull]

I still am not able to make calls and have no understanding of why or when the call service will be resumed. Please provide a more detailed update. Thank you

[bucklander]

Absolutely fed up with this network. I will be leaving ASAP .

[Roger82]

Me too mate, the data service has been **bleep**e the last month or 2 also with slow connection 

[Kaii]

Truth nukes, the most based weapon of mass destruction

Yes, this sucks

[caver]

I am not getting any Data on the 5G network, as well as no voice.  I have signal strength, but no data transfer at all.

[Philipl_2204522]

I’ve had no phone service since yesterday

[MSF]

@Philipl_2204522 Because there is a network outage for voice calls.

[Philipl_2204522]

I’ve checked phone signal in area, No issues found but I still can’t phone out or receive calls in.

[MSF]

@Philipl_2204522  please see: https://community.smarty.co.uk/t5/chats-hacks/network-issue-service-update/td-p/55055 

[GarryRa_3402074]

So whats the point of wifi calling? i cant even use that.

[MSF]

@GarryRa_3402074 But the call ultimately goes through the voice call system...which isn't working.
