No network ever

I’ve been with smarty for 3 months now and I get zero service or 1 bar which is no good to me. Today I have a satellite sign and an sos as my signal has any one any idea what that’s about. I’ve never had such a poor service as I have with smarty.

    Okay @Stepheng1968, if SMARTY say you got 4G and 5G, but you don't - perhaps it's time to switch to another service provider.

    Good advice from @MSF & @Chalkychap 

    If you do switch networks @Stepheng1968 Don’t switch to Three, as that’s the parent network of Smarty, so you would be in exactly the same boat you are in now. 

    Not that it should make a difference, but what phone are you using ?

    BTW, the satellite SOS signal means no signal & connectivity with the exception of emergency calls.

      Hi JJ thanks. That’s how bad it has been that I’m getting sos only. It’s an iPhone 15pro max.

    @Stepheng1968  First things you need to check are Coverage in your area and also Network Status. This will show if a) you can reasonably expect a signal in your area generally and b) whether a local mast is down.

    Has this been the case since you joined SMARTY 3-months ago, @Stepheng1968

    Is this happening everywhere you use the SMARTY SIM?
