Plan changes

Are there certain plans currently subscribed users cannot switch to? I see a slightly cheaper plan with less data ( I donโ€™t need all of what I have ) being advertised on Reddit and Iโ€™d like to switch to it but cannot work out how to.

Yet another weekend with no reception. Inside or outside the house. I donโ€™t live in a remote area and should be able to expect to make calls and send text messages at the weekend. Completely unacceptable. https://ibb.co/fGvFSfP9 

@Nic1919535 Previously, you said the problem was down to work in the area. Is this the situation this weekend too?

While I can see that it is frustrating, when would be a good time for them to do work on masts? Surely it's a problem for someone at any time.

Hereโ€™s an idea, alternate the times/days that they do the work so different people are inconvenienced at different times. IF they are indeed carrying out work, again at the weekend, itโ€™s extremely unfair for those who need services at the weekend. 

@Nic1919535 But then Smarty don't own the masts and so it is up to 3 network (or their contractors) to sort it and they will suit themselves first.

Just as an update;  The representative was kinda helpful this morning (approx 830am) and eventually said she would change my plan to the one requested. Iโ€™m not entirely sure itโ€™s been done properly as my app now says it will change to a plan (8gb for ยฃ7) which isnโ€™t the same as the one advertised (32gb for ยฃ7) which I was requesting, once my current plans renews next month. 
But the most annoying thing is that ever since I spoke to her Iโ€™ve had no service, text or calls, and Iโ€™m having to use WiFi. Good job Iโ€™m at home. A second agent got me to reset my network setting which made no difference and eventually told me that there was a lot of congestion in my area and a lot of customers are connected to the same mast ! This isnโ€™t acceptable. 

@Nic1919535  As far as the new plan is concerned, it will currently show as 8Gb for ยฃ7 because you won't benefit until your next plan starts - they do not apply the offer midway through a month's plan.

Have you done a network status check to see if there is coincidentally a problem with a local mast today?

Thatโ€™s fair enough regarding the plan, thanks. 
Yes, Iโ€™ve done a check and there is apparently work happening in my area again - which makes this the third weekend in a row Iโ€™ve had no reception.

@Nic1919535 No harm in asking - you can have a web chat with Smarty Support to ask if they can do it.

Yes, thanks. I have been trying but Iโ€™m guessing they werenโ€™t online. They open at 8 I believe?
