Hi
Just wanted to put this out there to see whether anyone else is having issues.
I am convinced that 3 is prioritising its customers over Smarty.
For me it happens multiple times but only in highly populated areas even though it sometimes shows a couple of bars 4g I can’t get a data connection in my local town centre. The same happens in other areas where there is more people like retail parks etc. it’s not my phone because exactly the same happens to my son on his phone when he’s with me.
Also my work phone is on the 3 network and side by side I can usually get a data connection with my work phone when I can’t on my personal phone.
it seems like it’s getting worse and it’s very inconvenient when you are out and about.
So I believe that Smarty is getting congested because of prioritisation by 3.
I’m seriously now considering switching to 1p mobile which uses the EE network.
Really interested to hear if anyone else is having problems and even more interested if anyone has done any deeper digging.
