GrahamR_1560849 I wonder whether the problem may lie with the network that you are connecting to in S. Africa. Perhaps you have a poor signal. This is not down to Smarty.
I suggest doing manual network search on your phone and try each in turn.

To be clear the phone signal is fine. There are other cell phones here with different Sims and these work fine, noting these are overseas sim providers. What does not work is Smarty the UK sim. Therefore the comment not down to Smarty is nonsense. Further I have now contacted Smarty on several different occasions and these responses are equally hopeless.
