Just been with Smarty for 1 month from Voxi. Though I can't complain about the 5G coverage. I'm surprised I am unable to reply to a short code from my GP nor do I get visual voicemail. It's 2024 hardly new technology. I feel I will need to go back to Voxi once my contact nesrly is up which is a shame as I like the network coverage, but if I cannot submit readings to my GP (which I could do with VOXI) then its not a safe network for me.  ...

All other major networks and some MVNO's have visual voicemail. For the iphone base, it's very easy as it's a one size fits all sort of thing. After being with Vodafone for 2 years, the idea of going back to a standard voicemail seems so so silly. Being able to label, listen and share voice messages is a must have! ... View more

It is great we can roam in Europe for no extra cost subject to fair use. I would like the option for a similar option when visiting other countries too. For example, in the summer I am going to Turkey for the first time. As an example, I will end up paying, say, £15 for a Lyca Mobile sim for a month to have 15Gb data rather than risk clocking up a big bill for not a lot of data with Smarty. Wouldn't it be great if we could pay the £15 to Smarty and be able to use our allowance subject to the same limits as in the EU? ... View more

Just a thought, given the number of times the question of accessing adult content appears on this forum each week, how about a name change from Smarty Mobile to “Spunky Mobile” 😗 ... View more

Having the 12GB available to roam in the EU is fantastic, however it would be better and Smarty would be become a market leader if the ability to use the full amount you have on the tariff selected were available. ... View more

If you have multiple family sims with a monthly data allowance in a group plan, some sims may run out of data while on other sims, there is remaining data. Please allow group data allowance to be shared / transferred / pooled. An enquiry has been made about this at least once before: https://community.smarty.co.uk/t5/chats-hacks/can-group-data-be-shared/m-p/3728 ... View more

Greetings, I have spotted a Three phase8 monopole site outside Westcott innovation centre (near Aylesbury) with the paint pealing off. This got me thinking, maybe we could get some of the three poles painted in interest colours/styles related to the local community. Or simply a way to report this to Three so it can get a repaint, maybe is Green to match the trees or Blue to match the sky.  ... View more

Just a few thoughts to hopefully avoid disappointment from new customers :   1, Make it clear that Smarty runs on 3, advising people that if they haven’t already, they need to check the coverage of 3 where they live, work and socialise. People are attracted by Smarty’s “lemonade prices” but expect  a “champagne service” when some people have poor or non existent coverage on 3.   2, Make it clear that Smarty is a mobile phone service, and should not be used as a long term replacement for home or business broadband, as pointed out in section 5 of the Smarty terms and conditions.   3, Make it crystal clear that to use Smarty abroad, the APN in people’s devices must be changed to “mob.asm.net” ...

Here they're offering unlimited data for 16 pounds: https://smarty.co.uk/plans/unlimited?vc=15Mth16UnlJun24Aff But as soon as I click it, it goes to my account and it tells me I have to pay 20? I think this is because I'm already a Smarty customer, and it looks like this offer is for non-customers then. Why can't I have the discount? It makes no sense treating customers worse than non-customers. ... View more

Many apps are now supporting Androids new feature that was introduced in Android 13 called Themed Icons.  This is part of Androids 'Material You' and when turned on in the system settings allows the supported app icon (adaptive icon) to match the colour of the currently displayed wallpaper. Most of the apps on my phone have already implemented themed icons and look great.  I'm hoping this is something Smarty could easily implement as it's just a vector graphic with a few specific monochrome layers and as the Smarty logo is designed with just 2 spot colours it already lends itself to being used as a themed icon. ...

Many service providers offer the ability to replace your sim the same exact day if you have an unactivated sim laying around in case you happened to lose your sim or phone. The Smarty article on losing a sim mentions that you have to order a replacement if you lose a sim, meaning you will not have access to your sim, phone number, data, calls, and texts for several days until the replacement arrives. I don't think I need to explain why, but losing access to your primary sim card nowadays for several days is absolutely unacceptable as many people rely on numbers for 2FA, being contacted, mobile data, etc, and losing access for several days would grind any productivity to a halt, and being a person that cannot lose access to my primary sim for not even a single day, I am questioning whether to stay with Smarty as there is simply no good redundancy procedure if I were to lose my sim or phone. I would like this to be changed and would hope Smarty allows for customers to have backup inactive sims on hand, and be able to move your lost sim to one of the backup sims same-day via an online service.   ...

I was with EE, when I received a voicemail, I would receive a text with the callers number. The text would show the name of the caller if they were in my contact list. Smarty just send a text with Smarty's voicemail number. Please could Smarty change the notification text to show the callers number. I know the voicemail headers include the number but this does not really help me identify the caller (or tap #). ... View more

Is there a way of skipping forward and back whilst listening to voicemail messages? On EE you can press 7 to skip back 5 seconds or 7 to skip forward. I tried various key presses when listening, nothing happens. ... View more
