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.
