Hi everyone I've been getting more than a few nuisance calls lately since I switched to Smarty. I don't know if it's just coincidence, and it probably is nothing to do with the switch, as I am using the same number I was using with my previous network. My latest call is from "Manor Farm House" - 01747 811974 and when I answered it, a man said "I've just walked through your door Mr (my surname) and there's no one here, so (swear word I don't think I can say on here) off"... this immediately panicked me as I was home alone at the time and the call happened literally a few seconds after I entered my house. I have no idea how they know my phone number, I can only guess they know my surname from online profiles Another call I had was from "Robert Bowring Butchers Bolsover" - 01246 824238... strangely I got this call at 17:36 yesterday and according to Google, this butchers shop I've never heard of or visited closed at 3pm yesterday so they wouldn't be open at 17:36. Unless it was a spoofed number or this butchers shop isn't a genuine butchers?? I also had a call from "O2" which was a private number. For this one I was bored anyway so went through with them giving false details, logic being the more of their time I waste, someone else more vulnerable than me isn't being scammed in that few minutes. I made up names and address etc when asked for them, and once they asked for my postcode I said "my postcode is 'I know you are a scammer'" and they told me to (swear word I don't think I can say on here) off... I usually use Google Pixel Call Screen for these calls, but I am waiting for a phone call from something I've applied to and I don't know the number it will be coming from. Usually I don't get so many, has anyone else had an influx in nuisance calls lately?! I am aware the easiest solution would be to get a new phone number, but I've had this one for years and it's linked to so many services it would be more effort than it's worth to change it Thanks in advance for any help!6.1KViews0likes2Comments[Feedback] Parental Controls - seeking feedback and ideas for the SMARTY app

Why is it that every time I access the website and/or app (Android Galaxy S23 Ultra) I am constantly nagged to enter a verification code (sent via email or text). This is especially annoying when using the phone app as it explicity it asks if I "trust this device". Why not just add biometric (fingerprint/face id) support and be done with it? Does anyone else have this issue?Solved4.8KViews1like7Commentsjoining Smarty, life of SIM deals.
Hi, I haven't received my SIM yet, but had a few questions: 1 My account page does not have much functionality, will this change once I activate my SIM? 2 If I navigate away from my dashboard, I seem unable to navigate back again; there does not seem to be a button to take me straight back to the dashboard. 3 My contract says that I will get double the data "for up to 15 months", which seems a bit vague. Does anyone know how long the offer actually runs for, and why don't they give a definite figure? 4 I haven't been offered two factor authentication on my account; is this something that will be offered after activation of my SIM?4KViews0likes10Comments[Open Discussion] How do you control content on your child's device?

There are numerous instances these days of SIM Swap fraud. In addition to setting a PIN code to unlock the SIM card, what else can we do to prevent scammers from persuading SMARTY that a SIM has been lost or damaged and handing over a new SIM to them?2.2KViews0likes6Comments
