MiFi malarkey
Greetings fellow customers, I am a newby to MiFi, however, I need need a temporary WiFi connection whilst living elsewhere for about a month. I have unlimited text/calls and 60Gb a month Smarty on my mobile. How do the plans work? Can use my existing sim or have to purchase a data sim? Alternatively, do I tether the phone? The group plan appears expensive for my needs. I'd be grateful for any jargon-free suggestions please!
Just joined...just leaving
Switched over from ID mobile about 1 week ago and since then have no connection at all. I can connect to Wifi and make wifi calls, but when out and about the Sim shows no connection and and excalamation over my Pixel 9 Signal status. Obviously I've checked my APN details against those supplied, restarted, ejected and reinserted SIM...nothing.
Need to receive an urgent text whilst in Thailand
Hi sorry if this is an obvious one but I'm planning a trip to Thailand but need to receive a text to my British smarty number while I am there. What would I need to do to ensure I get network coverage as opposed to data for internet usuage? Is there a package I need to buy?
Smarty is very stupiddy...
Wow, nothing but profound problems -- I have paid but they won't hook me hooked me up to to my line. I keep getting chirpy messages telling me to sort out my own phone so I connect woth them! will be asking for my pac code as soon as they (if they know how) get my number transferred. I have discovered recently it is very important to find out if the customer service of a mobile phone company is based in Europe rather than India.. Oops, I forgot to ask, but 1 minute on the Web chat and belatedly figured out to my horror it was India. I am just praying they can manage the number switch before the end of the month. In the meantime I still have my Lycamobile (I was leaving them because they are based in Sri Lanka, haha) I cannot believe Which? have them as a recommended supplier. In the future I will never trust Which?
