79 TopicsAvoiding a loop activating a 'Bonus SIM"
I have an existing (UK) SMARTY account and SIM. I want to add the 'Bonus SIM' to my account (using in a different phone). Instructions from Support pages just lead to an endless loop... Activating a spare/bonus SIM or a SIM bought in a shop or other online supplier Have a SMARTY SIM and want to activate it? Here is how to do it. After entering the SIM code, you are prompted to Login (NOT mentioned in the instructions). Then Steps 4. Choose a plan and enter your details, and 5. Make a payment for your chosen plan, which isn't offered. I've tried different approaches but nothing seems to allow me to activate/add the Bonus SIM. Guidance appreciated.5.5KViews2likes10CommentsCall Failed
I have NOT been able to receive or make calls !!! I Just get a silent hang while trying to make calls then an error message “” CALL FAILED “”… and I call myself and it goes straight to voicemail ( which I don’t have setup !!!) even when set to 4G / voLTE / 5G / WiFi Calling !!!! And over the past year I have had 30% of my year with NO INTERNET DATA CONNECTION…. Even after being forced by smarty’s staff to do the same steps over and over and over when CX tea refunded me one months bill and told me to leave if I’m NOT happy with smarty mobile !!! And confirmed that I followed all steps correctly ( eg: being forced to hourly reset my NETWORK SETTINGS ON MY iPhone 12 128GB !! Which doesn’t help including changing my APN settings over and over and over !!!!!! “” OOKLA “” speed test shows bearly enough speed to even move …. ( 4.00Mbps ) which is not even enough to open a simple webpage or refresh WhatsApp , Instagram or Facebook !!!! Emails randomly appear late etc !!! Going back to missing calls and unable to make calls which just started a month or two ago!!!!! CALLS ARE VITAL FOR ME DUE TO DOCTORS & HOSPITAL APPOINTMENTS AND CATCH UP’s WEEKLY!!! also I have a elderly mother who I need to connect to regularly due to health concerns and checking up on her for peace of mind !! I am beyond stressed and full of anxiety by SMARTY MOBILE who say it is “””NETWORK CONGESTION “” and apparently there is nothing that can be done !!!!! But…. THE ISSUE IS AT BOTH ADDRESSES NOT JUST ONE !!!!! So …. Clearly it is a completely error / fault … I use the postcode checker & network checker daily and it shows no issues whatsoever… but OOKLA SPEED TEST APP SHOWS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE LOW SPEED JUST ABOUT PICKS UP SPEED ( 4.00Mbps ) just taken now … sometimes it’s even worse ( 1.00Mbps ) which will not even open anything data wise !!! ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS without leaving smarty since I am paying £12 unlimited everything ( maybe is it possible to move my telephone number to another frequency? Is that possible? )Solved4.3KViews2likes10CommentsJust 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.58Views1like1CommentSmarty 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?80Views1like6CommentsShort codes 79100

My Smarty SIM shows full signal but Service State says “Out of Service.” I cannot make or receive calls or texts. I have been back and forth with Agents. Although polite and helpful they cannot solve my problem. My SIM number is 8944200205748063009 APN is mob.asm.net. Network Status: SMARTY Mobile Network Type: 4G Service Status: In Service - Was saying Out of Service Mobile Network Status: Disconnected I have reset network settings and tried manually selecting network. Can someone check if my SIM is properly provisioned for voice and IMS registration? Can this be treated as a matter of urgency please? 21 days and counting...Solved147Views1like1Comment
