Avoiding 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.
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.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?
