call issues
147 TopicsNot receiving calls
I haven't been able to receive calls on my Smarty number for a while now. Anyone who tries to call me goes straight to voicemail. Text messages come through several hours after they've been sent. I also usually only get notified of receiving a voicemail by text at least 3 hours after the call took place, often more. I'm using two sim cards in my android phone, and the other works completely fine, but because that one is for a foreign number there's many things I can't do with it that require a UK number exclusively. I've tried things like resetting my network settings already, to no success. Any advice would be very much appreciated!44Views0likes3CommentsNetwork Failure
Since Friday 2-Oct where I live Perton W-ton) I have had practically no service, phone calls texts & data! No explanation has been given as to what is going on other that some vague reference to maintenance (We're fixing an issue in this area at the moment and aim to have things back up-and-running as soon as possible. We're sorry for any disruption this may cause and will add any further updates here.) This applies to Smarty and Three but not apparently Vodaphone whose service remains just fine. I have had two accounts with you for well over five years and feel very disrespected by the failure to explain what is going on. Why won't any one explain what is going on or should I leave Smarty (three) I have spent over an hour trying to get this published!111Views0likes3CommentsCannot connect to Smarty network after IOS27 upgrade
I updated my iPhone to IOS27 this afternoon. Ever since I cannot connect to the Smarty mobile network. It could be weeks before a patch release comes from Apple. Does Smarty have any settings I need to change to allow me to reconnect? Thank you.263Views0likes5Commentscant make a call

At home in East London, my phone (iPhone 16+) doesn't receive incoming calls. In fact, today it couldn't receive a message with a code to allow me to log in to make this post, and I had to get it emailed. I appreciate there can be areas within a house that won't get a signal. It happened with EE, but this is almost EVERYWHERE in the house. However, I do get messages to say I have missed a call so there is some signal getting to the phone. Having received a missed call message, I have to go outside to return a call, but after dialling I can't hear a ring tone. The people I am calling pick up the phone and can hear me but I have no idea they have done so. I have to restart the handset and usually all is then fine... until I go back into the house. Any thoughts on what is going on? Is this a setting on my phone? Or a weak signal from Smarty. I am thinking the latter as one of my neighbours had similar issues, and left. In which case, I may have to leave as I can't keep missing work calls.Solved112Views0likes4CommentsInvalid sim
Hello is there any chance I can change my sim to an eSIM and it’s constantly disconnecting, its worrying me now as I use my phone for emergency phone calls and it’s just disconnecting and saying ‘no service’ and ‘no sim’ - spontaneously, and getting worse. I have checked sim in other phones it’s not working and also really want to keep my number. Please resolve me - thanks50Views0likes1CommentJimbo
Just recently taken up Smarty free offer of 40GB extra date, since I did my phone will only make calls on WiFi spent hours talking to support tried everything even sent out new sim card still no use phone sees the tower but when trying to connect just reports "unable to connect to network". The sim card works fine in my old phone so can only assume they have somehow locked me out during the package update anyone had a similar issue?101Views0likes5CommentsMental Health issues
I have panic attacks and panic disorder. Could you please limit my numbers from scam calls, because unknown numbers develop my stress and worser my anxiety and panic conditions. I need to take my medications straight away if the call distresses me. Thank you.69Views0likes2Comments
