What is happening?!
I went onto the smarty website a couple days ago. Ordered my sim, set up my plan and requested a pac code from the old provider which I then put into the smarty website as it asked for the pac code. I then set up an account on smarty and I’ve had my sim delivered today. Problem is it’s saying awaiting number on the main dashboard and I’ve just had an email saying a replacement sim is on the way…I didn’t order a replacement sim?! I only got my new smarty sim through the post today. So 1. How do I activate if it’s not giving me the option to and 2. Which sim do i activate? The one I have or the replacement sim I never even ordered? so confused!
How to add a replacement sim to groups
I need to check a replacement sim but only have a dashboard for my sim. and the telephone number of the new one. I don't want to activate the replacement sim in case it deletes my inuse account. Can I open another dashboard on the phone it is intended for even if my dashboard is registered to the phone?Possible Split Port
Pretty sure I've got a case of bad / split port. Dashboard still shows the number for the SIM I was sent. Transfer has been delayed but dashboard still shows yesterday's date for completion. My old provider says porting complete, but I can only make calls and not receive them (other than from those on the SMARTY network) on any number (temporary or my current / original). Interestingly when I check my phone, it has my current number and if I make a call, it shows with the correct (current) number. I've not had a text or email saying porting has been completed and after raising a query via the chat, the front line support can only say its 'been escalated' and to wait a further 24-48hours (which will now presumably after the weekend as I guess 'that' team doesn't work over the weekends). Starting to feel like I've made a mistake joining SMARTY as the front line (chat) support team seem very limited in what they can help with.
Possible Split Port
Pretty sure my partner (who cant post here because the verification email doesn't work has got a case of bad / split port. Dashboard still shows the number for the SIM she was sent. Transfer has been delayed but dashboard still shows last weeks date for completion. Her old provider says porting complete, but she can only make calls and not receive them (other than from those on the SMARTY network) on any number (temporary or my current / original). Interestingly when we check the phone, it has her current number and if she makes a call, it shows with the correct (current) number. Not had a text or email saying porting has been completed and after raising a query via the chat, the front line support can only say its 'been escalated' and to wait a further 3-5 working days which is pretty poor form (especially as cant access banking / finance apps because the OTP doesn't work). Starting to feel like joining SMARTY was a big mistake as the front line (chat) support seem very limited in what they can help with.
Customer Service & Support
Just joined Smarty and all appears to be going okay but I am puzzled by the lack of contact-ability of the Support staff. I presume there are some support people lurking in the background but I am concerned that they are so elusive. Every other service provider has had a support phone number and a contact email , whether web based or via an email program. Is this bothering other people ?New SIM problem ?
Activated my new Smarty SIM yesterday and I notice that the mobile number in the Dashboard is not the same as I requested (i.e. I sent a PAC code to Smarty with the details). However even though the number displayed is not mine all my old services seem (?) to be working. When my wife calls my new Smarty number to test it out there is no connection but my old number (from vodafone) still works. This is not so much a complaint as a “what’s going on” question ??
