Smarty decline since merger
Any one else noticed the decline in data speeds and reliability since the merger. Smarty outages are now lasting days instead of hours, 2 - days now with less than 2Mbs, sometimes drops to 0.5Mbs on 4G - upload speeds are fine at 20Mbs. I used to get 70Mbs download even on 4G+. Three as always says work on going but Smarty only sends you to the community, not sure they have a customer service portal.
iPhone: calls and texts fail even with 4G data since Three-Vodafone merger — anyone else?
Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone else has seen this. My iPhone 16 Pro often won’t make or receive calls or texts — even though data works perfectly (WhatsApp, Maps, browsing, etc.). The signal icon shows 4G and there’s no sign of a problem until I try to make a call or send a text, someone tells me they couldn’t get through, or a text arrives hours late. When it happens, I can usually fix it by turning off Wi-Fi and toggling airplane mode once or twice. This has been happening only since the Three–Vodafone merger started rolling out. Do I need a new SIM, or is there a network-handover quirk affecting iPhones? Would love to know if any other SMARTY users — especially those who’ve been through similar handovers — have seen this and found a lasting fix. Thanks in advance!
