No calls getting to my phone when at home
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.
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?
