Poor network coverage (network status) - new joiner
Hi - I've recently joined Smarty with multiple devices (for myself and family members). I live in the centre of a large city and have always had good phone reception from other providers (PlusNet, GiffGaff, Lebara). However, since joining Smarty I'm suffering from very low levels of connectivity and the phone is constantly connecting to Wifi Call. I've done the usual checks (clean/reinsert SIM, try another device, airplane mode etc) and it persists. I can see from searching on here this is an issue affecting other users, and the network status page provides a rather unhelpful generic message about work taking place but without any timescales. Chatting to Smarty support didn't help today. Does anything knowledgable about Smarty on here perhaps have any other suggestions I could look at before I consider ditching Smarty and moving to another provider? I like the ethos and the initial customer engagement was great, but ultimately I need a phone service that works. (iPhone XS Max running IOS17) Thanks.
Wi-fi calling suddenly working
I've posted here before about not being able to get wi-fi calling on a Moto G54. Well suddenly I can. Just what I needed to save me from the tedious business of swapping networks. But the Moto G54 is still not on the compatibility list. I'm curious to know how an MVNO decides to implement wi-fi calling on a particular mobile model and how it publicises that decision. It all seems very hit and miss. Are there technical problems?Network and service

Wifi calling
I have a OnePlus Nord 2t (dual sim). With my Three SIM I can use wi-fi calling. I expected to be able to do the same with my new Smarty SIM, however, it does not work. If I switch on Airplane mode and switch wi-fi back on the Three SIM can make calls, the Smarty SIM cannot. I've tried swapping the Sims over to different slots. Am I missing something? Any ideas welcome. Thanks for looking.
