    My new SIM card

    I recently got a new SIM card and setting it up and transferring everything was a breeze. However, I soon realised that the signal in my area is absolutely awful, I mean it's truly terrible. Making a call without connecting to WiFi first is pretty much impossible. It's frustrating because what's the point of having a phone if you can't actually use it, hey? If you're in a location with poor coverage, I would suggest exploring alternative options.

    SIM only contract

    I recently signed up for a SIM only contract and it's actually quite good. It's a great deal, especially since I changed from a different network. The only issue is that the network coverage isn't fantastic where I live, but thankfully I can use VoWiFi. When I went to the US, it was a bit tricky and costly to use my phone there. I haven't been to Europe recently, so I haven't had the chance to take advantage of the free roaming there. But all in all, I appreciate the fixed costs of my contract.

    Travel SIM card add-on

    I wasn't sure at first, but I ended up buying the travel SIM card add-on for when I was going out of the EU. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the coverage was just as good as my regular provider. It worked flawlessly during my trip, and the leftover balance was taken out of my monthly bill without any problems.

    No-contract, low cost, Wi-Fi Assist, Roaming in Europe, easy add-ons.

    I recently bought something from this company and their customer service is top-notch. I went for a plan without a contract which is not only budget-friendly but also has great features like Wi-Fi Assist, so I can use my phone at home hassle-free. One of the best things for me is that I can roam in Europe with my regular plan, avoiding any unexpected fees when I travel. Plus, it's so easy to add extras for areas outside the EU. All in all, I'm really impressed with the service I've received from this company and would definitely suggest it to others.

    SIM card

    I popped into this place to grab a new SIM card for my phone. The staff were so helpful and patient, which was great because I can be a bit clueless with all this tech stuff sometimes. They took the time to explain everything to me and made sure I knew how to use it. I think this company is top-notch when it comes to customer service, and I'm grateful for that. Big thanks, Smarty!

    Speedy and reliable internet service

    I have been using this internet service from Smarty for a while and I have to say, it's been pretty smooth sailing since I started. The speeds are as good as they said they'd be, and I haven't had any big problems at all. There was a bit of downtime when they were doing some work nearby, but they let me know ahead of time so it wasn't too much of a hassle. All in all, I'm happy with the service I've been getting.

    Customer service experience

    My experience with the customer service at Smarty was so disappointing. I tried to get some help through their web chat, but it was just useless and really frustrating. I had to wait for ages to get a response, and when I did, it wasn't helpful at all. They didn't fix the problem I was having, so I ended up feeling really annoyed and unhappy. To be honest, the customer service at Smarty was just terrible.

    My new cute phone case

    I recently got this really cute phone case from here and I was really looking forward to using it! However, when I tried to put it on my phone, I had some trouble and needed some help. The technical team I reached out to was completely unhelpful and didn't even make an effort to assist me. I ended up spending so much time trying to figure it out by myself. I was really disappointed by the whole experience!

    30GB plan

    Sent me a sim that has caused problems. Sim was a different number from my number for example if my no is 079411xxxxx the number on the sim is 07828 xxxxxx. Has caused me problems with WhatsApp banking etc. Smarty hasn't done much to resolve this issue. You can't speak to anyone. Only chat. No escalation or customer service no. All they talk about us problems with my phone. But I tried it on 3 different phone including iPhone. All come with the same problem as my phone. You keep having to confirm security details despite talking to the same person. Coverage is poor. Well it is 3 network. I left EE it was to expensive. Think twice before joining smarty.

    Smarty SIM

    Dreadful customer service. Bought a SIM that I waited over a month for, by which time the money I spent had run out so had to spend another £10 to activate the phone, which then they couldn't do and spent all day in a chat trying. Rubbish.

    Sim only

    Dreadful. If you value your time and sanity do not go with this company. If you do have an issue you will lose precious hours of you life trying to no avail to sort it. They have zero customer service and do not seem to posses the technical knowledge to resolve an issue their end with porting a number over. I’m on the 4th day without my number and have come to conclusion I’ll be getting nowhere with them and will have to go back to my old provider. Great prices but not worth the hassle.

    I ordered a new sim from smarty as i needed a nano not micro for new phone told them i will be keeping my number only they cut my phone off and left me without a service that i am paying for until new sim arrives .now i have no sim or service i think they need to change their ways on how to treat people all i could do was email messages and got no help .only kept saying we told you we would cut your service excuse me that was in an email after i ordered new sim but why cut you off when the sim has not yet been sent and you are still paying for the service all i needed was a nano not a micro so why cant i still use my sim until new one comes .shame on them they do not put customers first they soon show their true colours .

    SMARTY

    Great app and great provider. Love it.
    I've been with Smarty for 3 months now and not a single outage. It's basically the 3 network but cheaper! Pretty decent for the price! Customer service takes about a day to respond when they do so they are super polite and effective. The app is way better than the Giffgaff one and allows you to see all your usage and calls and messages numbers as far back as when you first joined! Giffgaff does not offer this unless you write to them and pay them for it! Ps. I am a genuine customer. I'm on 30 gig data a month unlimited texts and calls for £10.00. - They also offer unlimited data, calls and texts for £20.00 a month!
    It's a no-brainer! Go for it!

    ORDER YOUR SIM THROUGH MY LINK BELOW AND GET A FREE MONTH ON ME. I ALSO GET A FREE MONTH.

    Now simply copy and paste the link below into your Web browser. Where you see spaces in link the delete them then press search and you will now be taken to the Smarty website and once signed up for your packaged you will automatically get month of calls and data! Link:

    30GB data plan with unlimited calls

    Avoid Smarty they have no regards for customer service they leave you disconnected!!!

    Extremely bad customer service and no phone numbers to call they take a day to resolve issues - imagine being disconnected!!!

    New customers avoid Smarty and existing customers watch out you will get disconnected if you make 'high calls - 2000 mins or above' even with unlimited call package.

    I have unlimited calls 30 GB data plan yet this disconnected my line today without any prior notice or even asking me. They could only deal with my query over webchat and assistant said it's due to high calls over 2000 mins calls this month - i needed to explain reasons for high calls - when i explained due to covid19 more calls and connection is made with family and friends i was then told via webchat that it will take another day for someone to look into my account before it could be connected!

    I am now left disconnected from family and friends in this covid-19 situation as i cannot make or receive calls and no regards to customer services.

    When you have unlimited plan why do you have to explain for your calls
    no number to call
    cuts you off without any notice
    webchat really unhelpful
    you are left in the dark waiting in this given time

    All be careful before you sign to their cheap offers they do not care about customer service - you cannot talk to anyone - go with plusnet 3g or others!!!

    doesn't activate as it should.

    signed up to a plan with a SMARTY sim card, put it in my phone, created the account and it is telling me awaiting number???? This should have activated nearly right away. Basically i am waiting on a new sim card coming??? Why has it not assigned the number i put in as per the instructions. Robots to talk to you, not a great start.

    SMARTY SIM

    Worth the money! Cheap as chips!
    Some reasons I love this company:

    - Cheapest unlimited plan I found with no contract period so can cancel anytime

    - Excellent quick customer service via we chat with a UK based team

    - Transparent and cheap roaming rates and free roaming in the EU (you can use your allowance with no extra charges)

    - Money back for unused data if you prefer not to have an unlimited plan and buying extra data is the same price very cheap only £1.25 per GB!

    Great service & free month via referral - here's my code, just remove the space when pasting into the browser:
    refer me. to/ gUl0eJo

    Amazing!
    Overall I'm very happy after having made the switch from another provider that I found was very expensive.
    It was super easy to set up and if you to ask one question on Twitter which they responded to within 2 minutes or you can use the customer services chat line on their website.

    I've been with EE for 25 years. Saw your advert today. I want to change please!
