Great app, simple to use, great value, really happy with almost everything including roaming, but the connection speed could be better. And hoped it would be getting some benefit out of the Vodafone m... See more

Left O2 to join Smartie to reduce my monthly payments. The process for activating the new SIM card and porting my number over was very easy and straight forward. The mobile coverage in my area is better on Three network than O2.

When I tried to activate my Smarty Sim I had a few issues. I received no response to 2 emails direct to their customer service (3rd & 8th April 2026). Eventually I managed to sort it by following network reset instructions several times which I found on Google, because Smarty's customer service is not live. I then seemed to have virtually no reception in work, outside work or anywhere in the town I work in or on the 10 mile journey home, so in 2/3 weeks I used no data and made no calls, even though Three is supposed to have a good signal.
I got so fed up with not-so-smart Smarty that I changed provider on a different network, which has live, responsive and helpful customer service, and an actual signal.
I want a total refund from Smarty, but they are useless and non-responsive. It's not much, but their unfit for purpose 'service' cost me a lot of time, effort and frustration, so it's the least they could do.

Just spent 2.5 hours on Smarty Chat trying to get them cancel the transfer of my number from EE to them. I swear the advisor was either not engaged in the conversation or was being deliberately awkward. because as soon I said I had copied and pasted the conversation into word and that I intended to send it to SMARTY Complaints, Ofcom and post it on Social Media, he suddenly became helpful and resolved the issue. This has resulted in my terminating my account with them. It was the most difficult and frustrating interaction with ANY company that I have ever had. I was previously with Smarty but this incident has totally put me off reinstating with them. It was horrendous. All I wanted to do was STOP the transfer of my number from EE - I intended to keep the plan with SMARTY just not transfer my number - No way it should have taken 2.5 hours. EDIT: the advisor ALSO said I would receive a transcript of the conversation - needless to say I didn't - However I was savvy enough to copy and paste the whole conversation, pasted it to a word document with screen shots - so I have absolute proof. UPDATE: Thanks for the response but if you think I am going to spend EVEN MORE TIME trying to make a complaint - when you could quite easily read the transcript, (or ask me for a copy) then I am not - IT WAS THE MOST DISGRACEFUL INTERACTION - am finding an alternative provider. I am NOT chasing around after SMarty.

My husband added me to his account but I was supposed to keep my number. For some reason they deleted my husbands phone number and gave him my number, so now he is getting all my messages and texts. When we told them this was a breach of data they said they would look into it. My husband tried to log into his account today as we can't make or receive calls, to find his account has been cancelled. We are on holidays and can't transfer money to our account as our bank needs to send us a code to our phones. We are now having to pack up to go home on our second day of holidays.

Easy to change supplier to smarty and much better value than old one.great that you don't have to sign up for a year or two!

Great value for money in my opinion, everything is great, the only issue is that you realise how much free roaming date you have when you actually go abroad, or if you make a good research before you switch, that's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5. Btw the free roaming data allowance you're getting is 12GB, which is not bad at all and it's definitely worth it for the price, but the advertising is just free data in roaming and that may be misleading if someone is relying heavily on that.
