Moving from Three to SMARTY, anything I should know?

juliushibert

I'm about to switch over from Three to Smarty. Despite being a loyal customer of 10+ years they just can't beat the deals Smarty have on offer. Is there anything I need to know or be aware of that might not be getting on Smarty, kind of a like-for-like?

Three SIM 30GB Unlimited minutes - Current Contract

• 30GB 5G data a month, unlimited text, unlimited minutes. Pretty certain MMS are charged for. As are certain premium numbers.

My daughter is on smarty on the unlimited everything for £16…( special deal )

And although the signal in certain areas can be a bit ropey at times….all is good .
now they have 5G ( not in my area ).

I currently use Smarty for my home internet and it has worked well. WFH and streaming tv shows have all been fine - I've forgotten I'm not using fixed line broadband.

Only difference I'm aware of is with Three you could get a public IP address using the 3internet APN which is useful in some situations whereas Smarty uses CGNAT. If you weren't using the 3internet APN then Smarty would operate the same way Three does.

Also, if you order your Smarty sim card before 2nd Feb you can get a free month + £15 credit using a refer a friend link. You can activate the sim any time up to 6 months after ordering. I've sent you a private message with mine if you are interested.

Thank you both. I'll be using the contract in my phone only so highly doubt I'd need a dedicated IP address.
