I'm currently on Lebara and since Vodafone's 3G switch off I've suffered from poor quality calls. Lebara don't support 4G calling for my Pixel 5 so I'm looking for a new provider. Spusu only do 4G for iPhone and some Samsungs so they're out. Can anyone tell me if Smarty could be ok for me? 5GB a month is plenty and they have a deal that fits, but I just want to be sure that they support my Pixel 5 with 4G calling.

There is a Lebara problem with WiFi calling and VoLTE on Pixel phones which has been going on for some time.Pixel phones need a carrier profile to enable it and Google/Lebara have been blaming each other for a long time.0

Smarty are fine, but just make sure that you are happy with Three as the carrier in the areas where you want service.
We couldn't use Lebara even if we wanted to because we don't have Vodafone coverage where we live, same with any provider who use O2, no coverage.Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers0 -
