Anyone on Smarty?

[Raymond Lin]

My sim only contract ends next month, currently paying £20 for 100G on Three. Their best deal would be 120G for £17 but I don’t need that much. 50G a month is plenty and I see Smarty has 50G for £8.

Anyone with them and do they have free EU roaming? I can see 12G, is that within the 50G?

Also, do they allow tether and hotspot?

Not sure who else to go with, any recommendations for sim only contracts.

The 12gb will come off the 50gb allowance. Wife is on smarty no problems when we were in Bulgaria. Could also check IDmobile they use Three as well.

50GB with Lebara (Vodafone network) includes 30GB EU roaming. That's my current SIM, works great.

Have a look at Talkmobile - it’s on the Vodafone network

I also have an IDMobile sim in my tablet and would recommend. It has data rollover which is useful, as I rarely use it when I’m in the UK, but when I go abroad I effectively have double allowance

As for tethering/hotspotting, there’s no issue with either provider. I’m not sure it’s a common restriction nowadays

I've been with Smarty for a couple of years now and they're great.

Tethering and hotspot is allowed, the roaming allowance comes out of the normal data limit.


Their service is decent too, I've switched plans a couple of times even when they've done special offers through MSE & uSwitch and been able to do it through the chat service.

5G speeds are great, probably only a bit slower than you'd get on Three direct.

I've been Smarty for a couple of years as well since Three were no longer offering EU roaming. I've yet to use it in Europe but my brother does. It's generally good and hassle free. I got a 30GB > 60GB deal for £10 a month and this hasn't changed.

On smarty here for a work mobile when I need it in the south of Ireland - I occasionally have to travel down there - no issues at all and also on their 8 quid a month jobby.

 

[Oh Ed not again.]

I can't fault Smarty.

£8pm for 50GB, roamed in Romania recently with no issues. Good speed and all out of data allowance etc.

My only small gripe is that I can't roam in Switzerland, France/Germany fine - but the Swiss... no dice.

Can't fault them since i joined them a couple of years ago. No issue with EU roaming in Italy, France, Belgium and I think Denmark. Better signal than 3 before.

Also £8 for 50gb here. Exact same as 3 in terms of coverage which I was happy with so win win.

I've been on Smarty for a couple of years after EE and so has my wife.
We have holidayed in Gran Canaria, Paris, Benidorm, Austria with no problems using the phone.
I'm on 60gb for £10 so £8 for 50gb is a steal.

There's a 12GB limit for EU roaming, so not your full 50GB. However they do allow you to purchase addon GB for around £1 each. We've used them for a good few years in during our trips driving through EU to Norway.

Not noticed that limit yet. Is it a daily limit?

Edit: monthly; I'd better be a bit more cautious then.

12G a month is fine, I usually only go for for long weekend or a week max anyway.
