further to this post, the data rolls over each month into an account "piggybank" and ANY SIM on that account can use that rolled over data, so if you have more than one mobile device, you can get one with a 'decent' data package and get the minimum on the others and just share the overall amountIf you just want data for TV and you have Sky at home get a Sky sim with 2Gb data plus unlimited mins and texts for less than a fiver a month (dependant of the offer you find) and TV streaming is not included in your data so watch TV 24/7 for less than a fiver pm. AND your data rolls over if you don't use it for 3 years - brilliant
Good idea, silly question but how do you power the router if not on hook up ?Or even take your home router with you - as we did the other week. We are with EE and the router and SIM worked fine at both campsites we were at.
A proviso. Smarty is only as good as the 3mobile supply it’s carried on. Second year of intermittent data at the Rowing Club, after the assurance from 3 last year, that the problem was only a blip. I’ll use the Giff Gaff sim next time we’re here on O2. Hopefully I’ll get better results.With Smarty, you pick and choose when you want it, how much data you need. Once the month is over, your sim is asleep, until you pay for more.
As an example, I’ve put on 30gb for a tenner, to see me through until I get home on Tuesday. I’ll not put any more on until Hollingsworth, that will be unlimited, and should see me through until after Stratford show.
Tbh, I reckon it’s brilliant. But what do I know
Smarty shares 3Mobiles network. So if you get 3, you’ll get Smarty. Restrictions abroad, if you manage to get abroad, limited to 20gb per monthWhat is coverage like with Smarty in Scotland and Europe rural areas used in mifi? Can you use all your data in Europe or is it capped? Do you have to remember to pay each month or is it by direct debit? When in Europe does it have UK IP address so you can still use Netflix and BBC iPlayer?
