I’m on Smarty but I’ve never had issues. Mind you, I rarely make phone calls to businesses.

That's the thing, Fizz. It took me a while to twig what the problem was because of how rarely I phoned business. Though I don't suppose it's an issue with all Smarty customers because otherwise I'm sure there'd be more publicity about it

Hi all. I’ve got a Samsung A12 (Android) mobile phone. It’s about 3 – 4 years old, which is probably ancient these days. But it’s in very good overall condition.

My provider is ‘Smarty’, who use the 3 network.

I’ve noticed lately that people I’m calling can’t hear me – they say that my phone keeps cutting in and out. I’m having to repeat myself literally ten or more times (usually til I hang up in frustration). Each time I wander around the house, even go into the...
