SMARTY Unlimited Data only SIM. 1 month plan, No contract, EU Roaming

I needed a data only plan and this is perfect for me.Can be cancelled or paused any time.The SIM works fine with my mobile router.I get unlimited internet cheaper than most other options I found.Definitely value for money.

This is not good at all, it does not work as it said it should, just seems like a waste of money

A swift delivery and will work without a problem. Sadly when I tried activation Smarty diverted me to a new Sim so I found myself with a spare sim on my hands. I must have pressed a key somewhere. One thing I have found is that, with a Smarty account, you can make the second one part of a group account and get a 10% discount on both monthly subscriptions, which is a bonus.

Maybe it's just me but I've tried everything and SMARTY appear to have a broken or deliberately closed loop of a system for activation. You can order a new SIM through their app or site directly with free delivery but to activate a 'spare' one like this they tell you to go to smarty.co.uk/activate and type in the rest of the card's registration number at which point you're asked if you already have an account, in which case, "log in to activate", which just sends you back in a circle or you can proceed to create a new account and they'll send you another SIM themselves, so this one was completely unnecessary.Scanning the QR code had the same result, that being to type in the remainder of the SIM's number and then create a new account or log in to an existing one where it has no option to activate a spare SIM like this, purchased elsewhere without being told to log in to activate again or create a new account and be sent another card. You end up going round in circles so just go directly to smarty.co.uk and save yourself 25p and a runaround.How many wasted phone numbers are there, linked to these SIM'S that can't even be activated?

Bought a mini travel WiFi stick for use across my devices when not at home and coupled it with this sim card as I liked the idea of unlimited data and not being signed into a 12 month contract.Their packages are pay up front each month for the tariff you would like and it's easy to sign up and get up and running in a devices.In general use its been in all sorts of scenarios and all sorts of places and ive always had good signal from being used in hotels rather than paying for their daily WiFi packages, been used in conferences or at school where WiFi networks has been locked down and was even used to keep my sisters kids at bay with their youtube and tiktok addictions when her phone line went down for a few days - the smarty sim in my portable WiFi router never skipped a beat and kept all the devices online without an issue.Overall I'm very happy with the simcard and service provided by smarty.

Great product , very worth it !

With this you are just buying an unlinked sim card. Once it arrives you need to scan the QR on the sim packaging and then make a smarty account. When making the account you can then pick what plan you want so getting this specific sim as an unlimited version doesn’t really matter.I found that if you had made an account and then tried to activate the sim through the account it didn’t work and wanted to try and send you a new sim. If you wait and make the account while activating the sim it works fine. It takes 3 days or so for a sim to arrive from smarty so with prime this arrives faster if you are impatient like me.In terms of speed I was sadly disappointed. The sim was to be used in a 4g router for home internet as I am currently moving a lot for work and 24 month contracts for broadband are not an option. I was getting maximum 5mpbs with full bars of signal in the middle of Dundee, Scotland. Smarty said it’s excellent coverage in this area and still terrible speeds. I tried it in my phone to check if the router was the issue but same problem. I have an EE sim that I tried in the router and was getting 110mbps lighting speed so it was definitely the Smarty sim. Monthly contact helps as I will not be renewing it for next month and will be getting a data sim from EE.Hope this review helps anyone looking at mobile internet options.

Great sim connectivity good value for money
