Can I start using after a few weeks?
Get my full 30 days (edited)

Best deal going for unlimited everything, but there is good reason, the Three signal is often rubbish.

But you can stick this Sim in a 4G router, and use it as your household broadband. But just make sure you have a strong Three signal in your area first.

When I had this, I often had to switch to 3G as it got a better signal and faster speeds than 4G, so with 3G being turned off soon, you will be stuck with 4G.

It’s not 5G. It plainly only mentions 4G and 3G. Cold.

Stupid question but I get 4g at my house and not 5g yet doesn't this still work for me?

I use smarty for my phone and router, I have unlimited for my 4g router and works superbly, get around average 50mbps which is fantastic, before I was with sky who only had speeds of 9mbps for years for me, smarty is also alot cheaper. I can't get fibre where I live unless you have virgin which is truly unreliable and basically crooks, so the max speed I could get was 10mbps. To sum it up Smarty is great on the outskirts of grimsby where I live!

I'm using this exact deal in my 5g router (edited)

I'm currently on Three with unlimited data for about £15/month, but this goes up by CPI annually. I was tempted by this to lock in the price with Smarty's 'no annual price rises' promise, but there's just one snag, hidden in the T's&C's:

Consumers accessing the SMARTY website via promotion page hosted by an
authorized affiliate of SMARTY (“Affiliate”) can purchase the current SMARTY
1-month Unlimited Plan (“Eligible Plan”) for £16 (“Promotional Price”) and
benefit from the Promotional Price for up to their first 12 continuous months on
the Eligible Plan (the “Promotion”).

So much for that.

I'm buying a house that doesn't have fibre. So options are 10Mbps copper line or 4G/5G. Expecting to move in a few weeks.

The only network that has 5G in the area is EE, so I was planning to go with them, despite them being a bit pricier (can get unlimited for around £23 per month after discounts). Obviously 5G speeds will be much better but then I read that even though it's advertised as unlimited it's actually capped at 600GB! How is that even allowed on an "unlimited" plan??

Anyone here have experience of EE and the 600GB limit? Has it been a problem for you?

So effectively only £4 with TopCashback if used only for 1 month? Or is there a minimum number of months the connection needed to be active to be eligible for TopCashback?

Is it easy to Port number from Three to Smarty and back again , to do the PAC dance, since Three have raised their prices to £24 pm for all unlimited?

My contract ends next month so have to undergo this rigmarole.

I'd mobile use the three network and I've found some new deals.

Imma try one of their Sims and compare in the router

I still do have £15 per month their Unlimited SIM - awesome download but sucks upload speed in my area. (edited)

Smarty 5g speeds in my phone are blazingly fast. Screenshot below:

Smarty’s speeds can be improved by disabling the adult content filter in the dashboard.  The filter is a bit of a bottleneck. 

Has anyone tried changing their existing Smarty plan to this one - I am on their 30 gig plan and want to upgrade to the unlimited for £16 - but only for a month as vodafone have screwed me on my fibre broadband and disconnected me early with my new provider not starting until 17th May!!!!
