Smarty runs on the Three network. Smarty is a virtual provider, which means it uses another provider's infrastructure – in this case Three's. It offers 3G, 4G and 5G coverage.
Smarty offers 3G, 4G and 5G coverage with Three's network, claiming coverage of over 97% of the population.
To check coverage where you live, use our free interactive mobile network coverage map. Simply enter your postcode into the map and it will tell you how good Three's signal is in your area, as well as comparing it with the other providers.
Smarty only has Sim-only deals that come with no contract ranging from 4GB for £6 to unlimited data for £20 a month. All deals come with unlimited minutes and texts.
It also have three 'data discount' deals where instead of rolling over unused data, they refund the cost of the unused data at a price of 1p per MB.
Smarty does not have out-of-bundle costs as minutes and texts are unlimited and data is bought as an add-on.
