Just sharing an email I just received from Smarty folks.....

Hi there,

Did you know, SMARTY is about to get a big upgrade? We’re on track to be 5G ready in early 2022.

With our superfast 5G you’ll be able to stream blockbuster films on the go or enjoy super-smooth video calling with all your favourite people. And all at no extra cost.

We’ll be in touch with more 5G updates in the New Year.

Now that’s worth a fist bump,
Team SMARTY


Not that I have 5G yet thanks to three doing a runner Grrrrrrr :mad:, but just thought I'd share the news with everyone.

I know some users have had 5G working for short periods on Smarty, but nice to have an official announcement from them at long last I guess folks.(y)☺️
 
Makes sense they finally do it. Any higher ARPU customer that would have cared to pay more for 5G (on a contract), would be locked in by now.

So now Three are more interested in opening it up to everyone to reduce the cost per GB of traffic on the network.

Wonder what their definition of early 2022 is
'We’ll be in touch with more 5G updates in the New Year.'
Not too long till we find out jbennett360.😊
 
Phone showing 5G since new year, today got 750Mb/s with speed tests on a local mast, back to 4G now, oh well.

Got same message, but certainly won't be holding my breath on early 2022!!
 
Smarty started working on our local masts in 5G today on our Kids devices that were only showing 4G before so they must be rolling it out now.

Ah, thanks. Three 5G isn't live here yet so it was a bit too much to hope that Smarty would be.
