The server has a set list of domains it can allow, the rest are blacklisted. Last week they temporarily had this disabled and all browsing was allowed, speed was bog standard and latency massive, but using Amazon cloud as an ISP based in America is always going to cause that. That's why I can't see it ever being sustained for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and other video apps that rely on a good bandwidth to avoid issues. I'm sure inevitably this will be added to the list, but you're talking YouTube at a push and TikTok videos no LIVE streaming or anything of the sort that relies on low latency.I would recommend people who have it fill in the form to request more apps, I have asked for quite a few EV charging Apps…
But I like the idea of the smart sim, but not sure about the implementation, as surely if something talks over HTTPS or ports 8080 or 443 then you should be able to web browse unless they are IP whitelisting on the Proxy
EE, O2 and Vodafone do actually allow businesses to use their own core network, which means you get a BT / O2 / Vodafone IP address and benefit from full speed or a limit if you ask them to set it, it's taken them 3 years to bootstrap Telnyx on an Amazon server with a dodgy IMSI setting you have to manually change to roam networks, very disappointing. I'd rather pay £15 a month extra (expensive, but no workaround without profit) and have access on my main SIM to ALL networks, but that would mean they'd need to use a central core network rather than Gamma who only use Three's or very expensivley and complicatedly use each network as a full roaming service that provides calls, texts and data and bills Honest later, so it's a catch 22 for sure but I wouldn't expect them to be adding anything to Smart SIM beyond basic apps, the reason they don't support voice calling on WhatsApp despite being a supported app (telling) is that they know their server is pants.
Back in the day before I knew about them apparently they had Smart Signal that allowed you to use the other networks, I'm curious whether this allowed you to use calks texts and data and how this was worked out in terms of routing everything through Honest. Why did they get rid of it in the first? Probably for the idea and problem I said above, complete guess. Expensive.
