New sim options?

Good to hear. Is there anything you have to enable on your actual Smarty account to roam?

Using an iPhone, it’s pretty easy to roam, just enable roaming in settings.
Might also add on smarty it is absolutely necessary you make sure the APN is correct. It is correct 9 out of 10 times on android automatically but iPhones default to three.co.uk on smarty as smarty SIMs use Three's config profile.

My APN details for the smarty sim. I take it these are incorrect then?

I had to pop to Stafford yesterday and noticed typical Three 4G congestion. Speeds were sub 10Mbps but they didn’t grind to a halt.

It’s frustrating as in certain parts, the 5G is absolutely blistering.
 
Talkmobile have a deal for unlimited data £16 seems pretty good.

Allegedly they do not credit check but do an identify check instead

That’s a very good sim.

Any technical differences between Talkmobile and Vodafone direct?
Not 100% sure as of yet, Talkmobile state "Data Speed - As fast as device allows" in my contract summary but some people have reported a speed cap of 150Mbps. I am going to test this when my SIM arrives.
 
Nope 5G roaming does not work on Three/Smarty. That being said though, they have the best ping times I've seen for roaming networks, a mile better than Vodafone. Was getting 300 ping on Vodafone, 60/70 ping on smarty in Spain. As for getting it to work, all you have to do is make sure the APN is set right and data roaming is enabled if using smarty. Land, switch your device on and it connects and works immediately on 4G/4G+.
I did notice that on NetMonster, it showed 5G NSA but it was in a permanently disconnected state.
