Help - SMART SIM not working in UK :(

[MarBell379]

Yeah I remembered about the code after I made the suggestion, it's a shame they don't offer the option of emailing the code instead, it's their loss as there must be a lot of folk in your position and they make a lot of money out of you if you are roaming.Jim

Typical Philippines business model it seems. Too busy trying to make quick money to worry about long term sustainable business. I guess other in my position would buy another card, making them more cash, but they'd probably only do so once before moving to another provider, so the short term gain is more than outweighed by lost long term business.
Its a huge shame, but this sort of model seems fairly common.

The choices are Globe or Smart, in my opinion Smart is better, Smart for the most part is pretty "Smart" they have some good products, they are just dumb in this one particular area.

They will lose more in lost revenue from not having a SIM roaming overseas than they will gain from an additional SIM card purchase.

Best to get a couple of Smart SIMS registered on the online system and get them over to the UK, at least you then have internet control of the SIMS and you should be fine well into the future.
