@VictorPPetrov @aseeestudies And geomagnetic storms! They are still listing the days with strong magnetic storms on TV in Bulgaria. I was shocked when I found out that this was never a thing in non post-soc countries. They didn't have a clue what I was talking about lol

@AlexHealeyAudio @SMARTYMobileUK I had issues arranging a medical appointment last month and this because I could not take the triage call, so it had real consequences for me, even if 999 is possible to call. And it's been now over a month with no ability to make or receive calls and no solution from smarty

[Tsvetelina Hristova @TsvetMachine]

@SMARTYMobileUK Sure. I'll ask them to call me on my smarty network that is NOT working lol

@SMARTYMobileUK You have not addressed my concern of the concern of a lot of other customers through the contact forms either. I've had multiple contacts so far. Why don't you try calling me? Oh, wait ...
