Network Reset on iPhone for SMARTY
A network reset on iPhone removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth pairings, APN settings, and VPN configurations. It does NOT delete photos, apps, or personal data. It forces SMARTY to re-provision your network settings.
Go to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings and confirm. Your iPhone will restart automatically. This process takes 30–60 seconds.
After restart, allow 3–5 minutes for your SMARTY SIM to re-register on the network. Mobile data, calls and texts should restore automatically.
After a network reset, verify APN settings at Settings → Mobile Service → Mobile Data Network. If the SMARTY APN profile was cleared, add it manually: APN: smarty.
Network reset removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords. You will need to reconnect to your home and other saved networks manually and re-enter passwords.
Test SMARTY mobile data by opening a browser. Test calls by making a test call. Test SMS by sending a text. If any feature fails, proceed to individual fix guides.

The reset process on iPhone takes 30–60 seconds and involves an automatic restart. After restarting, allow 3–5 minutes for your SMARTY SIM to re-register on the network. Mobile data, calls and texts should restore automatically without any additional steps.
Will I need to re-enter SMARTY APN settings after a network reset?
