Network Reset on Motorola for SMARTY
A network reset on Motorola 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 → System → Reset → Reset network settings and confirm. Your Motorola 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 → Network & internet → Mobile network → Advanced → Access Point Names. 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.
