Operating as a sub-brand of the Three network,[2] the operator aims to attract customers primary looking for cheaper deals than those available with three directly, by offering a monthly rolling SIM-only service, limited to online only support. Uniquely, the operator offers to buy back unused data by means of a bill discount. TariffsMonthly plans are paid for in advance rather than via direct debit, with the retailer suggesting that customers with a poor credit rating will not be credit checked or declined their service.[3] The tariff structure comprises a £5 service charge with each gigabyte of data charged additionally at a flat £1.25 fee, yet customers with unused data allowance will receive a credit on their next month bill for unused data, charged at the standard per-gigabyte rate[4] and calculated per megabyte.[5] The concept of offering a discount off the next month's bill for unused data is unique amongst UK mobile operators as is the unified price of data add-ons. A GB is priced the same in and out of a plan. [6] Upon launch, SMARTY offered hotspot and tethering facility,[7] although did not offer the facility to call foreign numbers, roam abroad or dial premium numbers, but promised to be working upon offering those facilities.[8] In early 2018, SMARTY launched their refer-a-friend program and is again unique with UK mobile operators. If a customer refers a friend, both get a free month on SMARTY. There are also no limits to this so in theory if a customer refers one friend a month they will keep their mobile bill free [9] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.engadget.com/2017/08/31/three-smarty-data-refund/ |title=Three's Smarty network buys back your unused data each month |work=engadget |date=31 August 2017 |access-date=17 December 2017}} 2. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.ft.com/content/814c4974-7dc2-11e7-9108-edda0bcbc928 |title=Three brings Smarty to the low-cost mobile party |work=Financial Times |date=10 August 2017 |access-date=17 December 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=https://help.smarty.co.uk/your-smarty-account-and-billing-details/how-billing-works-with-smarty |title=How billing works with SMARTY |publisher=SMARTY |access-date=18 December 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.cable.co.uk/news/threes-new-mobile-network-smarty-offers-a-refund-on-unused-data-700001923/ |title=Three's new mobile network SMARTY offers a refund on unused data |work=cable.co.uk |date=5 September 2017 |access-date=17 December 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=https://help.smarty.co.uk/all-about-smarty/how-does-the-data-discount-work |title=How does the data discount work? |publisher=SMARTY |access-date=18 December 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/848132/Apple-iPhone-7-Samsung-Galaxy-S8-smarty-three-mobile |title=A cheaper way to own an iPhone and Galaxy S8 - New SMARTY service refunds unused data |work=Sunday Express |date=31 August 2017 |access-date=17 December 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=https://recombu.com/mobile/article/what-is-smarty-three-mvno# |title=What is SMARTY?
