SMARTY and IPv6?


[link to this post]
 
SMARTY appears to be using very similar network settings to Three (rather than operating their own separate IP network).

Has anyone managed to get an IPv6 address on SMARTY?

I get an IPv6 address but my phone can't use it, it's as if it's not routing to the internet.

I don't get any IPv6 address assigned with Smarty.

That wouldn't really be a surprise. Operating a public IP network costs serious money.

I have both a 3 and a Smarty sim, connecting to the same cell/antenna. The strange thing here is that despite both using the exact same infrastructure Three assigns an IPv6 address, but Smarty does not.

I suspect that this is a conscious decision to discourage anyone using their much cheaper Smarty plans for hosting servers etc.

Not necessarily the case, as you've found. The radio signal is shared after that us customers cannot tell !
