Reset Network Settings will delete all saved Wi-Fi passwords
This step also removes all Bluetooth pairings and VPN profiles. Make a note of your Wi-Fi passwords before continuing. Only use this as a last resort after all other steps have failed.

Step 6 — Reset Smarty's network settings when internet is down

Android: Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings restores Smarty's default APN and clears Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, leaving apps intact.

iPhone: Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings — the phone restarts on SMARTY defaults.
