Mobile network Three has apologised after customers across the country reported problems making and receiving voice calls.<\/p>\n

More than 10,000 people have logged problems on outage site Downdetector, with the first issues reported around 1pm.<\/p>\n

The network said a “small percentage” of customers were affected and that it was working hard to fix it.<\/p>\n

People on X reported problems in places such as Yorkshire, Derbyshire, North Lanarkshire and London.<\/p>\n

“Six hours in and I still can’t make or receive a call!” said user @nameisrichard.<\/p>\n

“I’m trying to organise my mother’s funeral and I can’t make, or receive, a single call. It’s appalling,” said @flynn1965.<\/p>\n

@bertis100 posted: “We have no coverage since 1pm in Motherwell Scotland.”<\/p>\n

The network first apologised this afternoon but said data and 999 calls were working as normal.<\/p>\n

Three repeated the message at 7.30pm and said it was “really sorry” for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n

However, its latest message only mentioned data services were unaffected, suggesting emergency calls might be impacted after all.<\/p>\n

The firm’s coverage checker is currently unavailable on its website.<\/p>\n

More than 5,000 people were still self-reporting problems on the Downdetector site just before 8pm.<\/p>\n

It was announced last month that Three’s merger with Vodafone had been approved<\/a><\/strong>, with the companies promising an improved service and an \u00a311bn investment programme.<\/p>\n

The merger is expected to formally complete during the first half of 2025.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
