MOBILE network Three appears to be down with hundreds of customers complaining that they can’t make calls.

Outage tracker DownDetector is reporting more than 1,700 complaints from Three users.

Three appears to be experiencing issues across the UK

The problems appeared to start at around 9am this morning, peaking at 9:30am when the number of complaints reached more than 1,900.

The outage is affecting customers across the UK, in cities including London, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol and Birmingham.

Around 51% of the customers who complained have said they are experiencing issues with their phone, while 25% are having problems getting signal.

Up to 22% of the complaints recorded are from customers who are struggling to use their phones to access the internet.

Frustrated customers have taken to Twitter to express their anger at being left without a functioning phone.

One user wrote: “Oh great @threeUK is completely down again… I will be switching in Feb.”

Another said: “What’s the problem this time?! No signal, no data.”

Rebecca added: “My data suddenly disconnected about 30 minutes ago and despite re-starting my phone a few times, it’s still not working…”

One user in Durham wrote: “What has happened to the service this morning? No signal, can’t make/receive calls, send texts etc. I live in Durham.”

The outage comes when many people are relying on the service to work from home, according to the government’s coronavirus guidelines.

Amy said: “Hi @ThreeUK it’s becoming impossible to work from home when you have no service.

“This is becoming more and more common. What’s going on?”

The network, which has around 10million users in the UK, is yet to confirm to customers on social media that it is experiencing issues.

HOAR has checked three postcodes in London and Leeds on the network’s service page. In all three areas, the provider says that it is aware of an issue.
