Posting for traffic.

I'm on 3, DF is on Giff Gaff. Down detector says both networks are reporting issues in the last half hour or so.

Anyone else?

I can't call my Dad - it either doesn't connect or kucks me straight off - he can call me but it's not coming through until he leaves a voicemail - not ringing my end but I get voicemail notification.

Texts are sketchy.

No, but I have had 8 power cuts today! Whereabouts are you?

Hi, I'm South coast and no power cuts so far - sorry you're having them it's a pain. I know there's supposed to be a storm on the way but we've got blue sky and Internet seems fine touch wood - also through 3. Baffling!

My parents are having intermittent issues today - both with Three

Bob02 · 23/01/2025 14:33

I haven't got network. I'm on ID mobile. My H has the got network and he's on 3.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 14:39

Looking on down detector several major providers seem to be showing issues but no news coverage so far. Dad texted that my number is coming up as not recognised. I can't call my son either ....

Just had a message from 3 "missed call". The number is actually my Dad? Eh???

Just found this.

But I don't think it's just 3.

Phone just rang from my Dad but it was just silence when I answered.

Three UK is down – here's everything we know about the network's outage

Having problems on Three? You're not alone

Hi yes me. Also on 3. Also on south coast. Got a missed call and a voicemail but can’t get them to ring out. My partner has tried me and he can’t get his phone to ring out either and he is with vodaphone.

Exhausted25 · 23/01/2025 14:52

Just to add my 4g is working- slow but can browse internet. Just can’t make or receive calls.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 14:53

It's so annoying isn't it ? Hate being so dependent on technology, but it is what it is I suppose. Worrying for anyone dealing with any kind of emergency.

Interestingly the BBC are reporting Chat GPT is also down world wide.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 15:26

Bumping to see if more people are affected.

No problem with 3 in South London.

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 15:31

That's interesting. I'm still unable to make or receive calls.

ChloeCannotCanCan · 23/01/2025 15:34

I'm on 3 in the NW and haven't been able to make or receive calls for the past couple of hours - very annoying!

Furball · 23/01/2025 15:38

Me too - I'm in midlands

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 15:39

I'm surprised no major news outlet has picked this up as it's affecting multiple providers and has beengoing on for nearly 3 hours. So annoying.

I’m with Smarty who use the 3 network and I’m having the same issues - North East

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 16:09

I just wish there was some kind of information aside from "whoops - sorry we're working on it". Really need to talk to my Dad about stuff that texting would take forever to do. Nah.

OP posts:
Combustivechicken · 23/01/2025 16:17

Yes I’m with Smarty (3 network). No calls in or out since just after 2pm

MistressoftheDarkSide · 23/01/2025 16:49

Another bump.

Ihopeithinkiknow · 23/01/2025 17:01

I'm on giffgaff and have been having problems over the last few days and it keeps coming up with no service and I got cut off from a phone call yesterday but honestly I just thought it was my very old IPhone pissing about lol I didn't even bother to look online to see if there were any problems but now you mention it I think it's likely it isn't my phone
