A third added: “It honestly feels like the network is down more than it’s up.
“I have to rely on WhatsApp calling most of the time.”
The network provider has more than ten million mobile customers across the UK.
It’s understood that iD Mobile and Smarty, which both run on the Three network, are also impacted by the outage.
A spokesperson for Three told The Sun: “We are aware of an issue affecting a small percentage of voice services and are working hard to fix it.
“Data services are working normally. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.”
