Hi, both my wife and I, we are both with Three, are unable to make or receive phone calls. Fortunately our Three Broadband is working so we are currently able to use WhatsApp. Is there any further update on this outage?

thank you

This current issue is not new. I’ve been having the problem for weeks now. All my calls were diverting to voicemail.contacted 3 .they disabled voicemail so now when people try and phone me they just get call failed or no ringing tone.I like many don’t have a land line and my phone is my lifeline.As a vulnerable person I worry that I cannot call for help if I need it. Or when people try and contact me will worry and call the police.This is virtually a life death scenario for not just me but many vulnerable people, so GET IT SORTED

Hi @Flossie88, thanks for joining us here at Three Community.

The problem described above only cropped up today and has now been resolved. It sounds like you're impacted by a different issue, but either way I'm really sorry you've had trouble with calls recently. Let's try to figure out what's causing that.

Before this issue started, had your calls always worked well? Are you in a good coverage area and are there any updates for your postcode on our network status checker?

Are you able to make outbound calls or do those also fail?

Finally, have you tried resetting your network settings? The steps to do that are usually found in the Settings menu on your phone, under Reset or Network options.

Let us know more and we'll do all we can to help you. I've also sent you a Private Message with a few extra details, so we can help you with this issue as best we can. Just click your avatar image and then 'Messages' to find that.
