Calling issue 23/01/2025 [UPDATED]

[DanniD]

Hi everyone,

UPDATE: Following an issue affecting voice calls yesterday, services have almost returned to normal overnight. Our monitoring has picked up an issue with calls connected via WiFI which we are investigating urgently.

Today, we also expect to see an additional impact on our service due to Storm Éowyn in some areas. We have already deployed extra engineering resources and planning for these areas, so we can bring sites that are impacted back online as soon as it is safe to do so.

A normal volume of 999 calls were connected yesterday and our monitoring confirms the service is working fully this morning.  We continue to investigate the small number of reports that we received about 999 call failures. We apologise sincerely for the inconvenience caused by the issues on our voice network. 

Due to these issues, our phone and chat lines are and will continue to be incredibly busy, so we're aware there may also be issues getting through to the teams at the moment. Please bear with us as we work through this. 

Thanks,
Danni

I still can't make or receive calls. This is a joke. My wife is pregnant and having the phone calls available is important. This needs fixing asap

Will there be any compensation due to three customers for this outage?

I also have a Sony Xperia 1 II and calling doesn't seem to work, SMS and data do. I was told to enable Wifi calling but can't see the option in the menu - I know this phone technically supports wifi calling but I'm not sure why the option doesn't appear. It's really annoying and has meant I've had to leave Three.

This was an extremely wide spread issue - right across the country it seems reading these messaages.  I was not able to contact 3 either by phone or online and the chat bot was not tuned into giving a service update or sensible response.  The safe guarding issue for many must have been extremely worrying. I am London based and not remote BUT really really struggled with pain managment for a friend who had a knee replacement this week - unable to contact 111 or the GP.  I am extremely disapppointed with quality of communication from 3. It is far below what I would expect from such an established organisation. Considerable organisational internal scrutiny needed.  I am checking out alternative providers - I've been a 3 customer since I got my first mobile phone which is a long time.  I'll certainly switch if there isnt a better response to me as a customer.
