Hi everyone,

We're sorry for any disruption and inconvenience this issue has been causing over the past few days. Our team have been working hard on this, and the underlying issue should now be resolved.

For anyone who has been charged from top up credit when they had a pack or add on which would have otherwise covered the usage, the credit used should be restored automatically.

If you're still experiencing any difficulties using your service, please test if rebooting your phone restores normal services.

If the issues are still persisting, please let us know what you're experiencing in the replies, For example whether there's an issue with calls, texts, and/or data, and any error messages that you're seeing.


Hi everyone,

We've been receiving reports of some PAYG customers being unable to make calls or send texts since yesterday. We're working to resolve this as soon as possible, and will provide updates on this thread. We'll move all related posts to this thread in order to keep things tidy, and so everyone can easily find any updates. Please refrain from creating multiple threads about this issue in the meantime. 

Thanks,
Jonathan

I have purchased a Three Data pack and I cannot use it because I cannot send texts or make phone calls  (as at Friday 24th May 2024).  This is so annoying

Still can't buy a Data Pack on the app or website. I can login ok but apparently I am not authorised. How can I NOT be the account owner ?

I am still unable to make calls and send texts. When will this issue be sorted out?!

Over a week without calls and texts - completely unacceptable!

Sadly you are not alone, I think people have just got fed up posting here with no response.

Please all you out there give a shout out if you are experiencing problems still and also if it has solved itself for you.

Thank you

I had been having trouble making calls (Go roam) although data and texts worked on my Data Sim package.

However as soon as I returned to the UK, the calls started to work. Is this a Go Roam issue, if my data and texts were working overseas ??
