As well as its mobile network, Three’s website was also unavailable on Thursday morning, instead displaying a message which said it was down for “essential maintenance”.
According to online service monitoring website DownDetector, the issues with Three began at around 11pm on Wednesday.
The majority of users who flagged the issue with DownDetector cited problems with mobile internet.
The incident came on the day another mobile operator – O2 – became the latest to begin the rollout of its next-generation 5G network.
