Lots of reports in other places about problems on "3" both phone and mobile web services.

Any ideas, any help out there.
Really frustrating, no internet in TN40 postcode for 3 days.

    No issues for me - and I've been using it intensively since Thursday.

    No issues in Colchester either. In fact, our service seems to have improved as I can now get a signal from within my in-laws house (which I never could before).

    No problems for me either.

    Clutching at straws but have you set your phone to 3G only in the settings? This stops your phone from searching for the non-existent 2G signal when it is outside 3G areas. Three doesn't do 2G anymore especially for PAYG customers. Three used to use the Orange or T Mobile networks for 2G outside their own 3G areas I think.

    Switching your phone off and on again can cure some problems too just like a PC reboot can cure many ills.

    Good luck.
