THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS are without mobile phone service this afternoon after problems on the Three Ireland network.

Customers report not having mobile network and being unable to make phone calls. Others say that text messages have not been sending for a number of hours.

The Tesco Ireland network uses the Three Ireland infrastructure so has been hit as well.

Some customers may be experiencing issues with their service. We’re working on getting this fixed ASAP. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
