Users of mobile networks such as O2, EE, Vodafone and Three have said their networks are down.
According to website Downdetector.co.uk, users of those services as well Tesco Mobile and Giffgaff have been reporting problems with their services.
The outage happened as millions of Brits worked from home in light of the coronavirus epidemic.
An O2 spokesperson said: “Some customers may be experiencing issues when making and receiving voice calls on our 2G, 3G and 4G networks.
“Our mobile data and messaging services and O2 Wifi are not affected.
“This is a cross industry issue and our technical teams continue to investigate, working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
A Three UK spokesperson said: “We are aware of an issue affecting around 3% of voice calls. We apologise for any inconvenience and our team is working to fix this ASAP. The rest of the network is stable.”
A Vodafone spokesperson said: “There was a relatively short lived problem with around nine per cent of voice calls on 3G not getting through. While services have returned to normal, all the networks are working together to fully understand the issue.”
