About Three UK
Three launched in 2003 as the UK’s first 3G only network. Today, Three’s network covers 99% of the UK population, carries 36% of the UK’s mobile data traffic (Enders Analysis, Q2 2025) and has been recognised as the UK’s Fastest 5G Network (Ookla Speedtest Awards, Q3-Q4 2025).
Three UK is a proud partner of Samaritans, using its network and technology to connect one million people to emotional support.
Three UK is one of the brands of recently merged VodafoneThree, which is the UK’s largest mobile provider.

As a result of the merger, Vodafone and Three customers get more coverage, faster speeds and fewer not spots. Devices automatically connect to the best coverage available – whether that’s on the Vodafone or Three network – effectively giving them access to two networks at no extra cost.
