Three UK telco bug has customers receiving and making random calls
2021-06-18 20:11

Customers of the Three UK telco company are panicking as they receive a series of random phone calls due to an ongoing issue.

Outbound calls from customers are being routed to random strangers.

"My phone isn't connecting with others and then had a very random number ring. My son tried to ring my husband and, after ending the call, it connected 30 seconds later... hope you sort the gremlins soon," said Hilary.

When trying to phone a specific person, such as their partner, calls are being routed to random people or failing altogether.

Three UK customers are receiving calls from random numbers in a series.

Of course it's a data breach as you're routing calls to random people showing them our numbers.
