Vodafone UK and Three UK completed their merger on 31 May 2025, creating the largest mobile operator in the UK.
A commitment was made to invest £11 billion over the next 10 years into the joint network which aims to improve signal, enhance data speeds and increase network resilience.
Customers of Vodafone UK and Three UK will be able to use both networks, their phones will use the signal of whichever network is strongest at their location. This will bring better mobile coverage to 16,500 square kilometres of the country – an area roughly 10x the size of London.
As of August 2025, VodafoneThree has been enabled network sharing at 500 masts across the UK. By March 2026, 10,000 more network sites will have access to both networks.
The roll out of shared access has already started in the areas of the country that will gain the most benefit from it. 95% of the rollout will be complete within six years, with the entire rollout finished in eight years.
