  • gtamorim gtamorim (@gtamorim) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I did tried all of that. Different browsers, devices, saved passwords, resetting passwords. It seems like the problem is on the other end.

  • bhabani79 Bhabanistan (@bhabani79) reported

    @ThreeUK @ThreeUKSupport #3Mobile and its home broadband is horrible. You are the worst company. Your service is pathetic.

  • bevstar1978 bev saunby (@bevstar1978) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport So my sons phone was up for renewal, he rang 3 the other day and they couldn't give him what he wanted, so I was looking online found a decent package he applied for it had to pay a £29 upfront fee which he was absolutly fine with, still with 3. There was a problem it wouldn't

  • marcusmark2019 marcus (@marcusmark2019) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport No not a problem with any 4g...thats not what my convo was about

  • sarah_frtg Sarah FT (@sarah_frtg) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I ordered a 24GB data sim & free data sim last Monday, estimated delivery 25 Nov but got nothing. Spoke to a customer adviser yesterday, said it will be with me today & gave me a tracking number that’s not working, no email/text updates either. Can you help?

  • MaryMcAteer57 Mary McAteer (@MaryMcAteer57) reported

    26 days, many hours of webchat, three times escalated to official complaint status to get a response from @ThreeUK . I am so disappointed by this dreadful customer service

  • streaky64 Paul Bacon (@streaky64) reported

    @ThreeUK I can't believe that as a long time existing customer to upgrade 4 days early you want me to pay £24.06 but to leave is £8.82 so I will be leaving then.

  • JasonGolf7R Jason Blackburn (@JasonGolf7R) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport I have no account with you. I went on your website to order a payg sim for my ipad, filled in all my contact details making sure my contact prefs were set to nothing. But I never checked out as I found it cheaper elsewhere. That's when the calls started

  • Duenoveuno Tom 291 (@Duenoveuno) reported

    @ThreeUK the worst phone operator to get. If you want to change even the dumbest option you will be thrown in a loop of infinite procedures that neither the @ThreeUKSupport can help you with, because there are maybe 5 people dealing with hundreds of customers. Well done #3

  • ChazReal14 Charlie Real (@ChazReal14) reported

    @OliviaDBuck @ThreeUK They said they were gonna send me a new sim which they never did so I went in a three store got a new phone and AirPods for £50

  • glenatron Puns ponies & podcasts (@glenatron) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport The tariff I'm on is better than I had before, it's fine, but I don't feel like it's entirely ethical to offer a tariff and put a customer on a different one without any explanation. Why not just offer the actual tariff I signed up for? Or at least provide a breakdown.

  • MeganBartlett18 Meg✨ (@MeganBartlett18) reported

    Three are the shittest mobile network. Charging me up more for a service I’ve not received or resolved, hell nah. Been 3 weeks now @ThreeUK spoken to 10 different advisors, DO NOT use 3 mobile load of crap.

  • FreddieBujko Freddie Bujko (@FreddieBujko) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Hi. Brand new customer here. My number was supposed to be transferred yesterday as per the sign up stages for my contract. PAC provided I have received no info about it and nothing has happened. What on earth is going on? Very dissatisfied

  • SurDaft 🍺 Jack Stupple - Sur Draught (@SurDaft) reported

  • paulasnasdell paula snasdell (@paulasnasdell) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Just had to call again due to a bill being sent out and the customer services agent hung up on me. Time to find a new provider.

  • sammy_smith1 sammy smith (@sammy_smith1) reported

    @OliviaDBuck @ThreeUK Terrible customer service, let’s them years and years ago because they were so bad.

  • paulasnasdell paula snasdell (@paulasnasdell) reported

    @KillianGanly @ThreeUK Careful you don't go over your allowance they will charge you. I've managed to get charged £11 trying to sort out an issue.

  • jxdiecxnway -jodie- (@jxdiecxnway) reported

    @OliviaDBuck @ThreeUK I used to work for 3 until they made me redundant, i would cancel your contract and go with a different provider, they can’t even treat their staff right never mind the customers!

  • RudiDobson President-Elect Musicman (@RudiDobson) reported

    @OliviaDBuck @ThreeUK Three is a mobile provider for Chavs and people with bad credit......

  • bevstar1978 bev saunby (@bevstar1978) reported

    @ThreeUK disgusted how much son has been spoke to customer services, he had the phone been put down on him 7 times, on one occasion he was on hold to speak to a manager for 45 minutes. My family have been with 3 for years and years. When the contracts are up we won't be renewing

  • marsh_seagull Willow (@marsh_seagull) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport Thanks for replying (at least you didn't hang up like the phone support ALWAYS have done for me), hopefully this is sorted now as I used live chat instead who were very helpful.

  • JoeMiddletoe Joe Middleton (@JoeMiddletoe) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport just been cut off by the advisor after a 30 minute phone call.... he was unable to help me put me on hold and then cut me off! Poor service team 😢

  • ashleyelt Ashley Elton (@ashleyelt) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport @judypbooth Same issue. I'll DM you.

  • MaryMcAteer57 Mary McAteer (@MaryMcAteer57) reported

    @ThreeUKSupport they simply repeated their assurance that someone would 'take ownership' and personally see to me receiving the promised email. All very polite, but, they never did what they said. Today I finally received the email after being assured on 2nd Nov that it would take 72 hours.
